Drew is going to a new school and nervous about meeting new friends, but while he is drawing his comic about a superhero, another kid at the school sees it and reveals that he draws comics about a supervillain. Their comic characters jump into the same comic and adventure ensues.
This book is bright and energetic and has a clever concept. This has the potential to inspire young artists to make their own comics and even collaborate with friends. It was a little bit hard to jump between the story of the boys and the story they were creating, but I also liked that playfulness.
