If you want to get a taste of what the book is like, here’s a taste of the humor from an interview the ‘author’ did with USA Today.
Q: You dedicated the handbook to Doctor Doom. Did this cause friction between you and your peers such as Cobra Commander and the Red Skull?

Q: Why is “Mwa-ha-ha” preferable to “Bwa-ha-ha” in terms of maniacal laughter?
A: Etymologists unanimously agree that the letter “M” is simply more terrifying than “B,” in laughter situations. They told me so that time I held an etymologist conference hostage and asked them dozens of times until they got it right.

A: I assume once I have control of every world government and wield limitless power over all humanity, Henrietta will finally call again — I mean, the romance question will settle itself.
