Lettered throughout by Wes Abbott, the wonderment first unfolds in ‘Primary Colors’ as a crashing airliner is plucked from the sky over Washington DC. Primer is her first comics project and augurs a long and fruitful career ahead as the artist seems able to effortlessly mix drama, pathos, spectacular action and sheer glee for maximum impact. Making the pictures sparkle and shine is 2-D visual developer, animation/games character designer and jobbing illustrator Gretel Lusky. Written by animation scripters Jennifer Muro ( Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina Spider-Man Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Justice League Action Lego DC Super Hero Girls) & Thomas Krajewski ( Buddy Thunderstruck Fairly OddParents Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? Penguins of Madagascar Looney Tunes Iron Man Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) this origin adventure crackles with pace and thrills whilst basking in superbly effective dialogue and sharp one-liners. One such triumph is Primer, which taps into the communal history and mystique of the DCU to introduce a sparkling new character who encapsulates every aspect of youthful rebellion channelled into doing good in the traditional cape and cowl manner… However, when they’re good, they are very good indeed. They’ve been especially scrupulous producing material catering to girls and other previously neglected comics minorities, and to date results have been rather hit or miss. In recent years DC opened up its interlinked superhero multiverse to generate Original Graphic Novels featuring its stars and new characters in stand-alone(ish) adventures for the demographic clumsily dubbed Young Adult. By Jennifer Muro & Thomas Krajewski, illustrated by Gretel Lusky (DC Comics)
