Quincredible collects at an appropriate time. Who would've thought that a franchise released a couple years ago could happen again in real time. People have powers of the mundane and super kind from various events but not a lot of people are sure what to do with them. Some like Quin are more concerned with protecting what he loves and try to have a life, which is more than many people can get. With conspiracies, a hurricane, police and riots in reaction them are running rampant throughout New Orleans people are scrambling to get a handle on what they have to help a greater whole. Some parts will definitely feel a little fast like people not being able to see the relationships between parents and friends in the mundane, but times of crisis have that affect on people. Like when street gangs are going around looting and with powerful high-tech weapons, some endorsed by people because they believe non-violent protests just can't work. Some people are even willing to turn against the superheroes because they see superheroes as just more cops. But it is really okay to judge people just because they want to put themselves in necessary risks to help others for no great reward? Quin in particular certainly thinks a lot about this stuff which makes him a little more interesting than most mainstream heroes. His decisions and how he reacts to them are certainly believable, especially considering he's a freshman in high school. I feel like Quincredible is a hero and series that people need now more than ever.

Quincredible is a very fun, wonderful read which has amazing artwork and characters, I can't wait to read more about them.

3.5 stars

I liked the story. It felt like the creator took things from the current situation we're living and blended it with the superhero story line which is somehow traditional in a lot of comic books and I really liked it on this one.
My thing is that... i didn't fully clicked with Quinn. He felt too unrealistic for me.
Also, it was me or it looks like Quinn's face in the cover and end pages looked different than the one inside the storyboard? I don't know but that bugged me.
Anyway it was an entertaining story and to be honest ill happily read more of Quincredible!

I absolutely adored this comic! I thought it was amazing and that it showed so much character development. In this story we follow Quinton on his journey and I loved seeing all the events that evolved around him.

The art style of this comic is really good and intriguing. The main characters all have good dialogue which thank god, we all know how shitty it is when you read a comic with bad dialogue. The whole flow of the story was good. And there were no plot holes that I was concerned enough about to be annoyed about so to say!

I loved this comic so much and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a genuine and fun read. I will definitely re-read this in the future and I'm hoping for a volume 2 soon :D

Quincredible Vol. 1 is a fun and thought-provoking introduction to a new super-powered world. With a truly diverse set of characters and a background of a community trying to heal from a natural disaster, we follow an absolutely relatable young man, Quin, as he navigates high school in a time of adversity. And, like many high schoolers before him (in the world of comics), he is faced with a great responsibility he may, or may not, be ready for. Quin is invincible, but only in the physical sense.

It's been a long time since I've read a comic that brings about the feelings of nostalgia like this one. In some ways, Quin is comparable to Peter Parker, but he's not your run of the mill hero like Spider-Man. He's relevant and ultra relatable for the modern teen, not blessed with any power other than the inability to get hurt. He's not strong, he's not, well particularly amazing, and that's what makes him incredible. He's facing the same issues youth are facing today, and he's an example that really anyone can make a change for the better.

I'm thoroughly excited about this series and am looking forward to the future of this universe and Quin's growth as a character.

I enjoyed this but also found it a little lacking.
I think this volume does a nice job of setting the stage for an interesting series but it did feel a bit simple.
You get to know about the city and the social issues that are going on in the community. You also get a good sense of who this character is and why he wants to help.
I felt like some of the side characters could have been more fleshed out. I also wish I got a keener sense of where this story was going.
It's a decent start and I do think many people will enjoy it.

A solid superhero graphic novel with an interesting social economic undertone, great illustrations and a likeable main character...not amazing in a way I'm desperate for volume 2 but I would definitely continue reading it.

Overall: ✰✰✰✰ Characters: ✰✰✰ Plot: ✰✰✰✰ Art: ✰✰✰✰✰
In a New Orleans beaten down by hurricane katrina and a meteor shower, where everyone's presumed to be guilty unless proven innocent, Quin dreams of being a superhero. He doesn't have powers, but he's not defenseless either because he can't get hurt. This short graphic novel deals with some general teenager issues -like being in love with your friend or bullying- but also handles hard topics in a smooth and easy way -like police brutality, racism, prejudice and even censoring of opinions and information-.
This was the first time I read a graphic novel, and I highly recommend it if you haven't read a graphic novel yet. I only read it in a few hours, and found it was super easy to follow, and the superhero theme made everything even more interesting. The way it portrayed world issues was handled perfectly, and it even made me reconsider some things about our world, as well as it had some very quotable moments, all of them relevant to current world issues.
I'll definitely be looking forward to reading the next volumes.

