Story
In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

This fourth wall-breaking, three-book collection showcases Jackson's adventures through fantasy realms, comic book universes, and classic space opera settings. Each fast-paced novel allows Jackson to flex his powers, skills, and wits as he exploits the rules, points out the respective genre's flaws, and undermines godly authority to win the day. All the while laughing at the expense of our beloved tropes. Because that is what villains should do, shouldn’t they?

The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

What if all the villains of slasher movies were real? What if the movies made about them were just adaptations of real-life killers with supernatural powers? This is a fact known to William and Carrie because their father, Billy the Undying, was one of the worst slashers of all time. So much so that they've spent the past decade in an asylum out of fear they'd end up just like him. Escaping, the two have decided to form a new life on the road. Except, a chance encounter in a dingy diner introduces William to the girl of his dreams.

Hank is a thug. He knows he's a thug. He has no problem with that realization. In his view the galaxy has given him a gift: a mutation that allows him to withstand great deals of physical trauma. He puts his abilities to the best use possible and that isn't by being a scientist. Besides, the space station Belvaille doesn't need scientists. It is not, generally, a thinking person's locale. It is the remotest habitation in the entire Colmarian Confederation. There is literally no reason to be there.

The fun continues
If you’re here you’ve probably already read the other Supervillainy books, and that’s good, because they’re fantastic. And this one is more of the same, in a good way! Gary has some good growth moments, even gets himself an 80’s montage for some of it! And there’s some tying up of loose ends that is satisfying to see. And of course you’re going to laugh along the way. The jokes and quips we’ve all come to love and expect in a Phipps book are here.
Like many of Phipps’ books there’s bleed over from other series. Unlike the others though, this one has quite a few spoilers for those. And in particular it’d be good if you’re current on the Wraith Knight series. Although Gary doesn’t know what is happening so maybe it’s ok if you don’t either.
Jeffrey Kafer knocks it out of the park as always on performance.

I always have fun with Gary's missions.
It's always fun to head out on missions with Gary. I love Gary's jokes and references to his favorite 80's shows, comics, music, and more. I'm almost afraid to admit....I get them. lol
This book has references to all the previous stories, along with Cindy's Seven too (which leads to a few things being the way they are for Gary now). But the previous books are a big lead up to this. Gary has rebooted the world and...there are consequences...complications even...that come with that.
Gary has to take time in this book and practice his spells and view himself as a god. This gives Gary a chance to think about what he wants and why he does what he does. Though, he'll never admit he does good not villainy. lol. There were a list of things that need to be done. It feels like there were several side tasks and stories that happened as we went along. Everywhere had another step to it. And all of it comes together to close this book.
We learn about the consequences and how to fix them. We see super heroes and villains fight Nazis. (lol. Loved hearing Death's view on Hitler. lol) We get a chance to see the family together again.
I'll admit, I was thinking it then Gary said it... Cindy is a little on the dark side. She's out further on the villain side of things. And she always blames Gary for EVERYTHING. I'm starting to not like Cindy as much as I used to. I'm all for strong woman but she seems to be laying blame everywhere on everyone. Kind of whiny feeling. But, I'm starting to think it's her way of dealing with feeling as though she's 2nd or 3rd on the list and her feelings for Gary.
Jeffrey Kafer always does an amazing job voicing the characters in this world. He has the deadpan sound of Gary dropping a great comment or reference that makes me laugh. Some of those remarks...I don't know how you do it Jeffrey. Great job as always.
I'm glad to hear there will be more books in this world/series. I'm looking forward to them!

Fantastic new edition to the series.
The villains are the usual colorful assortment, ranging from the Lich Queen of the Tsavong aliens to Omega, the time travelling Nazi who was once president of the US. In fact, a huge amount of villains make a return, since Gary's universe reboot wasn't quite as thorough as Gary would have expected. It's great to see some of the returning villains, especially since when the villains return, well, they have to be offset by heroes, right? But it's totally different from the final battle in Avengers: Endgame, totally. Nothing to see here, Disney, put your lawyers away.
The narration is performed by Jeffrey Kafer. He is so familiar with these characters, and is excellent at bringing them to life. When I read my paper copies of the series, I hear them in Jeffrey's voice, and it makes me laugh out loud. He brings the humor and sarcasm out of the characters, but he also really nails the sadness and pathos of the various characters as well. I can't imagine anyone else doing these characters justice.
This is a series that could be continuing on cruise control, but has somehow avoided that. C.T. Phipps obviously loves this universe, and is constantly coming up with new ideas to keep it fresh and exciting. I am excited to see where the story goes from here, because like the comic books, there is always a new story to tell. I highly recommend this series without reservation. Check it out today.

interesting interaction between characters
I know it's part of the gimmick but Deadpool has really ruined crossing over the 4th wall.

