Collects issues #1-4! Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Get in on the ground floor, because it all starts here! Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he WOULD be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time. Mark is forced to go out on his own, and try and figure out how all this superheroing business works. The results are a monumental disaster, at least until he gets the hang of it. Watch Mark thwart thieving super-villains, alien invasions and all sorts of craziness.

Probably would not have kept reading if I wasn't told something big happens later.
I wasn't really into this. I thought the writing was really cheesy.
Based upon the little I've seen of the show, this series goes in a ... direction. Unfortunately, it looks like the comics are not quick on the upswing. The intro feels very basic so waiting for it to transcend into something unexpected.
I was really interested in this book a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It was recommended by a guy named Hector (@hectorisfunny on Instagram and Twitter, also a host on Superhero News on YouTube) who is a major fan of the series, and since I wanted to dive more into comics without relying heavily on the Marvel and DC standards, I decided to give this one a shot. I've been reading a few indies here and there, and they've been really great. This one doesn't disappoint either. It's a superhero comic book, but then again, it's more than just that. It's really a coming-of-age story about a young guy becoming a hero. Mark Grayson is a great protagonist, and his story is different, but still comic book-y in a sense. I think that's also another strength–that the story doesn't take itself too seriously. It's very self aware, knowing that it's a comic book. That's what makes it great.
I didn't really have any cons. If I did have to say something, I would say that sometimes in the issues, the story would shift scenes rather quickly. I thought I was missing a few pages while I was reading, but I soon realized that the story just jumped around and caught on. This volume was a great introduction. Not the strongest beginning by far, but it'll hook you. I can't wait to get the next volumes.
