This first volume introduces Faith Herbert, a woman orphaned at a young age who has always wanted to do something great. Faith is a psionically gifted psiot, which basically\u00a0means that Faith can fly and has telekinetic powers. She&#8217;s a body positive plus-size superhero known as the Zephyr. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>Now Faith is striking out on her own, having broke up with her superhero boyfriend and her crime-fighting superhero group all at almost the same time. She has decided to take control of her life and live how she&#8217;s always wanted to be: in control of her own destiny. This means that Faith is working a day job as a reporter with a secret identity and a group of colleagues who have no idea that she is Faith Herbert\u00a0OR the Zephyr.<\/p>\n<p>Patrolling at night, Faith stumbles upon a conspiracy revolving around the disappearances of multiple psiots around the city. Her private and public lives come to a screeching collision at her work place, where Faith is forced to mesh her two worlds together and hope things work out. The missing psiots occupy Faith&#8217;s mind, leaving her to patrol more and ask questions. She uncovers a mysterious plot to use the psiots by aliens. Of course it&#8217;s aliens. This conspiracy is deeply-rooted in entertainment, politics, and regular societies. Faith uses her superhero savvy to save the world, but finds she may need help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith, Volume 1: Hollywood and Vine is a refreshing step back from the traditional female superhero tale.