Had Me Laughing Throughout
C.T. Phipps continues to captivate with his ninth installment in The Supervillainy Saga, The Fall of Supervillainy. Gary Karkofsky aka Merciless, aka… too many others, finds himself navigating a newly rebooted Earth where superheroes and villains coexist in an uneasy balance. Phipps takes readers on a wild journey through alien realms, fantasy dungeons, and dragon encounters.
One of the most impressive aspects of Phipps’ writing is his ability to sustain the entertainment factor across multiple books. Even nine books into the series, I find myself thoroughly entertained by the clever mix of humor, action, and unexpected twists. I rarely leave a Phipps book without a smile on my face. The author’s creativity knows no bounds, as he introduces readers to new worlds and characters that keep the narrative fresh and engaging, even nine books deep. And his ability to weave worlds together and combine the different stories into one continuous multiverse is nothing short of amazing.
Phipps’ signature humor is at the forefront of this story, delivering laughs that made me chuckle. The witty banter and sarcastic undertones woven into the dialogue showcase the author’s mastery of comedic writing. The humor not only provides a delightful reading experience but also serves as a constant reminder of the series’ unique charm.
In The Fall of Supervillainy, it felt like the series was hurtling towards a climactic conclusion. However, Phipps manages to leave enough threads untied to hint at more adventures to come. This delicate balance between resolution and anticipation adds an extra layer of intrigue for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Jeffrey Kafer’s narration continues to be a standout element of the Supervillainy Saga. His delivery perfectly captures the essence of Gary, bringing the character’s snarky and sarcastic moments to life.
The Fall of Supervillainy is so darn good at delivering an entertaining and humorous experience that fans have come to expect from C.T. Phipps. Whether you’re a loyal follower of the Supervillainy Saga or a newcomer looking for a lighthearted and action-packed read, this installment is sure to leave you eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Gary Karkofsky’s unconventional journey. Though this is the ninth book, I would consider picking up some of the first books before diving into this one because not knowing the characters would have confused me.

I will always listen to a new Gary story
This is the ninth book in the Supervillainy Saga and I continue to love my time with Gary Karkofsky, a.k.a. The Supervillain Without MercyTM. In this story, Gary has to face some of the consequences of past actions. He rebuilt the world to try to make it a better place, but even trying to make the world better has repercussions. And Gary has to deal with them and save the world and more importantly to Gary, his family. Even supervillains have to do the right thing with the possibility of the end of the world.
This book has all the humor and pop culture references you expect from a C.T. Phipps story. I don’t always get all the references, but that doesn’t take away from the story. I love the snarkiness of all the characters. And of course, there’s fighting Nazis like any good comic book style story.
This has been a really fun series and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. I would not start this series without starting at the beginning. Especially this book, because there’s a lot of references to previous stories and characters. I was glad to hear there were going to be more Gary books.
This series, and pretty much all Phipps books, are great to take you out of the real world and get you out of your head. The stories always put a smile on my face. It has been a really tough week at work, which is why this is posting on a Sunday instead of my normal Friday. I just didn’t get this review written and couldn’t find time to get it done during the week. But even without reading and only thinking about this story for this review helped take some of the weight of the week.
Narration:
Jeffery Kafer is a wonderful narrator for this series. His performances are always stellar. He was the original reason I picked up my first Phipps book, and I’m so glad I did. He is magnificent at bringing out the humor in the story. And his character voices are first-rate. I always look forward to any story performed byt Kafer.
**I'd like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Another good listen
I've really enjoyed the series since its beginning. If you've liked the series so far, this one won't disappoint. I found my mind wandering less on this one than I had to one before (before Cindy's 7)

Back to the old ways
I was relieved that this book helped redeem the series. It was Leaps and Bounds better than Cindy's Seven. Although there were some points that dragged on a bit, it brought the story back to a much better place than the last book.

It's ok
It's ok. Just feel like this series has gone on too long. More cases of jumping the shark.
