    About this ebook

    Dr. Christopher has a very difficult, unique job. He's a psychiatrist who works with superheroes. Some legendary warriors come with baggage and his job is to help 'keep 'em flying.' How are you supposed to save people who are supposed to be saving us? Half-serious, half-dark comedy, 'The Superhero Shrink' is "'The Avengers' Meets 'Ordinary People,'" an honest look at the people behind the masks.

It took a bit of scheduling work to ensure that nobody else would be visiting at the same time. I don’t do this for everyone, but the program pays triple my average billing rate, so it all works out.

      I glanced over his file, reminding myself of what I need to know to help my patient. NightAngel’s real name is Herschel, and he looked up when I open my office door.
