Fabulous, funny, sharply-written stories about four sibling superheroes (Alex, Julie, Jack and Katie) and their fantastic adventures. Includes frequent team-ups with adult groups like the Avengers, X-men or Fantastic Four. They’re out of continuity, so no familarity with larger canon is required.

Violence: Comic book style explosions and martial arts - no one is killed or permanently injured.
Sexualised violence: None whatsoever.
Gender: Katie and Julie are distinct characters with distinct interests - Julie likes fashion *and* science (and learns she doesn’t have to give up one to love the other); Katie likes dolls and thinks boys are icky.
Bechdel’s Law: Passes on all three counts.
Parents may wish to be aware: That these books are superb, and feature loving and realistic family interaction.
