About this book

From Peabody Award winner Rodney Barnes (Star Wars: The Mandalorian) and spectacular artist Selina Espiritu (Critical Role) comes the definitive edition of the adrenaline-racing superhero origin story that Kirkus Reviews calls “a fun fresh adventure”! Invulnerability is a pretty useless superpower if you've only got a one-hundred-pound frame to back it up.

That's what Quinton West's life became when he went from small-guy-who-got-beat-up to small-guy-who-can't-get-hurt after the meteor shower dubbed "The Event" gifted him the power of invulnerability—but no other powers to compliment it. However, there's more to Quin than meets the eye as he slowly realizes that he can utilize his quirky knack for creating Rube Goldberg–like devices to outsmart the bad guys! Rocketing out of the acclaimed Catalyst Prime universe, this volume collects Quincredible Vol. 1: Quest to be the Best and Quincredible Vol. 2: The Hero Within together in one double-sized softcover package for the first time!
