Six teens realize that their parents are a team of super-villains when they witness them make a ritual murder. As they discover their own powers, they must make plans to challenge their parents and run from the law that their parents control. Some violence. Ages 12+.

This really isn't a graphic novel but rather the first six installments of the comic book in one book.
I enjoyed the story, but now I need to rest of it.
Basic premise is that a group of kids discover that their parent's really are evil and they are either aliens or mutants of some sort. So now they are out to stop their parents.
It's too short. (
