“<i>Supreme Villainy</i> is the best supervillain memoir since <i>The Art of the Deal</i>.”<br /> —Mike Lawrence, comedian and writer<br /><br /> “While we have all lived for decades in fear of King Oblivion’s sinister machinations, Wilson’s thorough biography is a witty, irreverent, and genuinely hilarious take on the mind of history’s greatest monster.”<br /> —Chris Sims, writer of <i>X-Men ’92</i> and <i>Deadpool: Bad Blood</i><br /><br /> “They say that history is written by the winners, and that’s certainly the case for the supervillain known as ‘King Oblivion Ph.D,’ whose reign over the world lasted for decades and saw him responsible for some of the most heinous acts in history.

Wilson pieces together the contradictions, lies, and self-aggrandizing braggadocio to paint a picture of a villain who never fails except on purpose, and whose setbacks are all according to plan. . . . [King Oblivion is] an unreliable, unsympathetic narrator who will undoubtedly incinerate this reviewer in due time."<br /> —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /><br /> “Thanks to this exhaustively researched book, I finally know the ‘inside scoop’ on King Oblivion, the man who burned down my village and disintegrated my family!”<br /> —Geoffrey Golden & Amanda Meadows, <i>The Devastator</i><br /><br /> “On one level, it’s a funny, clever satire of the pop culture villains of a classic mold, done with a surprisingly light touch given the number of people consumed by sharks. On another level, it’s pretty much a guidebook for our modern cultural scene, and doubtless will be taken as non-fiction once our real-life megalomaniacs catch up to King Oblivion. Get the well-earned laughs out of <i>Supreme Villainy</i> now, because it will soon be taught in schools.”<br /> —Ross Johnson, B&N.com Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
