While this isn't part of the DC Zoom line, it probably should be, because this is a perfect middle grade story. Her father is a known criminal who once used Ashley to help him elude justice, and in his attempt to escape, a life was taken. Ashley Rayburn is an upbeat girl with a decidedly downbeat past. The back cover description says Ashley is 16, but within the story, she is in middle school. Primer introduces a brand-new superhero with a colorful array of superpowers to explore. The use of color is beautiful throughout the book, and not just when the art from Ashley is involved (although her graffiti works are dazzling!).ĭC rates this as a "graphic novel for kids". This story has a ton of funny moments, especially with the banter between Kitch and Ashley because they have nearly the same humor style. Ashley's experimentation with the body paints is fascinating, and there are so many combinations to try that no action sequence is ever the same. Ashley is a great lead character, and I sincerely wish all foster children would find a family as perfect for them as the Nolans are for Ashley.
