The Adventures of Superhero Girl (Expanded Edition) Hardcover – Illustrated, June 27, 2017
by
Faith Erin Hicks
(Author)
Enhance your purchase
What if you can leap tall buildings and defeat alien monsters with your bare hands, but you buy your capes at secondhand stores and have a weakness for kittens? Cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks brings charming humor to the trials and tribulations of a young female superhero, battling monsters both supernatural and mundane in an all-too-ordinary world.
The expanded edition collects the original Eisner Award-winning comic, two new stories, and new art from creators including Tyler Crook, Ron Chan, Jake Wyatt, Paulina Ganucheau, and more!
The first collection won an Eisner Award (Best Publication for Kids) and has gone through 4 printings
"This charming modern vision of a Superhero Girl features a young woman living an uncertain life, unsure of the best way to contribute to society. It's superhero as person instead of as corporate symbol or fight machine. We see her struggling with relatable elements of daily life, like keeping her mother informed of how things are going or having to replace her cape after it shrunk in the laundry. One of the best strips has Superhero Girl explaining to a fan how she too can be a superhero without having a horrible tragedy in her past. This strip shines because it's fresh and lighthearted without wallowing in angst. Her arch-nemesis is a normal guy who keeps telling her she's doing it wrong. She struggles to balance her calling with a paying day job but keeps forgetting to take her mask off. Her annoying perfect brother Kevin shows her up, and she struggles with whether to stay hero or take the easier, villainous way to riches. The comic is perfectly suited to Hicks's expressive figures and energetic storytelling. The perfect laugh-filled tonic for heavier angst-filled superhero series." -Publishers Weekly

Great, but I want more...
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017
I think I'm late to the Superhero Girl party. Superhero Girl is a slacker superhero in a Canadian city with very little crime, overshadowed by her Superman like brother Kevin.
The Good: Skewers superhero comics in a fun way. The concept of Spectacle is hilarious.
The Bad: Those Canadian ninjas are badasses.
The Ugly: Like a lot of collections of one page comics, the book can feel somewhat clunky from page to page.
Received an advance copy from Dark Horse and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
