Superpunk

Rate this book
Ela é irada. Ela é uma super-heroína. Ela enfrenta monstros gigantes. E o melhor de tudo, ela é punk! Conheça Violeta… ou melhor, Superpunk!

Quem vê Violeta por aí, andando de skate com o toca-fitas de seu avô plugado nos ouvidos, pensa que se trata de uma pré-adolescente comum. Mas, ao tocar uma fita cassete ao contrário, ele liberta monstros e ganha os poderes para assumir seu alter ego "Superpunk", uma heroína mascarada cheia de atitude. Ao lado de seu fiel escudeiro, o podcaster e investigador sobrenatural Alan, ela enfrenta diariamente as criaturas sombrias que somente os dois são capazes de enxergar, ao som de bandas como BadBrains, The Specials e Bikini Kill.

Entre sua rotina de péssima aluna e skatista fajuta e sua agenda de combate a ameaças sobrenaturais, Violeta ainda terá de lidar com o retorno de uma velha amiga, que vai obrigá-la a reviver seu passado, e com a invasão de uma horda de monstros em sua escola.

O multipremiado quadrinista Guilherme Petreca (Ogiva, Shamisen) se junta à roteirista de TV Mirtes Santana (Turma da Mônica: a Série, O Menino Maluquinho) nesta aventura radical para todas as idades, sobre o punk e a necessidade de se rebelar, mas também sobre crescimento, autoconhecimento e amizades inesperadas.

Este novo lançamento do selo Original Pipoca & Nanquim chega em capa dura com verniz localizado e 156 páginas totalmente coloridas em papel couchê de alta gramatura. Uma HQ repleta de energia, referências pop e espírito punk!

160 pages, Paperback

Que quadrinho divertido, simplesmente uma leitura prazerosa e descontraída ao mesmo tempo, mesclando muito bem ação, cultura punk, adolescência e amizade. E tudo isso com desenhos incríveis!

Superpunk conta a história de uma garota que recebeu um walkman de herança de seu avô, e quando esse wakman toca uma das fitas ao contrário, ele dá poderes à Violeta, a personagem principal do gibi.

Com o recebimento desses poderes, Violeta passa também a enxergar monstros que mais ninguém consegue ver, e por isso, ela passa a atuar como super heroína derrotando os monstros e aprisionando-os em seu toca fitas.

Apesar de toda essa sinopse indicar apenas um quadrinho de ação e aventura, o roteiro também trabalha a questão de amizades, principalmente no caso de Violeta tendo que lidar com uma amizade que retorna depois de tanto tempo.

O quadrinho está longe de ser tenso e propor alguma discussão filosófica, mas ele trabalha uma diversão honesta, que sinceramente, eu deveria ter lido quando adolescente que estava na minha fase descobrindo o rock, punk e metal.

Komiks o trzynastoletniej punkówie, która słucha klasycznych kapel, jeździ na desce i wciąga potwory próbujące zaprowadzić w mieście porządek i dyscyplinę do walkmana swojego dziadka??

DAWAĆ MI TO ⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥

Absolutnie nie będę poddawać tego albumu ocenie. Jestem po prostu wniebowzięta, że takie rzeczy są u nas wydawane, że mogę je dać do czytania moim dzieciakom i sama mieć przy tym też kupę funu. W zasadzie nie wiem nawet czy to naprawdę komiks dla młodych czytelniczek i czytelników, a nie dla takich podstarzałych rebeliantek jak ja (biorąc pod uwagę slang używany w przekładzie, powiedziałbym, że to drugie. Jestem przekonana, że dzieciaki z podstawówki na tekst „mama jest w tyrce” powiedzą „ok, boomer” 😅). Oczywiście fabularnie opowieść jest dostosowana do wieku odbiorców, dla których jest przeznaczona - prosta, dynamiczna, zabawna historia o odwadze, przyjaźni i o tym, że trochę bałaganu jest w życiu potrzebne. Jest tu przygoda, bunt, pazur i dziewczyńskość przełamująca stereotypy. Do tego świetne, miłe dla oka, zadziorne kolorowe rysunki, które zapraszają do zabawy - to nie pierwszy raz, kiedy Petreca sprawia mi swoją kreską wielką przyjemność.
To wszystko powoduje, że „Superpunk” jest świetnym komiksem. Ale to nie koniec!

