Welcome to Litsy!

Fun story. The characters felt pretty flat and, well, cartoonish—especially the villain. I thought everything came too easily to the main character. The idea of body paints that confer superpowers is very cool.

The art is incredibly fluid and vibrant. I felt like I was watching a really well-animated movie (Lilo and Stitch came to mind) instead of reading a book at times!

A total blast! 13-year-old Ashley Rayburn finds experimental “warpaint“ created from superhero DNA that gives its wearer superpowers. While a little narrow in scope, a good story is told and this character has a lot of potential for future adventures. I loved the color and the humor. Not sure why the artist changed during the second book; Nicoletta's work isn't bad, but Lusky's art is just really good!

Aww - I love this bonding moment between Ashley and her new foster dad (who is absolutely a kindred spirit). #LetsGetGraphic

I finished Primer! This is a really fun YA superhero graphic novel involving foster family, superpower-inducing skin paints, and skeevy government military science projects.

Library haul!

On my hook : the start of the yoke for an Alma Sweater. Blue yarn is Malabrigo Sock in Matisse; multi yarn in Hobbii Dream Colour in Unicorn. Yes, it's supposed to be curling like that at this stage.

My first book of November was my #doublespin pick. I happened to start it last night when I couldn‘t sleep. I‘m glad I finally got around to reading this. It‘s a truly charming testament to girl power, parental love and artistic expression. @TheAromaofBooks

This was a fun middle grade superhero adventure. Ashley has finally clicked with her latest foster family. But she accidentally gives herself super powers & gets mixed up in something sinister.
I liked the story & the characters. I only wish they explained earlier that superheroes were already a thing in her city because I was confused when she showed up and no one was surprised by her powers lol. But I guess that's to be expected from a DC comic

Super cute kids comic! Can't wait for more!

Uh what part of DC were they hanging out in? Just lots of people in business clothes usually.

Ha. Love this!

This was a quick, cute read. Ashley is placed with a new foster family, and is caught by her foster father spray painting graffiti in the park. A fellow artist, he encourages her ability instead of punishing her. Meanwhile, Ashley‘s foster mom is working on a top secret government project, that Ashley discovers, mistaking for “special” paints. Great for elementary readers.

I wanted to fall completely in love with this middle grade graphic novel that introduces a new superhero, but it didn't quite make a pick.

The artwork is gorgeous, kid-friendly, bright, and so much fun. Having the main character be a foster kid was a great concept too, but I just felt like something was missing.

Young girls will probably really like this one. I hope there are more additions to this series so that the street can develop more.

I loved this. It was adorable.

Most are greeted with "good morning" instead I get "I finished another book while you were sleeping, Mom."

Kid, don't ever change.

Yes! I love everything about Ashley/Primer! Creative, funny, broken back story, smart, overcomer. Gah! I literally sighed on the last page, as the story eludes to a continuation. I couldn't be happier, because I'm officially a Primer fangirl!
