[Mati G. W. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un creator-owned que pasó injustamente desapercibido. Se publicó en España en dos tomos sólo la primera saga.

[Kaiya · Rating 1 out of 5]

I honestly had a very hard time following this book. I think the rough idea was this kid (Spy Boy) was a super hero but his knowledge of his identity was erased and his super self was like a 2nd personality. His dad seemed to want to keep the fact that he was super human a secret from him. Spy Boy gets wrapped up in fighting some bad guys and is triggered back into his superhero personality. The art style was very stereotypical superhero art. Very crisp sharp edges with very vibrant colors. The only genre this really fits into it superhero. I think the authors purpose for writing this was solely for entertainment. I wouldn't recommend this book because it was really hard to follow. There were some sections where it felt like the author wanted the reader to feel like they were reading a school project or something by adding outside commentary. The main female character felt very objectified and overly sexualized to me. It was a fast read but very un-enjoyable.

Lo leí cortado en la vieja edición española, probablemente fuera de orden, pero debería darle una segunda oportunidad.
