Candidate Spectrum by Brian Cato
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What would happen if Superman, Spiderman, Thor or even Wonder Woman decided they would be able to do more good and have a greater impact on the world if they were to run for a political office? The Author, Brian Cato decided to explore that intriguing question and presents us with Candidate Spectrum, where Superhero Spectrum decides to run for the President of the USA. Various issues crop up that make his Bid exponentially harder (he is an alien, he is always off to rescue people around the world instead of campaigning and more).
Embedded within the greater story is a mirror image of what America is currently suffering from. Issues that we are battling with, are reflected in the book, where an alien superhero attempts to fix it all. But can we be fixed if we as individuals aren’t open to change and being “fixed”? I found this to be an interesting book and I certainly was entertained.
