[Critterbee❇ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Outstanding! Great premise, and a wonderful start to a promising new graphic novel series!

I liked the pacing and feel of this story. Interesting premise, likable hero and heroine, dark dealings by shadow groups, believable conflict between the main characters and a very fresh, modern superhero story.

Recommended for fans of superhero graphic novels, and those who like stories about ordinary humans becoming extraordinary.

Even though this is the first issue in the volume, I felt like it was the middle of the story. Other than that it's interesting and has great rep (neuro divergent). The story line explores friendship, bullying, absentee parents, and resilience. I think I will continue with the series.
