Burbank, CA: DC Comics, 2020
Ashley Rayburn has been bouncing around foster homes for the past several years, after her father got sent to prison. But now she's found a good fit with the Nolans, and has even made a friend at school. But trouble seems to follow her, and she finds a case full of body paints that grant superpowers to the wearer. Now she's trying to balance her alter-ego 'Primer' with her new 'normal' life, while the government and its soldiers are searching for the missing paint.
I absolutely loved this graphic novel! It was a quick read, less than an hour, but thoroughly engrossing. It's set in the DC universe, but you don't need to have any prior knowledge of it going in. As to be expected with the subject material, the artwork and colors are simply gorgeous. The characters are well-written, the humor is great, and the ending is set up for a sequel that I really hope will be coming out soon. Highly recommended to graphic novel and comic book fans.
