Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC
| Author | Joseph B. McCormick |
| ISBN | 1570362777 |
So my criticisms for this book remain. It seems to be a direct response to "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston by continually saying things like "despite what popular fiction and non-fiction novels say Ebola does not 'melt the organs' they stay intact" which is fine.

Avengers: Heroes Welcome #1
| Author | Brian Michael Bendis |
I honestly thought this was very cute with an uplifting message. There is no action so to speak. Just a teen costumed hero who seeks out the Avengers after sitting in a class listening to a teacher say how the Avengers and those who wear costumes/masks are not heroes. We then have some of our fav characters...
