Superior

Superior (2010-2012) #HC

The ultimate Make-A-Wish program as a young boy with MS is offered the chance to be the superhero of his dreams for an entire week. During that time, the boy decides to change the world for the better. However, when his time is up, his guardian angel reveals his true nature and it’s now up to Superior to either battle for the earth or his very soul.


A refreshing take on comics about children. Usually, a kid gets powers and goes on a rampage, until at the last minute when they made some fatal mistake and learn that they can’t life up to the role. That does not happen here. This kid who turns into Superior actually makes a difference and has a good heart.


It’s also a unique commentary on the character of Superman and his “goody-goody” image.
There are quite a few swears and some suggestive imagery. But, otherwise 'Superior' is a very good tale that if given a PG-rating for language, would be "kid tested, parent approved."

WORTH CONSUMING!
     
 Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
