Summary
Exploding from the pages of Horror, Humor, and Heroes, Volume One - it’s the full length adventures of the one and only Mechani-Cal! So grab your battlesuit and prepare to get a little nasty.
"Being a supervillain means never having to say you’re sorry - unless it’s to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don’t really have to. It’s not like it’s going to change the outcome or anything." Those are the words of Calvin Matthew Stringel, better known as Mechani-Cal. He’s a down-on-his-luck armored villain. Follow his exploits as he gets swept up in a world domination scheme gone wrong and ends up working for these weak willed, mercy loving heroes. Immerse yourself in epic battles and see what it’s like to be an outsider looking in at a world that few have ever experienced. Climb into Cal’s battlesuit and join him on his journey. Will he avoid selling out his principles for a paycheck and a pardon? Can he resist the camaraderie of being on a super team? Does he fall prey to the ample charms of the beautiful Olympian Aphrodite? How will he survive the jealous schemes of Ultraweapon, who wears armor so powerful it makes Cal’s look like a museum piece?
See the world of “righteous do-gooders” through the eyes of someone who doesn’t particularly care for them. Revel in his sarcasm and hang on for one wild ride! Just remember: losing an argument with a group of rioters isn’t a good excuse to start lobbing tear gas indiscriminately at them. You’ve only got so many rounds and it’s going to be a long day, so make sure you get as many as possible with each one.

Decent story. Quite short.
I thought this was a sequel to the story in the back of 'Horror, Humor and Heros' but that story is actually repeated in the first four chapters. Overall it's quite a good story although a bit short. The characters are quite fun, the plot doesn't take too much to follow and there's some humour in it as well. There's good narration and I'd say it's worth a credit.
Having listened to this again years later I will say that the second half drags a bit and the protagonist's mopeyness gets quite tiresome. Still decent enough book though.

Not as good as the prequel
So, I guess I listened to this in the wrong order - Confessions is not as good as Origins. This may be just because Bernheimer improved as a writer, but this is definitely more episodic (well, clunky) and doesn't flow very well. Still, it was a fun listen and kept me entertained for the duration.
Pick it up if you're after a short, entertaining romp. If you're after a deep discussion of what it means to be a superhero, keep looking!
Looking at the length and reviews of the next book, I think I'm going to stop this series here.
