The transition from mundane school moments to thrilling superhero battles is handled with skill, maintaining tension without overwhelming the listener. Matthew Cody’s storytelling excels at weaving together relatable scenarios with awe-inspiring powers. However, some pacing issues occasionally disrupt the flow, particularly during longer stretches of dialogue-heavy scenes.
