“Loves Elvis, Hates Bad Guys!”
This was a great start to a series that I'll be keeping my eye on. Deep is a great main characters and I love that he'd sweet, considerate but also a badass and totally on point with his good deeds. The characterisation was well explored through dialogue, action and the easy flow of how the character interacted with others.
I love that this is a positive and diverse exploration, showing that superheroes come in all shapes, sizes and religions. There are no limits, as long as the person has a good heart and does good deeds.
The graphics are incredible! There was some great humour and I loved the Princess Bride references. If the series keeps going like this, I'll be first in line for each new installment.
Brilliant start.

Not my typical read but I could not resist the title or cover! And glad I delved into this interesting superhero! Hopefully Issue 2 grows in its consciousness of decolonization.

I know this is just the introduction to this world but it was done so well, the illustrations and the use of colour were absolutely gorgeous and now I can't wait to read more from this. I started caring about the characters and about the story and there are so many important commentaries just in this one issue. I also love that is #ownvoices and it brings so many of the Sikh tradition, culture and identity to the page but also the prejudices, stereotyping, hate crimes and racism that they (and a lot of marginalised people as well from that last scene) have to endure. Seriously excited to continue with this!

I definitely need more of this than just one twenty-six page volume. More adventures of Super Sikh, please!
