Really love the concept of it and with my Spy-Fi infatuation it scratched the itch. Teenish fiction at its best and I found it quite funny in places. Certainly gave me the idea for some paint schemes for my evil masterminds. As well as some characters to boot.
From the back
H.I.V.E. (Higher Institute of Villainous
Education) is a top-secret school of applied villainy where children
with a precocious gift for wrongdoing are sent to develop their talents
into criminal mastermind. After all, ‘villains have the best lines and
wear the best costumes’.
One small catch is that the children cannot
leave until training is complete, six years later. With villainy comes a
certain freedom of thought, and every year one student in particular
will show exceptional talent – after all, it takes the best to produce
the worst.
This year there are two students: Otto
Malpense and his new friend Wing Fanchu are both exceptionally bad, and
they are definitely not keen on being held against their will for six
long years . . .
I'd certainly give it a 7 out of 10
Sounds promising!
