An assortment of cliches about high school - not real high school mind you, but the cliches associated with fictional versions of high school such as jock-on-nerd fisticuffs, jock-on-girlfriend fisticuffs, girlfriend-on-jock fisticuffs (not cliche but not original), and stepfather-on-stepson fisticuffs, with a dash of X-Men movie realism thrown in. Really disappointing, but I'm pressing on to volume 2 ...which borrows a plot device from The Next Three Days and what I'll charitably call a referen...
The hype is real. It's a very simple and nicely depicted story.
This is such a great comic I would recommend
Having finished volume one, I feel like the strongest element that this comic has going for it thus far is the artwork.

The artists obviously didn't use the right Asian references. My guess is that I normally don't like the over use of photographs and when they try to make the story look like a T.V. series or a movie. When they trea...

They bond over their shared secret superpowers (Duncan can kill with his mind) and then Madison does something which means they have to leave town – and never go home ohmigawd just like the title!! … The initial scene isn’t very convincing once you get to know Madison’s character: she goes with dumb football star for a feel-up session in his pickup. But, des...
Bummer that it doesn't look like we will get a second volume. I'd be interested to see where this could go. I loved that the team included so much cover art in the back showing the process of making a comic series happen. I can see why people might not like this trade, due to the easily unsympathetic "Duncan." Luckily I found him sympathetic because of the authenticity in his actions, often fuck ups, in spite of his intentions. I appreciate how a young, naive, egotistical character and violence