Fioleta od pierwszej do ostatniej strony słucha muzyki, a my słuchamy razem z nią, bo Mirtes Santana na bieżąco się dzieli tym co dźwięczy w uszach bohaterki. I to właśnie ta playlista dodaje całości 1000 punktów do zaj€bistości 🖤❤️
Znalazły się tu same sztosy, aż odpaliłam ją sobie na ripicie. Zastrzyk energii, humorek zrobiony, zero potrzeb.
Fantazjuję, że moja młodzież domowa poczuje się zainspirowana i porzuci na chwilę wojanki, genziary i trendy z tik toka na rzecz prawdziwej muzy 😈
Spisałam dla was wszystkie tytuły, żebyście mogły i mogli się zabawić nawet jeśli nie macie komiksu w domu.

„Superpunk” to najczystsza frajda. Kocham!
Netflix powinien zrobić z tego serial.

A super fun read, some skateboard action for bonus - this would be perfect as an animated series, too!

Jak tylko przeczytałam parę pierwszych stron tego komiksu, poczułam, że się rozpromieniam wewnętrznie, a na moją chmurną twarz wychodzi słoneczny uśmiech! Ale nie tak, że promieniuje jakoś rentgenowsko i toksycznie, ani nie że moja radość z jakiegoś niezdrowego radu czy polonu się bierze xd Po prostu moje wnętrzo-zewnętrze poczuło się jak szczęśliwy berbeć letnią porą stawiający wesoło zamki z piasku na plaży albo hasający sobie do woli z zaprzyjaźnionymi psiakami zadowolony szczeniak xD

Taki przesłodziacki i przekochany jest ten komiks! O trzynastolatce Fiolecie, o wymownej ksywce Superpunk, która nie dość, że kocha punka, to jeszcze jest superbohaterką jeżdżącą na deskorolce i zwalczającą potwory (to moja druga ulubiona deskorolkarka po nocnej irańskiej wampirzycy w hidżabie xD). A swoje supermoce czerpie z odtwarzanego na starym walkmanie punka! Prawda, że brzmi wspaniale? xD xD xD Nie mogłam trafić lepiej! Do tego wspiera ją jej mały team złożony z przyjaciela Alana i Gigi, dawnej przyjaciółki z dzieciństwa, która sobie trochę u niej nagrabiła...

To jest opowieść przesiąknięta dziewczyńską punkową mocą! Trochę jakby Kathleen Hanna z Bikini Kill prowadziła "szkółkę niedzielną" dla dziewczynek aspirujących do zostania członkiniami jej słynnego ruchu "Riot Grrrl". Punkowo-feministyczna młoda fala nadciąga na kolorowej deskorolce w rytm "Rebel Girl" Bikini Kill" (to jest nieprzypadkowo pierwsza piosenka, którą Fioleta słucha na walkmanie ;-) ) i niczego się nie boi! Bardzo mi się podoba to powiązanie miłości do muzyki ze spontanicznością i wyzwalającą się dzięki tym emocjom energii. Sami wiecie, jak to działa, kiedy słuchacie swojej ukochanej muzy ;-)

Do tego twórcy wpadli na pomysł, by pokazać nam, jakiego konkretnie kawałka słucha Fioleta, kiedy wkracza do akcji - nazwa zespołu wraz z tytułem piosenki są zawsze zobrazowane w odpowiednim miejscu.

Niby to taka prosta, optymistyczna historia dla nastolatków, ale i stare dziewczyny i chłopaki będą mieć frajdę!

Dla tych, co kochają punka, deskorolkę, mangi, graffiti, potwory i wegeszamkę xD

Love!

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
February 17, 2026
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

If you're a fan of lighthearted, graphic novels, this book is probably for you. If you're still a fan of Captain Underpants or Dog Man, I think it is truly right for you. However, I struggled to really enjoy the characters and plot as much as I wanted, but I think it is the perfect book for a middle school audience.

Plot:
The plot is a little like "Bleach, But For Kids". A girl gets superpowers and the ability to see monsters no one else can see by listening to a tape her grandfather left her. It's not a bad idea, but the execution wasn't all the way there for me. It felt like it was missing something. Maybe it's because it's a more middle grade rated book, but it felt like I just needed a little something extra.

Characters:
Characters are important to me when it comes to reviewing books. While I didn't feel as connected to the characters as I wanted, I do think my students will connect with them. Especially those more in the sixth grade range.

Who Should Read This:
Middle school students and upper elementary. I will 100% be buying copies of this for my media center because I do think the students will devour this book. My 6th graders I know for sure will enjoy it.

