"-- And The Brooklynite is good to go do good for the greater good in the spirit of superheroic good-heartedness! Or something along those lines."

"I've got Superman powers and Spider-Man problems."





- Jake, cartoonist, doesn't like the superheroes, too much ego and leaving so much damage, no honour. So he decides to become a new hero 

- self-destructive trying to get superpowers

- as a hero, will he fall into the same ego as all the other heroes he hates or be different? So far he's causing just as much damage and inflating his ego

- Home G.url/Adelita and A.O.C have good points but why make them look more villainous than heroic with Brooklynite?

- superhero elements are cool but characters are meh

- writing his own comic while couch surfing and being a hero... at least he's being more decent now

- ecological plight and global warming big theme in this webtoon which all comes down to the monster Refuge

- that was a satisfying ending though, team work and a happy end. 

- Again, loved the superhero element and the colours but the characters were meh for me
