Reviews

STARRED REVIEW! These superhero origin stories are sure to rock your young readers' worlds! They will captivate fans of superheroes and comic books alike. The books are physically large, with big text and vocabulary words highlighted. The full-color drawings are even more appealing than they would appear in a smaller, comic book format.-- "School Library Connection"
