You're fifteen years old. You're suddenly granted incredible powers. Cool, right? There's only one problem: you can only use your powers for ten minutes at a time. What do you do when you have to save the world but you only have ten minutes to do it? This is the problem faced by Oliver Leif, a teenager who has just moved to a new town, and a new school, and is having a hard enough time navigating classes and his crush before the inter-dimensional monsters started showing up.
Ollie Leif is the new kid in town and has to make his way through the first day at a new school in a new neighbourhood. Kaare Andrews does an exceptional job in 'E-Ratic' #1 of setting out and establishing the various characters and relationships as well as sign posting future problems coming Ollie's way too. All delivered with humour and great art. Read Full Review
The of dialogue was a bit kitsch. At times it came off with an Archie feel or something for the Mean Girls fan club. But I will give this issue extra points for not treating the teenagers as a group of vapid beings stuck on their phones all the time. Read Full Review
E-RATIC #1, available from AWA Studios on December 2, 2021, introduces a new hero that feels like an authentic kid trying to make it through the average troubles of life. The writing is engaging and the art pulls you into this new, albeit slightly off-kilter, world. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed this first issue. Sure, I would love to have more action and more costumed characters. But great stories take time to build, and I can wait. Make sure to check this one out; AWA hits another home run with E-Ratic. Read Full Review
E-ratic seems to be setting up one jam-packed series if this first issue was any indication. This first chapter dealt more with the angst of Oliver’s youth rather than his super heroic adventures, but definitely helped to get to know his character better. If you love teen dramas, great art, and super heroics, I’d recommend checking this series out. Read Full Review
A highly professional, slickly produced re-production of the Spider-Man character for the 2020's. The hero gets his powers for only 10 minutes a day, so - as the book says - that leaves a crap-ton of time for everything else related to life....like starting a new high school, meeting teachers and future friends/enemies/romantic interests, learning about his Mom's questionable life choices, growing envy of his brother, etc.
AWA's creative guy is Axel Alonzo, who comes from Marvel, and the author/artist is Kaare Andrews, who has experience on Spider-Man. It shows. That's not in a bad way, because they do it quite well. The book follows through on larger AWA-verse trends started in The Resistance, with a worldwide plague knockin more
