May stories take time to develop. You stick with them at first because there is an interesting premise, and hope that persistence will pay off. Worm is not that story.

Worm did what a great story must. It pulled me in the from the first page and didn’t let go until I’d read through the entire archive overnight. It combines teen-age girl angst with super-heroism and makes it all work.

Taylor is a teenage girl who discovers that she has a super power: a kind of dorky-sounding power: the ability to control bugs. But she uses it so creatively that it winds up being credible for her to take down some very nasty super-villians.

Along the way she comes into contact with a wide variety of other super-folk, called "capes" – which is absolutely hilarious for anyone who remembers Edna Mode’s advice in The Incredibles. She finds badly needed friendship, faces death and serious injuries and makes some very unique choices.
