Inspired by the author's own childhood, this contemporary graphic novel paints a picture of an aspiring young artist on a mission to prove that the arts are worth fighting for.

Twelve-year-old Pax Samson, a brown-skinned child with telekinetic powers, decides between his chef aspirations and the family business, which is that of being superheroes. Pax is known in his family for being a great cook, and supplying copious amounts of Dragon Noodle Soup for family cookouts. But the planet of Soltellus knows him as "the offspring of the great hero of the Tri-City revolution."
