Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s about time that superheroes did too. Plus-sized Faith Herbert is the title character of Faith: Hollywood and Vine. She might just be the most relatable superhero ever. Like many of her potential fans, she has a passion for popular culture. She grew up reading about superheroes in comic books. Now she has become one. With the powers of flight and a “telekinetic field”, Faith patrols the skies of Los Angeles as Zephyr. She has also created a new secret identity for herself as mild-mannered pop culture blogger, Summer Smith. Can she navigate the complex and complicated world of super-heroics and alien invaders, while keeping her positive outlook and sense of wonder intact? Spoiler alert: Yes, she can. Written with humor, heart, and hope by rising star, Jody Houser, with stunning artwork by Francis Portela (and “fantasy” pages by Marguerite Sauvage), Faith is a different kind of superhero mostly because she is a kind superhero. Kindness is an awesome super-power!
