144 pages

Download provided by NetGalley. This book collects six episodes of the comic but does not conclude the story arc. The premise of a teen Syrian superhero who has lost his legs and uses a wheelchair comes out of a summit of US and Syrian youth with disabilities. The storyline stresses themes of cooperation and respect without seeming pedantic or losing its momentum. Of note is the importance of mutual effort to fight individual arrogance and temptation.

The panel flow is natural and quick, in part because the drawing is clean and directs the eye forward. Colors and inking are also good. I can't evaluate the print production of the hard copy. Available athttp://www.scribd.com/doc/54720383/Silver-Scorpion
