Vi la serie primero y este solo es el primer volumen así que no espero que sea como el primer capítulo ni nada.
Es bastante introductorio a lo que es el protagonista y su familia (el título ya lo dice igual)
Tengo ganas de seguir leyendo.

I’ve watched the Amazon Prime adaptation of the comics. So far I like both. The comic does not go into as much depth on the characters’ emotions specifically hoe Mark felt finally getting powers. Did he feel left out before? Lonely that his father is always leaving? I can infer that, but perhaps because I’ve already seen the TV adaptation.
We learn a lot about Mark’s dad solely from his behavior (constantly leaving to save others, absent from his family, high expectations for his son’s powers once they finally manifest and requiring Mark to get a fast food job to “build character.”) Mark’s mom also shows us a very reserved housewife Image, but she’s colored in blue/purple, which makes me think she’s secretly lonely, anxious, and sad. She always asks Mark and her husband how their day was, but no one asks her how her day was.
I like the high school vs teen super hero balancing act Mark has to learn. I’m curious to see what challenges come upset the balance.

Spoiler

he carries a man wearing a bomb to the arctic and watches him die. Mark acts nonchalant afterwards but I’m interested to see how the weight of superhero responsibilities and sacrifices affect him later. He also fights aliens. I think the awe of getting powers and fighting is still high and the burden hasn’t hit him quite yet.

So, this is a fun approach to the typical superhero origin story.

Rather than it being a monumental occasion, Mark Grayson and his family are quite underwhelmed when he begins to manifest super powers. To be fair, this is probably because Mark’s father is one of the most powerful superheroes on earth. It was kind of expected that Mark develop powers.

Anyway, Mark starts to use his powers to fight bad guys and team up on missions with other super powered kids. His father helps along the way, demonstrating some questionable morals at times… But, overall, this is shaping up to be an interesting spin on the somewhat tired superhero genre!

Looking forward to reading more~
