I really had a great time with this one. A fun twist on the super hero formula with a nice horror overlay. The main hero being a bully and having to rise above that inclination makes for a much more interesting main character than most superhero tales.

Rogue Sun is about Dylan Siegel inheriting his absent father's superhero identity. Every character in this book is a toxic in their own way, but has their own trauma as well. The series is a great balance of huge, emotional gut punches and little hits in the way they treat one another, especially with Dylan's father. This made the little victories Dylan has stay me when I put the book down.
The art is excellent, especially the character design. Dylan fights these magical monsters that feel like power ranger villains with 3 traits to define them. They're goofy, single minded and I love them. There's also greater mystery with a classic spooky cave and an unseen evil.
It can be frustrating for some to read. Characters will make the worst decision they could possibly make in that moment, but it's b/c of their flaws that they make these decisions.
Rogue Sun is heartbreaking, fascinating and an absolute must read.

Cool to see reluctant hero be actually reluctant. Some interesting enemies though the werewolf guy is a bit cheesy . Interesting family dynamics that add drama and distrust with some payoff. Ending was a bit predictable towards the hack half, but created a good moral dilemma. Excited to see he stuck to his guns, and willing to strike out on his own.
