J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars
Developing superpowers during puberty instead of pubes and pimples would be so much classier. Except it would suck to be that kid who gets a really lame-o superpower, like the ability to tell time without a watch... But I guess that could come in really handy, like when you take off your watch to have a shower and then you want to know how long you've been showering for. You'd also be really good at doing countdowns. Which would be a really good party trick for new years. I take that back, that's actually a really good superpower.
I guess a lame superpower is any superpower that fails to impress and/or fetch you poonani (sp?). For sure, superpowers are the coolest things that Jesus invented to date. Moses must be super jealous.
Anyways, this amazing graphic novel, "Rising Stars", is about...meh...here's a quote, I'm tired of writing...
"Rising Stars is a 24-issue comic book limited series by J. Michael Straczynski about 113 people (called "Specials"), as they are born with special abilities following a mysterious light in the sky. The comic explores how a society may react to the introduction of superpowers, and how those Specials may react towards society and each other."Wikipedia Link
