review:
'Accell Volume 1: Home Schooling' by Joe Casey is part of the Lion Forge event series about a bunch of young folks that find themselves with powers. Unfortunately, imitation isn't always the sincerest form of flattery.

Daniel DosSantos moves pretty fast normally, but when fragments of a meteor hit Earth, he finds he has speed powers. When he uses them and runs through things, he gets beat up and broken bones, but it's ok because he has fast healing as well. He decides he needs to head to the desert to see just how fast he can run, and he finds himself running into a weird other dimension.

Whenever someone has super speed as a power (or any power that mirrors an existing one from a famous character), comparisons are inevitable. In my mind, this book falls short. I did like the kind of loopy art with it's exaggerated perspective and character dimensions. This was the most coherent of this series so far. I'll keep reading. I like the idea of this series and I'm hoping it will.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
