Karolina Dean is also a beautiful angel in the comics? check!

The teens start to discover one by one that they are each special. It’s getting a little hokey now, but still a fun read.

[Ash Reads Books · Rating 2 out of 5]

A quick read that fills in some of the gaps between comics and adds a bit of character development, "Hidden Powers" isn't the best Marvel has to offer - the art and the writing both feel flat, and the story is just boring. Another quick superhero tale with not much else going on. I personally wish the writers had taken this book as an opportunity to further develop both protagonists and secondary characters alongside their arcs in the comics, but the story functioned more as filler than anything.
