This was written/illustrated by my mom’s friend’s husband!! She bought a couple copies to support him and I really wanted to read it and write a review!! This was so, so cute and something I would have loved as a kid. Perfect for kids who love comics!

Very funny and engaging. Perfect for fans of Dog Man, Captain Underpants, The Investigators, Bad Guys, Catwad etc. Bright and bold illustrations, lots of jokes and adventure!

Fans of BABYMOUSE and DOG MAN will likely delight in this crisply-illustrated, comical superhero tale.

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for an advanced copy of this graphic novel.
The cover and blurb of this book caught my attention as I have a reluctant reader who prefers graphic novels and audiobooks. He adores cats and his favorite books are Dogman, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Last Kids on Earth. I am impressed this book features a girl of color in the STEM field and I was impressed by the illustrations and engaging text. My son particularly loved the questions at the end of every chapter and pacing of the action. He loved the humor as well. He is not usually one who reads arcs so he was sad he has to wait so long to have the physical book and longer for the next book in the series.

3 stars = fine, solid
Graphic novel superhero tale where Max ingests a bit of a space meatball and gets super powers. The power goes to his head which leads to a friendship fracture with his scientist friend, Mindy. Max has to reconcile with Mindy as well as defeat the villain.
Fans of the genre will enjoy this one, but I didn't find anything special in this first volume. It doesn't have the humor or heart of Hilo, for example, but I believe kids will get a kick out of Max and be eager to see what happens next once the Big Boss is revealed at the end of this book.

What a fun early reader comic! Kids in 2nd grade and up will love Cat. Crusaders colorful, delightful adventures.

Fantastic book, with an uncommon superhero!
I got this primarily for my son, who is a big fan of anything written, and even more so if it has pictures!!
He has read all of the Big Nate series, Dogman, Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, How to Train Your Dragon... you get the idea!
He absolutely loved this, and read the entire book in under an hour!
He can't wait for the next book in the series, and - of course - I'll keep an eye out for it!
