Interesting premise. Art work is good. The only weird bit is Molly -- she's 11, but acts much younger. I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out which kid is the mole. Hmmm. ( )

This is exactly what it promises to be. It's a classic teenage fantasy, complete with superpowers and genetically modified pet dinosaurs, but it somehow manages to work perfectly without causing the reader to wince.
I love books like this - when the storyline sounds suspiciously like what one would fantasize about while on the toilet, yet for some reason there's nothing campy about the execution. I don't know how it is done, and I don't want to know, because I'm afraid that it might spoil it for me. All I know is that, from where I stand, it looks pretty much like magic. ( )

An interesting little graphic novel about the children of supervillains. Although I can't say I'm completely convinced that's what's going on...

I'm enjoying the story, the characters, and the art, and I get the feeling there's something pretty big going on behind the scenes. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if it ends up being straightforward, which it probably will be. ( )

I love everything Marvel. The storylines are incredible! They have everything you could want: action, adventure, comedy, romance, political intrigue, allegories, metaphors, etc. Some stories drag, some end too soon. ( )
