Strong Female Protagonist: Book One

I haven't been great about updating my graphic novel reading, it's hard to think of Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ as a place to review them, but why not, I have a shelf dammit! This is my latest read, a thick graphic novel that was crowd funded on Kickstarter, which is cool.
I'll be honest: the title was a bit of a turnoff for me. I think the phrase is so overused in media that I had to overcome a bit of unconscious reluctance to get into this. Thank goodness I overcame it! This is a really fun journey of a girl trying to be normal even though she's "super". It reminded me a lot of the new Ms Marvel, which I ADORE. In certain parts it did feel like it was trying to hard to check the boxes of rebellion against the tropes of Superhero comic, but the ability of the author to generally put an interesting twist on them, especially later on in the book, was really refreshing. I was drawn into the story and would love to read more!

It's a webcomic, if you like to read that format
A few weeks ago I skimmed through this at the bookstore, and seeing it's potential, I promised myself that I would return to purchase it someday. But I didn't make a digital reminder and my brain failed me when I tried to recall the title. You have reunited me with the graphic novel that got away!
Great review.
Great review.
I love that you said that...I've been recommending this title to people for months and leading with "The title sucks but I swear it's an amazing series."It only gets better too, amazing writing and plotting, a really intelligent take on what it means to "fix the world", in an awesome semi-superhero wrapper.
so glad I discovered this series! and Issue 5 just gets even better (and more important, and makes me more hopeful.... gah!)
