This one caught my eye because of Noel Clarke's film & TV work. Turns out, he's a durned good comics writer, too. There are hardcore shades of X-Men here, but Clarke and artist Joshua Cassara riff off the base concept in some compelling ways, with a harder edge. It does falter slightly near the end as a few new concepts leap in, and it needs a content warning for rape, but I loved it and hope there'll be more stories about these kids.
