Admittedly, many aspects of Brain Boy have been done before within the medium of comic book story-telling. However, there is something about the way each aspect has been pieced together with the rest of the book that makes it feel fresh and new.

If the rest of this series maintains the sensibilities present throughout #1 then this is a book to watch out for.
