Spoilers This is a review of the first 10 graphic novels in this series. This series started off strong. I'd probably finish up if they were all on Scribd, but I'm just not interested enough to go on from here. The Art kept changing throughout this series which I found distracting. Volumes 8 and 9 i...

At first you feel like: hey, I can predict what's going on next. Six teenagers with super powers found their parents are evil so they run away and fight with them. Sounds exactly like a mediocre recipe. But these three books tell a very convincing, fun, and complete story. The powers of all chara...

I completely don't understand why there's such hype about this series. The drawing is ugly, the story stupid. Can't believe this was written by the author of Saga.

This was a lot of fun when I wasn't totally distracted by the fact that the cover was peeling right off my brand new book, making all the pages pretty loose (FYI: don't get the paperback if you think you might want to read this more than once).I loved getting to know each of the kids, and I loved ea...

I'm really becoming a Brian K. Vaughan fan. A group of kids find out their parents are super villains (though I'm still not convinced on whether or not they are) and decide to fight back. Off to request the next volume And the Arsenic and Old Lace reference is awesome.
