Invulnerability is a pretty useless superpower if you've only got a one-hundred-pound frame to back it up. That's what Quinton West's life became when he went from small guy who got beat up to small guy who can't get hurt after the meteor shower dubbed "The Event" gifted him the power of invulnerability but no other powers to compliment it. But there's more to Quin than meets the eye, and after some encouragement from his new mentor-a local New Orleans-based superhero named Glow-Quin realizes that he can use his quirky hobby of creating Rube Goldberg devices to outsmart the opposition. But being a hero paints a target on your back, and Quin's got to risk it all to join the ranks of the superheroes he looks up to. It's a good thing he can take a punch.… (mer)

While I’m personally drained from the real-world parallels/social commentary (black communities being underfunded/sabotaged, police brutality, protestors getting whooped as if they’re criminals, unsafe neighborhoods, etc), it works very well here. I feel for Quin. His desire to be accepted and have friends, his frustrations about learning the hero business all by himself, and his questioning his morality/who’s really the bad guy are all so good. Dr. Davis' motivation makes sense too. No one is black or white here. maybe the villain was a little cartoony tho

If superheroes really existed, I could see some asking if they would be another form of cops. The unrest from so much systematic stuff just bubbling over…I just really enjoyed reading this.

Also, I love the cast of New Orleans superheroes. Glow, Noble, and so on seem so cool. I would like to read stories from their perspective as well.

I had a bit of a bad moment when I realized this takes place in the Catalyst Prime universe, but I think as long as Quincredible stays away from the whole Evil McEvilness Corp preoccupying Nova, Kino, etc. and continues to focus on community challenges and family dynamics, it'll be all right. ( )

***why a maybe***
LOOK AT THAT COVER COME ON WHY WOULDN'T I?!

But based on reviews it has a few things I actively avoid reading about. At this point in my life I can't handle it. It feels somewhat dumb to admit that but hey we all deal with stuff in our own way, right?

I'm a huge sucker for the 'getting your posts and now you have to hide them' trope. Even if it's done poorly and everyone who says that that bugs them but still think Superman is the bestest thang since sliced bread... Well. Also I read somewhere a comparison to Static Shock. I grew up with the cartoon. Like DC had him and Cyborg. And Marvel had Storm. Those characters were Gods in our household. And Spider-Man for some reason.

What I mean to say is every comparison with Static Shock is a plus in my book. He was such a sarcastic shit in my memory. I don't know if that's true but if the main character even is like 10% the same, I suspect I will enjoy him.

Dear Future-Me,

Hurry up will you?

Greetings,

Past-Me

I did like the main character Quin. Also, artwork is vibrant and good. The plot isn’t something that will blow your mind off. It does cover some important social issues but still needs a bit of improvement in some of the aspects of the plot such as the dealings with the villain and the conclusion.

Overall, a decent comic, hoping for something more in Volume 2.

Thank You to NetGalley and Oni Press for this ARC! ( )

It's my first time dipping my toe into this new superhero shared universe from Lion Forge. This title is from the second wave of releases, so there are a lot of established heroes running around that I have never heard of before, but the focus is on Quinton West, a high school freshman who has discovered that he has what he considers the totally useless power of invulnerability.

There's a strong Spider-Man vibe (both Peter and Miles) as Quin explores his power, keeps it secret from his loving parents, deals with bullies, and crushes on a classmate. I started liking the intelligent and introverted Quin a lot as he navigated all this, which is good because the book sort of falls apart in the last two chapters with the introduction of a boss character out of nowhere, complete with battle suit and secret headquarters. A sloppily constructed final confrontation is almost laughable but won't keep me from picking up the next volume. ( )
