I discovered Tech Jacket from the pages of Invincible and thought he was a cool enough character to try to read some of his backstory. Good stuff just written for a younger audience. While I like the manga style of E.J. Su's art it can occasionally be difficult to tell what's what in each panel. Who's the good guy. Who's the bad guy. You get it. Also, much like Kirkman's The Walking Dead, I don't like not being able to tell how much time has elapsed in a story. Not until the end do we know for sure but, while reading, it just feels too quick and like Zach is far too accepting of his fate and quick on the training.

Pretty straight forward hero origin story that's basically the modern day Blue Beetle/Green Lantern/Iron Man mashup. A kid gets fused with an alien powersuit and fights some aliens. Like the first volume of "Invincible" it's fine but nothing special. The characters are likeable, but it's no surprise this series got overshadowed by "Invincible".

Really original graphic novel. This was my first non-DC/non-Marvel superhero story. I'm bummed that the series ends so abruptly, but at least there is a small amount of closure. I'm definitely going to read the Invincible series.
Clearly not Robert Kirkman's best work, or close, Tech Jacket is a pretty poor showing from one of comics best. The idea is pedestrian and the art is so basic. The story is so bland and has been done a million times (and even by Kirkman). Overall, not worth your time.
Just finished "Tech Jacket Vol. 1: The Boy From Earth,"
It's a solid read. The pace is incredibly fast, and the main character always seems to come out on top, creating a comforting vibe since there is an absence of high-stakes situations. Would definitely recommend, especially if you enjoyed the Invincible series.

Mindless and light reading. Alien race with powerful armours transfers the thing to a human and they become powerful above conceivable features.
