Image Comics Inferno Girl Red, Volume 1: A Massive-Verse Book
Book SynopsisApex City is a globally-recognised hub of progress and beacon of hope - until it's ripped out of our universe by an ancient cult and its army of demons. The only one who can save it is its newest resident, teen Cássia Costa, after a magical dragon bracelet rockets into her life - but the bracelet is powered by belief, and a life of hardship has left Cássia with little of that to spare.Inferno Girl Red is a series in the Massive-Verse.WHAT IS THE MASSIVE-VERSE?Kyle Higgins & Marcelo Costa's breakout hit Radiant Black took superhero storytelling to new heights. But Radiant Black isn't the only character inhabiting the MASSIVE-VERSE. There's a whole universe for readers to explore! Characters like Rogue Sun, Inferno Girl Red, The Dead Lucky and more yet to be revealed each of them has a different story to tell, different adversaries to face and they each occupy a very different corner of this shared universe. What are you waiting for? Now's the time to get into the MASSIVE-VERSE!Trade Review"Groom’s take on superhero tropes is abundantly fun and over-the-top exciting, with an inclusive, predominantly female cast that refreshingly eschews the unrealistically buxom, wasp-waisted representation widely found in mainstream comics. Panels are punctuated with dazzling, psychedelically hued scenes, nearly blazing the action off the page. A nail-biting cliffhanger ensures that readers will anxiously await more of Cássia’s adventures. Harriette has brown skin and lavender locs; Ana and Cássia have light-brown skin, and Cássia appears to have vitiligo. This series opener is on fire." —Kirkus Reviews

What could go wrong? Enlisting their friends Beto Moreno and Nara Jenkins—respectively, an aspiring magician and a medal-winning wrestler—to help, fledgling secret super sibs Adeline and Wyatt Flynn enroll at Camp Igneous, conveniently situated at the base of the volcano where their mom might have disappeared four years before. Along with pursuing an investigation, though, the team faces serious competition vying for the titular cup in a series of mentally and physically demanding obstacle courses and other challenges, all while keeping their special powers hidden. The art’s bright colors, overlapping panels, and expressively posed cartoon figures ramp up the pacing and visual energy for a plot that features a series of suspenseful contests capped by encounters with “radioactive goop” and other surprises in the volcano’s crater and hints of a connection between the missing parent and a clandestine group of bad actors called the Quadrant. Stay tuned. Gapstur builds preteen banter, team building, frustrated romance, and even a nearly catastrophic eruption that tests the superkids’ abilities to the utmost into this lively sequel. Wyatt and Adeline are White; the supporting cast includes racial diversity. Triumphs, mishaps, and revelations kick this adventure into high gear. (Graphic adventure. 8-12) -- Kirkus * 5/1/23 *