I am not much of a comic guy. But I really enjoyed this one! The story was entertaining and the characters had one of the cutest relationship I've ever read. I can't wait for the second one!
The drawing style was typically comical and I especially liked Quin's father. Such a supportive character!
Free copy provided by Netgalley, thank you!

Quin is invulnerable. After a meteor hits his hometown, him and a few others gain powers.
I really enjoyed the art art style, however it reminded me a lot of marvel and especially Miles from the Spider-verse. It was a fun comic to read, as I've never seen a superhero with this power.
However, the villain was extremely underdeveloped, even for a first volume. I want to at least know his intentions. Also, the ending was very fast and the villain only being introduced in the final pages wasn't a well executed idea. Overall, the story was all very rushed for what could have been a well developed first volume: there could have been less superheroes, or at least less and more developed ones, like Glow; more development on Quin becoming a hero, and the villain.

To start off honestly, I am probably not the target demographic for this comic book. I enjoy superhero stories but don't seek them out especially. It was a decent read, but nothing special in my opinion. Quin was a likeable and relatable main character, but others didn't really stand out. I think graphic novels that are part of a series cannot be judged justly by themselves storywise. I would probably want to see how the story continues if I was more interested in superhero stories. As it is, it was a fine experience, but nothing world-changing.

I haven't read many graphic novels and this was the very first graphic novel that I have ever read. As a first experience, it was very fun to read; it was actually good entertainment with its stunning graphics and a perfect first storyline for a superhero who is still figuring out his powers and finding ways to make the world a better place. I wouldn't say if it's for teenagers or adults because after MCU and DC's hype, there's no difference in people's craze for superheroes and their stories.

Quincredible is a story about Quin and his struggles to make his powers useful to the world. He faced the same issues that Peter Parker and many superheroes faced when they discovered their powers. Being highly resistant to physical injury and having skin that's hard to penetrate, he's the most vulnerable. Just like Tony Stark helped Peter Parker, Glow guided Quin and helped him to deal with his conflicts, and that's what made this dual fun to read.

I can call it cliché in a way because this was really no different from what I have already watched and known. It has a mad tech-villain who wants to defeat all enhanced superheroes, antagonists with their big philosophical dialogues, the protagonist having a crush on a girl and she's being unaware of it, and superhero’s power was cool but was no different than Luke Cage. And still, I loved reading it.

Quin's bond with his parents and then some illustration beautifully captured some emotional moments. It's true that while reading usual novels the authors challenge the reader's imagination powers but reading graphic novels is just like surfing the flow of the story with no extra efforts than putting concentrated attention. In that matter, Quincredible is worth a read for its storyline and graphic presentation.

Really enjoyed this!! The art style is beautiful and I will definitely be looking out for.a physical copy to add to my collection! Im also going to add this to my February releases I am excited for video!

This was pretty underwhelming.
I didn’t care for the story and disliked the main character. His motivation for becoming a hero (although I wouldn’t actually consider him a superhero based on the actions shown in this comic) didn’t come across as genuine and felt selfish instead.
I’ll skip out on future volumes.

Quincredible is a phenomenal novel and I can't wait for vol.2, unlike a lot of books set in worlds of superheroes, Quincredible isn't afraid to shine a light on real-world problems that need change. I believe that many young readers will find themselves relating to the characters of Brittany and Quin and their desire to fix the world. The writing and graphics are amazing and I will definitely be recommending this to everyone I know!

Are you ready to meet Quin? He is not a normal teenager and his life is far from peaceful and ideal. He lives in the city of New Orleans where fights between cops and superheroes have put the community even more at a disadvantage. There are movements against the authorities, crime increases every day, the community seeks justice and it does not help that the city is a magnet for disasters.

Quin doesn't have it easy either. The girl he's interested in only sees him as a friend, he's a lonely person who does not fit in anywhere, and he is constantly hurt by bullies.
Worse still, Quin has superpowers! Since a meteor fell near him, Quin cannot be physically hurt by anything or anyone. He is invincible! But he doesn't know how to use his skill or if it's worth learning about.

