Book Favorite

"Shonda [Rhimes] is a rock star and a superhero, and if you have not read her book, it should be your New Year’s resolution for 2016. You should read Year of Yes. It is one of my most favorite books I have ever read—and I like books. It’s so good"

Generally, female superheroes are few and far in between. If I told you to name female superheroes you would struggle, and female superheroes of colour would be even more difficult, but what about a Muslim female superhero?

Enter Kamala Khan.

"Sports Chalet goes glam. This is the kind of fake superhero gear my band wears onstage. Also reminds me of Buckethead, the guitar player, who wears a K.F.C. bucket on his head. I heard that Cale used to show up at dinner parties dressed like this and refuse to take off the mask."

This was a reread for me, but it had been awhile since I'd read this and the mood struck me. I enjoyed this just as much this time as I had the first time around. I've tried Kirkman's other works, The Walking Dead, Outcast, and Haunt and they all fell flat for me, and to be honest, I'd forgotten that Kirkman had written this too, so I guess it's just his horror titles that I don't like. I thoroughly enjoy the family dynamic in Invincible, with Markus Grayson and his mom, Deborah, fully embracing knowing his dad, Nolan, is the superhero Omni-Man. When Markus' powers manifest, he decides to join his dad in crime fighting as Invincible. I think I like Deborah most of all, as her matter of fact acceptance of the danger her husband and son face on a daily basis hides the concern she actual feels for her family.

This is a quick introduction to the core and supporting cast, and the actual superhero aspect of the story is really just the backdrop to Markus' family and him discovering his powers and how he is learning to balance them with high school. I really liked the minimal line art and color palette used; it's marks a stark contrast from other superhero books and their hyper detail and layered color effects, which I think is the point. This book is a superhero book, but it's different from the rest. I'll definitely be continuing with this series.
