Brian & Bobbi
Brian & Bobbi is a story for those who feel ignored on a daily basis. Brian has gone completely unnoticed all his life, despite being born with amazing superpowers. Bobbi is the illegitimate daughter of a superhero who can't seem to convince anyone she's just a regular kid. By chance, the two meet and what results is a coming-of-age tale set upon a larger than life superhero backdrop. It's a graphic novel where the super villains, the powers, and the incredible fight scenes are really just the catalyst to tell the much deeper story of two people who couldn't be any more different -- or any more alike.

A great non-traditional superhero story. The artwork is amazing, and adds a lot to the pathos of the storytelling. Perfect for YA fans looking for a quick read.

A very refreshing coming of age story in tradition of Kick Ass and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. A fun read for all ages. Coelacanth lol, is a new kind of Superhero.

This is a decent take on the otherwise fairly standard superhero origin story, as well as the coming-of-age scenario. The premise has a nice twist to it, and the art is decent.
Overall, though, it gives the impression of being a better class of fanzine, rather than a professionally published work. I know 215 Ink is a smaller, independent publisher, but Brian & Bobbi would have benefited from some more editorial intervention in terms of its writing - nothing major; just some help with the pacing and the characters' growth. Bobbi's big realisation at the end ends up feeling very abrupt, especially since it isn't really given any time to sink in, neither for her or the readers.
But all in all, it's worth a read, even though I don't feel the ned to go looking for the creator's other work.
