Comic-Con, 2036. The world is rocked by the bizarre and inexplicable materialization of Cateklysm Catholicon - a colorfully clad whack job decreeing that humanity's only hope lies in the lessons found in superhero comic books. "Cateklysm's Challenge" is born, enticing even the most skeptical with a prize that promises "the power to change the world".

But two decades later, the world has gone to crap. The prize, the challenge, and Cateklysm himself have all been forgotten by everyone but the Chowderheads - diehard superhero worshippers, who champion the progressive ideology infused into comics.

Enter Clayton Clayborn, a tragically orphaned, 17-year-old, second-generation Chowderhead living a dystopian nightmare existence on a Martian space freighter. Obsessed with the challenge, he'll face a gauntlet of comic book nerdery that will take him to alien worlds, thrust him into gladiatorial combat against supervillain look-alikes, and push him to the brink of annihilation in the heart of what seems to be the Batcave. But as Stan Lee would put it, "Excelsior."

"The comic book nerd's Ready Player One... Fun, frenetic, creative, and the ending hits like a ton of bricks." (Portland Book Review)

I loved The Chowderhead Crusades and Patton Oswalt’s reading of it. Both truly delivered more than I was expecting. The book has an abundance of action and comic moments that couldn’t have been read any better. Between the witty writing and some hilarious delivery by Oswalt there’s a lot of fun to be had here.

Comic book fans must read

This is an amazing book ! I listened on audible and have the book with prime . It’s such a trip and a half. I see why critics compare it to ready player one. It’s very very similar, but at the same time kinda completely its own thing. Ie the whole world was captivated by the events leading into ready player one , where as, the world was relatively unaffected by the events , besides the fact that the villain is a “true believer” and it set everything down an amazing twist. And Patton oswalt is a treasure as the narrator.

Such a treat !

JJ does a great job creating a unique story ripe with elements that fans of Ernest Cline will be immediately drawn to. Walsh’s influence by Cline is evident throughout the book, with similar pacing and nerd level attention to pop culture detail, this time being laser-focused on the world of comic books. While I appreciate the obvious influence Cline had on this story, it’s the aspects and plot choices that reveal JJs personal style that standout as the best portions of the novel. Overall it’s a story you will be hard pressed to step away from, and the choice to bring in Oswalt to narrate the audio book is borderline perfect. The honor of being labeled a chowderhead is immediately thrusted in the same level and air as Gunters, Trekkies and Padawans. Give this book a download and enjoy the ride…it’s FTL

A tale any Gunter would love

I had been looking at this title for a while, and was on the fence, but bought it because yo was read by Patton Oswalt.

I was not disappointed. It was a good story, well paced, well developed and well read.

The narration really made it pop. Oswalt seems to me just to be an really likable person, pleasant to listen to, and his voice characterizations are great.

Im guessing he and I could not be further apart on the political/social spectrum, but that has no bearing on talent, and so I would likely buy an audio book just because he was the reader.

Buy the book; you will not be disappointed.

Patton Oswalt sealed the deal.

If you thought “ready player one” was too focused on pop culture and not enough on comic books, this book may be for you. This was a decent idea, filled with the usual tropes. This isn’t the most original book out there but it is a fun listen. Low expectations encouraged… and you might enjoy it as much as I did.

Okay story and a good listen

Not an academic study of superhero lore, but not too far off, wrapped in a well-constructed story. And Patton Oswalt was so perfect for the role.

Solid book, solid casting.

I say "fast-paced" but that really starts 20-30 minutes in, because there's a good amount of world-building like most sci-fi. After that it really takes off. I loved Ready Player One and this really was the comic book version. And Patton Oswalt is such a comic book buff – I don't think anyone else could have done it justice.

Fast-paced and fun

The PDX Book Review nailed it. It really is “the comic book nerd’s Ready Player One.” And Patton Oswalt reading it makes even more what it is. If you’re really into comics, you’ll love the book for nostalgia. If you’re just kind of into them, you’ll learn a ton...while the main characters fight for their lives. Lol.

Ready Player One for comic fans!
