Customer Reviews

Great Concept and Diversity Representation!

Overall, I liked the concept of this graphic novel. I am a huge fan of the Marvel-verse and I was super excited to get to this graphic novel! The artwork was beautiful and added greatly to the story. However, I just feel like this one wasn't for me. The characters seemed very flat and boring. The way in which the main character got her powers is still confusing to me. I loved the diversity of the cast though! Great representation. I just didn't feel this story. I did not connect to it the way I had hoped I would. Very quick read and builds up some anticipation for the next one.

Still trying to find the superhero comic for me

I'm gonna be honest, superhero comics are not my fave. I keep trying to get into them with the ones that sound most interesting (because I do like graphic novels AND novels with superheroes), those with diversity, tropes I like, etc. This was fine, but hasn't converted me to a superhero comics fan yet. I do think I might continue to see if I get more into it as the character develops more.
