Quincredible Vol. 2: The Hero Within by Rodney Barnes
4.0
Thanks to Netgalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review :)
This is a nice, fast-paced comic that follows Quin after he found out that he has a special power: Invulnerability. This time we are diving into the world of Voodoo. Quinton West is back as the would-be hero of his city New Orleans, battling against a new enemy who wishes to claim the historical land for himself.
I wouldn't say there is anything especially new in the superhero type story, but it is a really good read. I enjoyed this volume way more than the first one, even though it followed the same kind of formula: you have Quin struggling to understand what type of hero he could be, the bad guy (way more character development this time around), other cool superheroes with interesting powers, a mentor for Quin, a romantic interest and some interesting historical facts. The historical aspects really fascinated me, Quin is learning the history of New Orleans and Voodoo. An assignment that leads him to the mysterious Madame Adelaide who gives him a new task to fulfill for the good of New Orleans.
As in the previous volume, my favourite part of this comic was the relationship Quin has with his parents and their implication and understanding. I just love his mother and father so much. They are an important part of the story and they try so hard to help and understand him. There are some great scenes with the whole family and I just appreciate them so much.
I totally recommend this to anyone that is a fan of any type of superheroes. Also, if you want to read about a great family, this is the comic to try :) Enjoy!
