Rounding off his Archvillain trilogy, Lyga sends frustrated preteen antihero Kyle (self-styled Azure Avenger, but more commonly dubbed Blue Freak) back in time to find definitive evidence that rival superhero Mighty Mike is really an alien invader. Landing in 1987 (an occasion for hilarity: "What on earth is an Internet'?"), he discovers a new nemesis, plus keys to his own past and future, before returning to save his hometown once again is time from a (wait for it) zombie plague. Though the plot is a messy tangle, Kyle's relationships with his best friend and with Mighty Mike are at last straightened out.

Sick of his heroic acts being misinterpreted as villainy, Kyle (Archvillain; The Mad Mask) decides to travel back in time to right the past. But as he departs, a zombie-type plague infects his hometown and a malfunction strands Kyle in 1987; he must figure out how to return to save the present day. Morally complex, Kyle's quest for redemption is engaging.

YESTERDAY AGAIN is the third book in critically acclaimed author Barry Lyga's Archvillain series!

Kyle Camden, a.k.a. the Azure Avenger, unintentional Bouring archvillain, has a foolproof plan to finally prove that Mighty Mike, unintentional town superhero, is an alien. Kyle's going back in time to the night Mike Mighty showed up on Earth and video tape his arrival. Yet he decides to use the time machine just as something evil has been unleashed on Bouring during the Annual Time Capsule Burial. But Kyle can fix it when he's back, right?
Kyle accidentally overshoots his intended destination, landing in 1987, and burns out his time machine. Things get even stranger when he accidentally befriends his dad at age twelve, meets Sheriff Monroe (his archnemesis in present time) as a teenager, and discovers William Lundergaard lurking around. But Lundergaard isn't any younger. How did he end up in 1987 and why? Kyle better figure it out fast. Because if he doesn't get back to the present immediately, well, there might not be a present anymore!
