Reptil catches us up on his latest developments: He's settling in with family in LA and is ready to leave super-heroing behind him. But of course, the villain that comes hunting him in the back half is having none of that! This book is evenly balanced between family drama in the front and wham-bam fighting in the back, polished off with a nice set of twists that encourage me to keep reading. While the dialogue in the first half can get a little dense and expository, I appreciate the level of depth and nuance all that information brings out of the character relationships. I love the art throughout. I also like the subtle shift in tone that comes over both words and writing when the action starts; everything gets faster and more dynamic. A great start! more

I love how real these characters are. Me and my cousins are kinda like that. The art gives a manga and not a comic vibe, it's not bad, it's just not that fitting.

Damn these teens are really self-aware.

Not amazing, just kind of boring.
