  The first issue plays out more like a conventional pilot issue, establishing the central character and the series tone — which leans towards lightheartedness with a tinge of darkness overhead — but setting up no larger story points.

I genuinely enjoy the conceit of a dead sibling acting as mentor to her costumed successor, but the Blockheads are perhaps my favourite villain conceit in a long time. It's all illustrated in a pseudo-Bruce Timm or Darwyn Cooke-like style by George Kambadais that is perfect for the tone of the series, and accentuated by the vibrant colors of Christopher Crank.
