Quincredible Vol. 1
Quincredible Vol. 1: Quest to Be the Best! | Rodney Barnes
4 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
Invulnerability is a pretty useless superpower if you've only got a one-hundred pound frame to back it up. That's what Quinton West's life became when he went from small guy who got beat up to small guy who can't get hurt after the meteor shower dubbed "The Event" gifted him the power of invulnerability but no other powers to compliment it. But there's more to Quin than meets the eye, and after some encouragement from his new mentor--a local New Orleans-based superhero named Glow--Quin realizes that he can use his quirky hobby of creating Rube Goldberg devices to outsmart the opposition. But being a hero paints a target on your back, and Quin's got to risk it all to join the ranks of the superheroes he looks up to. It's a good thing he can take a punch.

Quin trying to cope with power and responsibility and survival in a post-Katrina New Orleans. Enjoyed.

4 🌟This superhero story is at once typical, but also unique. It takes place in New Orleans after Katrina, and after some cosmic event that has made enhanced individuals. Quinn just happens to be such a person. This story is both a look at how politics and natural disasters can affect a community, and a look at the inward feelings of a teen boy in a poverty stricken area. This book feels like it should belong to Marvel, but has more heart.

A fun read. After a strange meteor shower, Quinn is invulnerable. He thinks it‘s a lousy superpower at first. Then he meets Glow, who also has a meteor-given superpower and she urges him to help his community.
I like how relatable he is, and how his parents are a part of the story. The diverse cast of superheroes is great - like Quin, many are trying to figure things out. This optimistic, hopeful comic has a great young superhero for our times.
