Handknit Heroes - Issue 1 - Review

Recently I received the first issue of a new comic series called Handknit Heroes.

First issue of knitting comic Handknit Heroes


That's right, they're cashing in on that prominent demographic of knitting comic readers (don't laugh, I actually know a few and am one myself).

The premise is simple enough - A quarterly superhero comic involving fiber arts in various ways, with a pattern at the end of the issue. The story is simple so far, about a trio of superpowered teenagers (twin siblings and the sister's best friend) and a mad(?) scientist mom. (Who knits. Naturelement.) Being the first issue, introducing the characters, there isn't much to say about the story so far other than it's intriguing and well enough written.
