Hh. If I was at a loose end I'd do one of them in a heartbeat. As it is I'm banking both, with a slight preference for one, and it can fight my superhero/Frankfurt School crossover that no one will EVER publish because: superhero/Frankfurt School crossover.
My advice: take a day or three off to write copious notes. That takes the edge off the attack novels and lets me focus on the day job again for a while.

I've noted at speed and I'm pressing on - deadline waits for no one :)
I *wasn't* at a loose end but luckily my current rabid attack novel is coupled to the space opera I shelved at 80% so it could write itself closely enough my agent can hopefully sell them as a twofer. It's just one project that unexpectedly bloated from 130K words to 250K words in two volumes.
I dunno, a “superhero/Frankfurt School crossover” pitch would get _my_ attention
It's certainly a good starting dialectic for critical analysis of Nietzsche :-)
After Gnomon (if not before) I learned to ignore the blurbs on your books and just enjoy the ride.
I live to give blurb writers migraines...
I would read superhero/Frankfurt School crossover! Self-publish it, you can have my tenner. Might be the only tenner but still...
