The fact that this comic speaks to a lot of other people's interests and experiences instead of mine? That doesn't hurt me at all. There's a ton of media tailor made to please me. And even if this isn't my favorite comic ever, I'm really glad it exists. But I'm not going to run out and order them. But I'll happily admit that it's a possibility. I dig a lot of books with female protagonists. That can make it a lot harder to get into a story.īut it's also fair to assume that this story didn't speak to me as strongly because the main character is a teenage Muslim, and a child of immigrants.

Part of the issue might be that I don't know *anything* about the original hero that the story is based on. (And I always try to be completely honest) I'll also say that it didn't really thrill me, either.

But if I'm going to be completely honest here. I enjoyed it, and appreciated the fact that it wasn't just another same-old superhero origin story. I'd been hearing good things about this book for ages, so I finally decided to pick it up.
