In a world where everyone is extraordinary, it takes a totally normal kid to save the day. This new series breaks the mold with gorgeous black-and-white art on every page, and a cinematic, blockbuster feel. Every 12-year-old kid feels like they don't fit in sometimes -- but Noah takes it to a whole new level. When a meteor crashed to Earth on his seventh birthday, the whole planet got superpowers.....except for Noah. Thanks to his tin foil superhero costume, Noah's powers got deflected -- onto his little sister. He's literally the only normal person in all of Superworld. He can't fly. He can't scale tall buildings. He can't turn broccoli into candy. (And of course his little sister got double powers. Of course.) And still...when the biggest, baddest villian in town plots to take over Superworld forever, normal Noah and his supercharged best friends are the ones who just might save the day. Seriously.

After supervillains take over Superworld—ahem, Destructo World, it’s up to Noah, the only normal kid around, to save the day...again. Binge-read this mega-charged duology, with a movie-blockbuster feeling that keeps the art-filled pages flying. As the only normal person surrounded by superheroes, Noah never thought anything could be WORSE than Superworld. Well, turns out he was wrong. Because after everyone’s favorite superhero team did NOT succeed at saving the world, SUPERWORLD is now DESTRUCTO WORLD, and its new evil mega-dude is turning superheroes into super-powered bunnies and other cuddly creatures. Sure, it’s cute, but it’s not quite what Noah was imagining when he was trying to save the world. And Destructo has more evil up his metal-mech suit sleeve…so unless the Z team reunites for one more battle, it might just be game over....

Professor Stinger won’t stop droning on about wormholes. And no one is more villainous than my new neighbor Vic Turry. That guy is just so…NICE! Barf.
