Amazing. 12 short stories, none of them connected but all spun off of the central idea of teenagers having superpowers. The end result is like if they let Irvine Welsh or Chuck Palahniuk write the X-Men.

The idea of superpowers as a metaphor isn't a new one, but this is a really good application of the idea, and Wood has a really good grasp of how it would feel to be a teen with those kinds of powers and abilities. You might be able to read minds or heal from any injury, but you'll still have the same family squabbles and insecurities that any other person had at that age.
