Dreadnought: Britain,Germany and the Coming of the Great War

Product Information

Mutual respect among the characters, crucially combined with Daniels' respect for them, ensures that none serve as mere props for our protagonist, and readers will hope they each get their own book in the coming series. One day, while painting her toenails behind a supermarket, she finds herself in the middle of a fight between two superheroes and it ends quite badly for the good guy.

I won’t give this book one star because I found the relationship between Danny and her parents interesting and, from the reviews I have seen from people who transitionned, it seems like good representations. Dreadnought is a superhero story following Danielle Tozer, a transgirl who is given superpowers and her perfect body by the superhero Dreadnought.This scene happens at the beginning of the book and I think it sets the tone for how a lot of the superhero stuff is handled. So it turns out this review is from the perspective of a trans woman, even if I didn’t quite know it at the time. So long, florid descriptions of characters and scenes and battle sequences leave little impression on me.

In addition to giving Danny superpowers, the mantle also transforms her body so that it matches her internal gender identity. During the process of trying to decide who she wants to be, Danny enjoys having Calamity as a friend who knows about her transition and her superpowers and who accepts both. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed his mantle to her, and those secondhand superpowers transformed Danny’s body into what she’s always thought it should be. Danny has to find this villain and discover how she managed to kill the supposedly invincible Dreadnought, so Danny won’t be next on the hitlist. All this felt incredibly real to me, and relatable even though I've never had to fight for my own girlhood.Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement.
