Highly recommended. -- ""CM Association"" Powerful, immersive storytelling, with the additional force of kinetic art by Scott B. Henderson and colouring by Donovan Yaciuk. In addition to the explosive superhero storyline, the novel also contains a powerful exploration of trauma and loss, the aftershocks of heroics, and the human cost of being superhuman. --Robert Wiersema ""Quill & Quire"" Stunningly illustrated by Scott B. Henderson, David A. Robertson's Indigenous young adult story delivers an emotional and suspenseful adventure that humanizes the dark reality of super-powered beings. -- ""Ramón K Pérez"" Version Control beautifully navigates friendship and action with stunning illustrations and a superhero heart tinged with horror.
