When the xenoterran invasion began, the only ones who stood between us and the monstrous creatures were the superhumans. But while some chose to use this power for good, others had more sinister intentions. Kang Lim is a high school student with a secret - he's the vigilante superhero known as the White Cap, fighting back the mysterious monsters whenever he can. But the world he protects isn't what it seems -- there is more to the emergence of the xenoterran than meets the eye, and strange forces are at play in the shadows. (Source: WEBTOON)

Read the full take

The Superhuman Era opens on a world at the edge of invasion. When the monstrous xenoterran arrived, superhumans became humanity's only defence, and not all of them chose to use their powers for good. The premise is a clear superhero setup with a sinister undertone, and it gives the story a sense of scale from the outset.The series is most engaging when it balances the secret-identity drama with action. The full-colour fights have real scale, and the ensemble of powered characters gives the story a wide canvas. The hint of a larger mystery keeps curiosity alive.The weakness is that the violence can feel heavy, and the mystery threads take a while to pay off. Readers who enjoy superhero action with a dark, mysterious edge will find plenty to like. Those wanting a quicker sense of resolution may find the early chapters slow, though the premise is strong enough to hold attention.
