Since 2019, one of DC’s most successful endeavors has been its graphic novels targeted toward young adults and children. Branded initially as DC Ink and DC Zoom before being changed to simply “DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults” and “DC Graphic Novels for Kids,” these books have done what DC’s main line of comics has so often struggled to do, and found an entirely new audience of receptive readers. Among the most popular and successful of these titles are Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihuru, Diana: Princess of the Amazons by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale, and Victoria Ying, and the Teen Titans series of graphic novels, currently comprised of Raven, Beast Boy, Beast Boy Loves Raven, and Robin, all by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo. Like most of the titles in these lines, these books feature well-known and beloved DC heroes. However, there have also been a handful of brand-new characters to receive their own titles.Some of the more notable graphic novels to star original characters include Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero by E. Lockhart and Manuel Preitano, Anti/Hero by Kate Karyus Quinn, Demitria Lunetta, and Maca Gill, and Galaxy: The Prettiest Star by Jadzia Axelrod and Jess Taylor. While almost none of the graphic novels in these lines are canon to the mainstream comics (with Galaxy and the upcoming Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story being the only exceptions), various characters introduced in these stories have migrated to the primary continuity. Galaxy was always intended to be canon, and is now co-starring in Axelrod and Amancay Nahuelpan’s Hawkgirl. Whistle, meanwhile, made several appearances in Teen Titans Academy, and she wasn’t alone. Right by her side in those appearances was another new hero: Primer. Although this new character isn’t often discussed on social media, she has still managed to become DC’s biggest young hero.Primer: A Superhero Graphic Novel (by Jennifer Moro, Thomas Krajewski, and Gretel Lusky) was released in the summer of 2020. This DC Graphic Novel for Kids tells the story of Ashley Rayburn, a 12 year old girl trapped in the foster system who hides her trauma and pain behind a cheerful smile, upbeat attitude, and anti-social tendencies. After being taken in by her newest set of parents, Ashley discovers that her new mom is a military scientist. She then proceeds to steal and experiment with her newest invention, a collection of 33 special body paints. Ashley discovers that wearing each of these paints grants a different superpower and that she’s capable of wearing three at a time without hurting herself. Possessing a naturally good heart and a love for superheroes, she becomes one herself, taking on the name Primer.Related: DC’s New Generation of Heroes Has Arrived, and Fans Should Be STOKED
