13 year old Ashley has had a rough go at life. When her dad is incarcerated for murder, Ashley lands in foster care. Convinced she’s as bad as her emotionally abusive dad, she continually strikes out on foster parents.

Until she finds the ones who see her for who she is.

Primer is a sweet introduction to a new superhero that kids and adults can relate to. It’s a story of family and friendship and taking risks. I love that Primer is a new hero in the DCU; part of what makes this graphic novel great is it doesn’t rely on canon. Stacked with vibrant colors and art that jumps off the page, this is bound to find a place on everyone’s shelves!
