The basic premise is "What if Superman was raised by black slaves instead of the Kents?" The result is the superhero Icon, but he doesn't become a superhero until a young woman suggests it to him. She becomes his sidekick, Rocket. The characters are interesting and different, nodding toward the Superman origin but creating their own mythos with their own themes and topics. It does a great job of being politically relevant without being propaganda--I don't usually like gang stories or political stories, but the characters and writing make up for it.
The art is also great. I really enjoyed the whole experience of reading this and I wish more people had heard of it. ( )
