Spillover # 1 Published by Fanbase Press, written by Jordan Hart, art by Bruno Chiroleu, color by Jordan Hart, letter by Oceano Ransford, accompanied by an essay by Dr. Teresa Rojas. Meet George Gibson. An everyday man who aspires to be a writer. But his focus on writing the next great American novel is divided by some other aspect of his life that he is trying to keep others from knowing. One is that three years ago he was vulnerable to external harm for unknown reasons. Second, this same metamorphosis gives him type 1 diabetes, a treatable but invisible illness.
Superhero comics are not known for their dazzling works with disabilities. Often, if a hero is introduced with a disability, there is a story workaround that dramatically minimizes the impact on the character. Matt Murdock loses sight from toxic sludge, but now he can use echolocation to sense heat and magnetism, and what else to do to allow others to sense what others can’t. Do you know? By the end of it, Matt feels like he hasn’t lost anything. Rather, he often feels like he has replaced his old eyesight with a new model.
But what if you acquire a superpower and find out that they have a permanent disability? Are there any new gifts you find for your character that can’t be easily undone? Spillover # 1 Just start the story of such a character.
Spillover # 1 He spends a very long time highlighting the daily impact of George’s condition on his life. From his regular doctor visits to concerns about medical billing and the need to keep his emergency pen on him, this book tells how serious this part of George’s life changes has on him. Show the reader what you gave. But if you think this book looks like George’s life is nothing more than a painful pincushion and financial worries, it’s not.
The negative effects of his condition affect him, but George is doing good for him as well. His parents who love and support him, and he is in the process of writing his first novel. Hart’s writing does a great job of introducing the effects of George’s diabetes, but it doesn’t feel like its sole purpose is to defeat the character.
When an outside invincibility is revealed during a robbery that George accidentally encounters, he approaches the savior Salvadora, one of his world’s superheroes, and he immediately seeks to recruit him.
His biggest obstacle to accepting her offer is his concern about his diabetes, which is not related to his fear of himself, but rather to his fear of others. What if I lose my pen and need help during a mission? Can he risk endangering his teammates and innocent people at critical moments? Heart’s choice of letting George focus on the potential impact of his situation on others than himself gives the character a selfless and truly heroic glow. He’s like someone you want to be a superhero.
Equally great is Salvadora’s reaction to George’s feelings about becoming a superhero. Salvadra shows respect and support for his emotions and motivations, rather than putting pressure on him regardless of his concerns or dismissing his potential because of his condition.
How i love you Spillover # 1 Treat that character and assemble George’s situation. This wonderful piece comes with the cost of a story. This means that much of the drama the story might have was missing, as everyone around George is so supportive of him. This is not a bad thing. In particular, the quest and establishment of George’s life with disabilities seems to be the main point of this problem. Still, if you’re looking for a dramatic beginning to the story of a superhero, it makes the book a little hard to read.
The art of this book is simple but effective. The basic linework and panel layout root the story in the almost mundane world where George lives. The colors used throughout are in perfect harmony with the overall tone and mood of the book.
Lettering is the summarization of the visual representation of the story. Like art, lettering provides a clean and effective presentation that allows readers to follow the story without problems.
Last element of Spillover # 1 Closing essay by Dr. Teresa Rojas. In this essay, Dr. Rojas talks about life with type 2 diabetes and her hardships and successes while learning to manage the situation. This essay was very insightful to me as it revealed many details I didn’t know about treatments and life experiences to deal with diabetes.
When everything is said and done Spillover # 1 It provides an interesting look at the first steps in a psychic story about an individual with psychic powers and disabilities and how he finds a way to make both work in his life.