When he gets into trouble and accidentally uses his powers to avoid getting hurt, he meets a local superhero named Glow, who encourages him to become a superhero and help out the community.
Now Quin must learn to be a good superhero, learn from his gift and hide from the bad guys. With the help of Glow and other superheroes he may be able to do it, but he must be careful because being a hero is not as easy as it sounds.

I'm not going to lie, the cover completely caught my eye. I mean, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! And very striking! The drawing is great, and the range of colors the author use just makes the action stand out.
I really enjoyed the reading very much, it was very interesting and fun.
Quin is a peculiar boy and in this first volume we can see how little by little he is learning to become a hero. He's clumsy, of course, but his intentions are very good and his ability only makes him even more interesting because the reality is that Quin must learn to use more than just his powers.

Watching him go from civilian to motivated superhero was really intriguing and interesting to me. Still, it sometimes seemed to me that things were happening too fast or that some very important characters were only briefly mentioned here and there. I would have loved for there to be a bit more depth to Glow and the other superheroes but for the first vol it was pretty cool!
I had so much fun reading and I'm already excited for the next part of the story!

El ARC de esta novela fue proporcionado por la editorial a través de NetGalley a cambio de una reseña honesta.

¿Están listos para conocer a Quin? Él no es un adolescente normal y su vida está lejos de ser pacífica e ideal. Él vive en la ciudad de Nueva Orleans donde las peleas entre policías y superhéroes han puesto a la comunidad aún más en desventaja. Hay movimientos en contra de las autoridades, el crimen aumenta cada día, la comunidad busca justicia y en nada ayuda que la ciudad sea un imán para los desastres.

Quin no la tiene fácil tampoco. La chica que le interesa sólo lo ve como un amigo, es una persona solitaria que no encaja en ningún lugar, y constantemente es lastimado por bravucones.
Peor aún, ¡Quin tiene superpoderes! Desde que un meteorito cayó cerca de él, Quin no puede ser lastimado físicamente por nada ni nadie. ¡Es invencible! Pero no sabe cómo usar sus habilidades o si vale la pena aprender sobre ellas.

Cuando se mete en problemas y accidentalmente usa sus poderes para no salir lastimado, conoce a un superheroe local llamado Glow, quien lo alienta a convertirse en superhéroe y ayudar a la comunidad.
Ahora Quin debe aprender a ser un buen superhéroe, a aprender de su don y ocultarse de los malos. Con la ayuda de Glow y otros superhéroe quizá pueda lograrlo, pero debe tener cuidado porque ser un héroe no es tan fácil como parece.

No voy a mentir, la portada me llamó por completo la atención. I mean, ES PRECIOSA! Y muy llamativa! El dibujo es estupendo, y la gama de colores que usan sólo hace resaltar más la acción.
En verdad disfruté muchísimo la lectura, fue muy interesante y divertida.
Quin es un chico peculiar y en este primer tomo podemos ver como va poco a poco aprendiendo a convertirse en un héroe. Es torpe, por supuesto, pero sus intenciones son muy buenas y su habilidad sólo lo hace aún más interesante porque la realidad es que Quin debe aprender a usar más que sólo sus poderes.

Verlo pasar de un civil a tener una motivación fue realmente intrigante e interesante para mí. Aún así, en ocasiones me parecía que las cosas estaban pasando muy rápido o que algunos personajes muy importantes sólo eran mencionados brevemente aquí y allá. Me habría encantado que hubiera un poco más de profundidad en Glow y en los otros superhéroes pero para ser el primer tomo, estuvo muy bien!
Me divertí demasiado leyendo y ya estoy emocionada por la siguiente parte de la historia!

I love superheroes, I have since I was a kid, and Quincredible is no exception. I picked this up without realizing that it was part of the Catalyst Prime universe, but figured out that it was connected to it pretty quickly. While you can tell that it's tied into the universe, it's definitely an easy introduction to it, and it didn't cause any problems with following what was going on, which I loved.

Quincredible follows Quin, a now invulnerable high school student, thanks to a freak meteor shower that occurred before the story begins. After meeting a known superhero, he decides to become one himself, and goes on a fun, action filled adventure.

