The Incredibles: Revenge from Below by Mark Waid

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When Dash disobeys orders during a battle and attacks the supervillain rather than getting his sister to safety, he is grounded with his mom giving him an injection that suspends his powers. However, Dash may need them as it appears his teacher is an alien.

This book is a fun-filled action story as usual, but also has a really good focus on Dash and him as a character and as a hero. Co-Writer Mark Waid, who had a legendary run as the writer of DC's Flash is able to channel that experience to capture a few Speedster-specific concerns as well as plot ideas. Also, the writing for Edna Mode is perfect.

If I had one concern, it is that Bob and Helen's behavior is unpleasantly out of character, particularly in the first quarter of the book and this could turn the younger readers the book is targetted too off. Still, this explained as adequately, as are most of the other seeming plotholes in this story.

Overall, this is a solid book that focuses on the most underwritten character in the Parr family and does him justice. This makes it worth checking out.
