All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman
All Tom’s friends really are superheroes. Tom even married a superhero, the Perfectionist. But at their wedding the Perfectionist is hypnotized by her ex, Hypno, to believe that Tom is invisible. Nothing he does can make her see him.

With no idea that Tom is beside her she boards the plane: Tom has until they touch down to convince her he’s there, or he loses her forever…

He’ll have to make a deal with God. A magical tale that
I don’t know why but the idea of giant men as cattle ranchers sounds very very interesting! At least I’ve never seen a story like that before.
Anybody read them? Or others from Telegram Books? Any thoughts?
I think I’m going to be paying a bit more attention to them now I know about them
