The story of the world's oldest new superhero continues! A confused but empowered Ruben navigates the discovery of his special ability and must choose who to confide in and how to express himself in a meaningful way. But at the age of fifty, is it too late to seize this new gift as an opportunity to become a hero...and reclaim his self-worth?
And more importantly, can he even integrate this monumental responsibility into his everyday life without hurting-or worse, pissing off-his family?

    This is a character-driven, slow-burning masterpiece, no pun intended. Buccellato, Simeone and Otsmane-Elhaou deliver a story of everyday heroism that promises to become truly extraordinary before all's said and done. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

    Captain Kwan's discovery of his powers is interesting, and the story balances "grounded" with "superhero" pretty well, though I'm not the biggest fan of the art. Still a pretty good comic. Read Full Review

    It's possible the series could turn things around, but these first two issues fail to hit the mark. Read Full Review

    This was a solid issue. Good to see an origin story for a new hero that's also very down to earth. I like the concept.
