Comicbook Wednesday




Ok, so I may have misled with my original post. Wednesdays will be about comics, but not just the comics that have come out this week.

With that here's my review of Dynamo 5: Post-Nuclear Family Volume 1.

Captain Dynamo is dead, tower city was open to criminals and supervillians to take over and run rampant... Until, Madeline "Maddie" Warner the widow of Captain Dynamo finds his little black book and uses that information to find children he has fathered through his infidelity... there are unsurprisingly five of them.

Hector Chang aka Visionary: X-ray vision, laser vision, telescopic vision
Olivia "Livvie" Lewis aka Slingshot: Flight
Spencer Bridges aka Myriad: Shape shifting
Bridget Flynn aka Scrap: Superhuman Strength
Gage Reinhart aka Scatterbrain: Telepathy

The book opens with the team already formed and fighting crime while also leading their normal lives, Gage plays football, Bridget is a movie theater employee, Hector is a highschool nerd, Olivia is an activist, and Spencer is a player.

There are really two main focuses of this book I can go into without spoiling anything for you:
First is how these five half siblings have to adapt to each other and their differences to become a team learn to get along with each other as they all also come to terms with the fact they are now members of a brand new family.

Secondly, and the one I found particularly interesting was the story about Maddie, her past, and how she is dealing with the fact that her huband was a superslut while being a superhero.

This is another great title by image that I would highly reccomend, as always I promise these will get better with time, it will just take time.
