The ability to choose your powers adds an intellectual component to a fight that I am not sure all superheroes need to consider. You don’t want to be stuck with freezing powers only to realize you need to set something ablaze! And, if you are stuck with a power that does not seem right, you have to figure out how to make that power useful, anyway. It means the hero has to be creative and clever in order to select a combination that will be right for the job. I liked the idea of a hero having to choose her powers based on a given situation. The concept of Primer was the first thing to attract me to the book. And, for the most part, I was not disappointed. The possible combinations are seemingly endless! This fascinating summary, along with the cover art, convinced me that Primer would be a must-read graphic novel of 2020. The premise is undeniably cool: Ashley Rayburn can use a set of body paints to acquire up to three super powers of her choice. I have eagerly been anticipating the release of Primer, a new graphic novel from DC for middle grade readers.
