"What if you can leap tall buildings and defeat alien monsters with your bare hands, but you buy your capes at secondhand stores and have a weakness for kittens? Cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks brings charming humor to the trials and tribulations of a young, female superhero, battling monsters both supernatural and mundane in an all-too-ordinary world"--Publisher's web site.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Meh. submitted by eknapp on December 14, 2014, 12:43pm A nauseatingly wholesome strip about the everyday foibles of a young superhero in a small Canadian city. She is frustrated by her lack of career success, her need for a hobby, her perfect superhero older brother, money problems, lack of social life, etc. Gasp, just like you and me.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be amusing but it's an utter failure in the funny department:

Superhero Girl rescues a cat by pulling a tree out of the ground a la Mr. Incredible. She then pets the cat. Ha.

She spends several panels learning to knit, then says "Crap I did it wrong again." *cough*

She tells a criminal to put himself in jail and he does...

I don't think I'm the target audience. I guess it's for little kids, or maybe people who like Peanuts.

comic strips, not graphic novel submitted by camelsamba on August 3, 2017, 9:29pm This is a series of comic strips, not really a graphic novel. It is at the middle-grades reading level. For older readers, it is fun but not compelling.
