Roland Mann is proud to announce the release of his sophomore novel, THE INTERNS, a young-adult superhero comedy that blends heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure into a coming-of-age story about a young superhero finding his place in the world.
“Most folks here will know me from my comic work,” Mann said, “But I’ve been writing prose for just about as long as I’ve been writing comics. I just tend to focus more on my comic writing because I love the collaborative nature of it. But I’ll admit I’ve had a blast writing The Interns, and I think anyone who has enjoyed my comic work will enjoy this novel.”
THE INTERNS tells the story of seventeen-year-old Caleb Randolph, who has just graduated from the superhero academy trained to become a top-tier superhero — cape, fame, city lights, the whole package. But when internship assignments are announced, Caleb doesn’t get a big, glorious city like New York or Los Angeles. He gets Oxford, Mississippi. Forced to operate under the identity of a small-town school mascot, Caleb must navigate small-town life, awkward encounters, and unexpected dangers while discovering what it truly means to be a hero.
Saving the world is easy. Surviving your internship is the hard part.
