The team succeeded, but as a result of the explosion, David gained the ability of telekinesis, the means of moving matter with one's mind. David also lost his memories. Now, back on Earth, David is travelling throughout the world, taking on different identities and jobs, helping people while his powers grow. Fighting to stay alive and out of the reach of the Foresight Corporation and its CEO, Lorena Payan. Hoping to one day remember his life, his name, and the mysterious woman and young boy in his memory flashes. His wife and son. David's wife, Astrid Allen-Powell, has been receiving secret messages from an informant within Foresight, confirming David is alive and his movements. Astrid is now on a mission: to get her husband back. To put her family back together. Astrid Allen-Powell is much more than most people realise, and she will use every skill and weapon in her arsenal to get back the man she loves."

review


Noble is an enjoyable graphic novel following a potential superhero with powers to save many. 
It's nice to see a broad spectrum of characters within the story and the dialog and art are great to match. 
Having read the blurb though I actually learnt much more there than from the story itself so it is a little more subtle in a lot of the story arc.
Overall I enjoyed the story and would look forward to reading the second volume.
