This superhero story is at once typical, but also unique. It takes place in New Orleans not only after real life event Katrina, but also after some cosmic event that has made enhanced individuals. Quinn just happens to be such a person. But he is a “normal” teenager, only now he can not be hurt. He is still a nerd, still afraid of people at school, and still very much worried about the downfall of his society after the cosmic event. There are other Enhanced, but he isn’t like them. He can’t do anything special, he can only survive. This story is both a look at how politics and natural disasters can affect a community, and a look at the inward feelings of a teen boy in a poverty stricken area. When will things get better? Can someone help things get better, how can things change, and what role can just a teenager play? All these questions Quinn is asking himself. His only true answers is that things can not stay the same, and maybe, just maybe he can help. This book feels like it should be long to Marvel, but there is more heart, and more insight to real world problems.
