I really enjoyed this graphic novel! The artwork was amazing and the relation to real life events was great. Watching Quin's journey of finding himself is definitely something I'd continue on with in the future.
Loved this it's a great adventure comic book set in New Orleans after Katrina and a meteor shower which Quin got caught up in and is now indestructible. His efforts to understand what this means, to keep his family safe and to do the right thing, lead him into various adventures and dangerous situations. He is a familiar hero, bit nerdy, has a crush on a girl but with the twist of being Black as demonstrated when he explains as Audre Lorde once did that the masters tools can not dismantle the masters house. The story is nuanced, the characters are well developed (especially his parents) and I really enjoyed the adventure and the political messages subtly included. The drawing is also clean and sharp and good use of colours. Thoroughly enjoyable escapism.
With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This comic book is fascinating! I can't wait for the next volume. Found it inspiring, Quin believed there was nothing he could do until he had a chance meeting with an Enhanced hero and received some advice. Quin then believed he can make a difference and starts working on it to become a hero like the enhanced heroes he looks up to.
Set in New Orleans, Quincredible tells the story of Quin, a sophomore in High School who became physically invulnerable after a meteor shower that gave a lot of people in the city superpowers. His everyday life already isn't a walk in the park and he doesn't what to do with those powers until he realizes he could help people. But that's not so simple.
I really liked the setting and the main character. However, I found that most of the story was a little too rushed. Everything went to fast, I didn't have time to rest or appreciate the situation. Also, I had o concept of time while reading. Everything really just sped by and it felt way unrealistic. That's a thing that happens quite often for me when I read comics/graphic novels but still. I don't know, It was a little frustrating.
All in all, though, I really did like this one and I plan on reading whatever comes next.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel. The story arc was great, the art style worked really well with the storytelling, and the characters were really relatable. I loved the fact that it wasn't just your average run of the mill superhero graphic novel.
I loved the premise of this graphic novel. The art style was my favorite part. Full color, bold and vibrant.
Basically it's a story about Quin who goes on a journey of self discovery and exploring his new powers as a super hero. I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that this was part of an ongoing universe and some of the characters are already well established.
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!

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
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.

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.
