Cute, adorable fluff. It's nothing too heavy or complicated. It isn't going to revolutionize the way you read comics. But it isn't really trying to. It's trying to capture a sort of adorable package of superhero action, and, in that regard, it succeeds.

If you have a Comixology account, it's worth it. I mean, you can get it there on Unlimited for free. But I don't know if it's something I will revisit time and time again. But I loved reading it, so that's something.

Whoa!! This is a fast- pace, action packed story! And truly a delightful one at that! It has magic, bad guys, a magic fish that can shoot lazar beams and turn into a giant whale! Also a HUGE FOUND FAMILY aspect which i love! A beautiful diverse cast and the colour of the graphic novel really brought the story to life!

"We're more powerful together." I was promised that this would be good. And it totally was. Some of the panels were a little busy and therefore hard to follow but a lot of fun.

Art was interesting and different, but it’s a pretty typical story of a ragtag group of people who acquire powers by some means and learn the power of friendship/love. Points for the variety of characters but it didn’t leave much of an impression on me.

This was a fun, quick read, but nothing earth-shattering. It wasn't bad, but I had no strong feelings about it. I wasn't a huge fan of the art. To me, the bright solid colors and few lines looked awkwardly like blown up webcomic art on a physical page. (I actually wondered if it first ran as a webcomic, and I didn't know about it, since I'm terrible at keeping up with webcomics.) The book's strengths include the fact that the cast is diverse (different ages, genders, sexual orientations, occupations) with a positive message that, yes, everyone can save the world, even if they don't fit preconceived notions of heroes, and that we're all stronger together.