This book really hit all of the traditional, new teen superhero trademarks without feeling overdone or repetitive. It's got high school pining, bullies, wanting to change the world but not really knowing how to, and trying to keep your powers a secret from your parents/guardians. It was most reminiscent of Spider-Man, but had elements that reminded me of Stephanie Brown, The Young Avengers and a bunch of others. In other words, it fits it's genre really well while still being original. Rodney Barnes did an excellent job with both the dialogue and plot, it felt natural while still keeping things moving forward, and taking a unique stance on how superheroes should be helping the community, including the members they put behind bars.

Selena Espiritu's art was great as well, the poses and motion the characters had was so good. Kelly Fitzpatrick's colors were ultimately what really tied everything together for me though. Quincredible had a lot of night scenes, and the colors for them worked so beautifully. There was always a way to highlight the focus of the darker panels by giving it more color, and the results were perfect. The brightness of the daytime scenes when Quin was somewhere safe, he was happy, or just reminiscing into a positive moment from his past was a great storytelling technique.

If you love superheroes, especially teen ones, this is definitely a book for you! I'd love to see a second volume of this, and want to see it get the attention it deserves.

Quin is not your average teenage boy. First, a flood came to his neighbourhood in New Orleans. Then, a meteor shower went over, leaving Quin with a superpower: invulnerability. So far, this talent has only been useful when being beaten up by bullies. But now, after escaping from a political rally that got violent, Quin's powers are discovered by one of the local vigilantes. Quin wishes to be like them, and after some time even gets to join them on a mission. Though he then realises not only his identity, but the safety of all the enhanced vigilantes is in danger.

This incredibly well-drawn comic talks about different ways you can use power, and if they actually make your community better or worse. Quin navigates in this world of systematic racism and police brutality, trying to find his identity while also trying to do the right thing. Though the comic talks about serious subjects like these, it is also a fun story of an introvert, smart dorky 14-year-old boy with a crush on a girl, having to clean his room. Quin is a fun and relatable main character I'd love to see more of in future volumes.

I'd like to thank Oni Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Quincredible vol.1 by Rodney Barnes, Selina Espiritu and Kelly Fitzpatrick is a teen Sci-Fi novel dealing with superheroes where Quin, a teenage boy finds her own identity as a part of the group to save New Orleans.

Overall the book was like just another teenage superhero story I felt. This was my first world by author and it's world building is the Catalyst Prime Universe. All the superheroes have unique powers and help him. The artwork is brilliant.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

I adore the cover, it intrigued me to know more about the story. The art is really good - it leans a bit more on the realistic side which is not my wheelhouse but I have to respect all the work that was clearly put into this fully colored graphic novel. It is closer to the american comic style in writing, there are longer conversations. After the first ten pages I was reminded of Black Lightning, as the key themes are similar: African-American neighbourhood, local activism, enhanced people who try to help their community by acting as vigilante superheros, and some conspiracy theories regarding the local natural disasters.

Content warnings
a bit of police brutality and violence, involved politics

Quin is a highschooler, he and his family have been through a lot these past years: a flood, then a meteor shower striking New Orleans. After the second, Quin was not the same. He developed superpowers that make him invincible: he cannot be hurt anymore. He only “tested” this with the local bullies so far who like to beat him up and steal his stuff sometimes. Even so, Quin deems this power useless, he would much prefer a cool looking and more active power. He admires local vigilantes like Noble and Glow who can fight bad guys by using their powers. He wishes he could also be a superhero but feels trapped in his life to do anything about it. He visits a local political rally which ends in a small riot, and as he is escaping from a cop he is saved by a superhero who incidentally learns of his power. They inspire Quin to use his power and make a difference in their community. Quin plans his first mission but things go wrong, and his identity is quickly jeopardized. He realizes it is not only him who is in danger, but all the enhanced vigilantes and he gets wrapped up with them as they try to save their neighbourhood.

I liked the fresh view, that Quin not only wanted to stop the bad guys from doing bad things, but he also wanted to make sure he can back up the people who might be criminals out of desperation, he wants to allow them to have a choice for an honest life. The supporting characters were enjoyable, especially the superhero Glow. This was a fun, quick read. Recommended to anyone who likes to read superhero stories.
