The series manages to blend that original "freaks as heroes" concept with the strangeness of Grant Morrison's beloved run on the series, and create something even more unusual - but very entertaining.
We find Larry Trainor and Cliff (Robotman) Steele on trial (sorta), with the future of Negative Man at stake, and Casey Brinke plots a bizarre escape as she learns more about her true nature.
(Of course, I'd like to know where Rita (Elastigirl) Farr is hiding.)
It's a rollicking, clever and unique adventure - and it feels like it's just warming up.
And we finally meet the first big bad guy for this opening story!
So far, I'm really enjoying this series - it respects the roots of the series and lays the groundwork for a bright future!
Grade: A-

I've found the other three Young Animal books incomprehensible or disgusting or both, but I'm holding on to Doom Patrol.

Hoy, I do like the Cave Carson book (though it's certainly grisly) - but yes, the other two haven't clicked for me so far.
