Zoom Suit

    (Superverse, 2005–2006)
™ and ©2005 Superverse

13-year-old Myles thinks he’s just lucky when the perfect costume falls from the New York sky on Halloween night. Instead, it turns out that he’s found a top-secret alien technology, coveted by the government and anyone else who wants to rule the world. With this metal suit, he can run across water, fly, lift great weights, and more. Perfect material for trying out the super-hero role… as long as he gets home by curfew. Also an award-winning animated short, the story is brought to comic life with bright colors on the glossy pages.

From the Comics Buyer’s Guide:

Zoom Suit is one of those comics that you want to like before you even open the cover. The series has had a phenomenal promotional push, including an animated film, and, from the first page, it’s clear that every effort was given to make this book as strong as possible.

But it’s still a first effort, and not everything works perfectly on the first try. At times, the art looks as if two different people did it. And going the extra mile may have made the trip too far by using metallic ink that reflects light back into the reader’s eye. Printer’s tricks generally work best on covers, and interiors read easier with uncoated (or at least dull-gloss) paper.

Zoom Suit is the story of a boy who discovers an alien suit of armor on Halloween and uses it to impress his girlfriend. This first issue won’t surprise readers with a new take on the super-hero genre, but it’s still fun and an easy recommendation for reading pleasure.