POPKULTUROWY KOCIOŁEK: Superpunk to pełna energii, kolorowa opowieść o nastolatce Violecie. Na co dzień jeździ na deskorolce i słucha muzyki z walkmana. Jednakże, jednym ruchem taśmy odtwarzanej do tyłu staje się bohaterką, tytułową Superpunk ubraną w maskę i gotową walczyć z potworami wyciągniętymi z kasetowych taśm. Towarzyszy jej Alan, młody podcaster i badacz zjawisk paranormalnych. Razem chronią świat przed mrocznymi stworzeniami, słysząc przy tym punka i ska — w stylu Bad Brains, The Specials, czy Bikini Kill.

Komiks bardzo zręcznie balansuje między symboliką buntu, a opowieścią o dojrzewaniu. Violeta to nie tylko superbohaterka. To zbuntowana dziewczyna próbująca odnaleźć siebie. W tle pojawiają się wątki przyjaźni, nostalgii i potrzeby akceptacji . Poznajemy też trudne relacje bohaterki z dawną przyjaciółką oraz jej przeszłość, co nadaje historii głębi. Jednocześnie, Superpunk to historia skierowana do całej rodziny. Nawet najmłodsi czytelnicy z łatwością ją zrozumieją, a niektórzy utożsamią się dzięki niej z bohaterką.

Jeśli chodzi o stronę wizualną komiksu, prezentuje on rysunki pełne dynamiki i skupiające się na detalach. Styl przywodzi na myśl przeróżne kreskówki. Plansze są żywe i nie brakuje w nich młodzieńczej ekspresji....

3,75 stars rounded-up to 4 stars!

"Villainous evildoers, beware! As quickly as the sound of punk music fills the room, the heroes race to rescue!"

That was fun! Light and easy to read and understand. The playlist was so good tho! I rarely listen to punk songs, but the playlist provided in this book was also easy to listen for me who almost never listen to punk songs.

The idea of superhero who fights monsters with music player, recorder, and punk songs was so refreshing, at least for me. Even more because the characters in this book were middle-graders.

Not only about punk stuff, the storylines were also heavy on friendship and loving who you are and what you love to do. Being different is totally fine and it certainly not bad.
However I also slightly disagree with the kids being so rebellious. Fortunately this book also drew lines, albeit slightly, between self-worth and rebellious. I hope the young readers could read between the lines while reading this book.

The writing style was witty and fit with middle-graders vibes. Same goes with the illustrations. Fun and playful with details that fit the overall vibes of the book. I don't know why but the illustrations kinda reminded me of Astro Boy style of illustration.

Thank you to Mirtes Santana, Oni Press, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
April 9, 2026
I received an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
For a thirteen-year-old skateboarder, Violeta, being punk is everything to her. While listening to her grandfather’s old cassette player of punk music, she starts to play it backwards, which leads her to turn into a superhero. But with every superhero comes a supervillain, in the scary form of shadowy monsters. Can Violeta, as a SuperPunk hero, save her town from all-consuming evil?
It’s time to play some punk music and come up with sweet moves on your skateboard, and that’s exactly what the main character (Violeta) does in this action-packed graphic novel. From wearing plaids and having punk colored hair, this superhero or superpunk just wants to save her town from the strange creatures that want everything in order and in obedience. Lime greens and retro reds splash together across the multicolored pages of one young teen who wants to make a difference while saving her friends and still having time to skateboard, too.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing access to an early review copy of this title in exchange for my honest feedback.
After unintentionally releasing a horde of monsters by playing a vintage cassette tape backward, thirteen-year-old Violeta must navigate her dual life as a skateboarder and podcaster while embracing her new role as a superhero. Alongside her sidekick Alan, she utilizes her Superpunk abilities to protect Hollow Hills and her school from the supernatural chaos she inadvertently unleashes.
This graphic novel was a enjoyable read. I particularly appreciated the detailed illustrations, especially the two-page spreads. The author also includes Violeta's playlist, giving insight into the punk rock songs she listens to as she confronts the monsters. I am hopeful for a sequel.
I believe this book will be well-received by students, and I plan to add it to my library collection.

Essa é uma HQ super rápida de ler e super gostosa, não vejo a hora de ler com meus filhos, ela pode ser lida por um adulto porém pode ser lida por uma criança também, pode trazer várias conversa interessantes com as crianças. Tem um traço muito lindo, com cores vibrantes e um roteiro redondo porém deixando uma brecha para a continuidade que espero que ocorra logo. Meu único pesar, é a demora para o segundo volume, porém com o sucesso desse primeiro, espero que os próximos sejam lançados com menor tempo pq essa HQ vai longe, essa é uma serie que eu pretendo ler com meus meninos

This was fun. It's about a skate punk girl who gets superpowers from the cassette tape of old punk her grandfather made for her. She battles these slug monsters who try to take over her school and turn everyone into "order and discipline" zombies. It's fun stuff.
