SYNOPSIS:
Laser vision isn't so hot when you're cross-eyed, and supersonic flight's a real downer when motion sickness keeps you grounded.
Twelve-year-old Marshall Preston is a Defective--a person with superhuman abilities that are restricted by some very human setbacks. While other kids are recruited to superhero teams, Marshall's stuck in seventh grade with a kid who can run at super speed but can't turn a corner, another with a radioactive peanut allergy that turns him into a swollen Hulk, and a telepath who reads everyone's thoughts out loud.
Defectives like Marshall aren't exactly superhero material, but when he uncovers a plot to destroy one of the greatest superhero teams of all time, Marshall and his less-than-super friends set out to prove that just because you're defective doesn't mean you can't save the day.
MY RATING: ★★★★★ This comics has a potential to make it big because not only kids but also adults will no doubt have a good laugh while reading this. I also love the positive lesson it wants to convey to readers that it doesn't matter if we are defective or not perfectly to be a hero; all it takes it our willpower to be. From now on, I'm adding this to my list of comics to be followed. |
