And because I don't have enough to read as it is, i decided to do a #LitsyAtoZGN as well.
4 🌟This superhero story is at once typical, but also unique. It takes place in New Orleans after Katrina, and after some cosmic event that has made enhanced individuals. Quinn just happens to be such a person. This story is both a look at how politics and natural disasters can affect a community, and a look at the inward feelings of a teen boy in a poverty stricken area. This book feels like it should belong to Marvel, but has more heart.
A fun read. After a strange meteor shower, Quinn is invulnerable. He thinks it‘s a lousy superpower at first. Then he meets Glow, who also has a meteor-given superpower and she urges him to help his community.
I like how relatable he is, and how his parents are a part of the story. The diverse cast of superheroes is great - like Quin, many are trying to figure things out. This optimistic, hopeful comic has a great young superhero for our times.
