The Clan Destine have lived among us for centuries, keeping themselves secret and hidden... that it until the twins Rory and Pandora decide that they should be using their powers to fight crime. Oh yeah, in addition to being centuries old in some cases, the Clan Destine also have superpowers.

I loved this series when it was first released in the mid 90s and I still love it now. It's such a clever take on the typical superhero book, taking it away from just your average group of superheroes trying to do good in the world and adding in the element of family and all that that implies. All the Clan Destine, with the exception of their father, Adam, are brothers and sisters, and just like any family, there are tensions that run high in the family between the siblings. Throw in a handful of other heroes from the Marvel Universe, and you've got a mixture that makes for some great reading.

Alan Davis' writing is perfect and his art is so fluid and emotive. I've been a huge fan of his for years, and he never disappoints with his art. He's one of those artists that I would buy something that he drew whether or not I know anything about the story.

So, if you're looking for a superhero book that's not quite your typical superhero book, give this a try. You'll find plenty of super-powered adventures, don't be mistaken, but you'll also find a clever, funny and witty take on a family trying to find their place amongst themselves in a world that is now as new to them as they are to it.
