Smash: Trial by Fire by Chris A. Bolton

4.0

Andrew has always looked up to superhero, Defender, even dressing up as him on Halloween. When Defender is defeated by archenemy Magus, Andrew is inadvertently given Defender's powers. Wearing his homemade costume, he sets out to defend the innocent and bring evil-doers to justice - all the while trying to go to school, do his homework, and defend himself against the school bully.

Quite a fabulous graphic novel. I enjoyed it thoroughly and imagine that once it goes out, it won't sit on the shelf again for quite a while.
