About The Book

The lives of six teenagers changed forever when a high school shooting tore through the lives of everyone they know. Now ignited with strange super powers, they have a chance to become true agents of change in an America systemic with injustice.

Our world's DNA is changing. Unprecedented tectonic shifts. Spontaneous, radical changes in the ecosystem. Now Earth itself is pushing back. Random people worldwide are...changing. Transforming. Igniting with power.

Six superpowered kids have been working anonymously for social justice, but when they’re doxxed on live television, they become targets for the authorities and their families are hurled into danger! Fight the Power is the story of kids given the ability to affect real change in society—and the responsibilities that come along with it.

PRAISE FOR IGNITED VOL 1: TRIGGERED

"An impressive mix of diverse talents, in terms of experience and outlook, united by talent and the shared universe they’ll create together."

– THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"…new mythology in a restlessly relevant, trope-challenging, risk-taking manner.”

– DEADLINE

"If superhero comics have a responsibility to reflect our real world, then superhero comics featuring teenage characters have more to reckon with than ever before… Humanoids’ nascent superhero universe is confronting gun violence in schools head on with Ignited.”

– PASTE MAGAZINE

"Ignited #1 plants a flag for H1 Comics. It shows the line isn’t afraid to touch upon real world issues. It shows it’s not afraid to touch upon controversial issues and take a stand.”

– GRAPHIC POLICY

"...a satirical sensibility that is unexpected in a comics marketplace that sometimes feels dominated by overwrought and gritty gloom."

– COMICS BEAT
