LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- Actor and diabetes advocate, Austin Basis—known by fans for his work on Amazon Prime Video's 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and The CW's 'Beauty and the Beast'—is proud to announce, along with co-creators Dave Maulbeck and Josh Taub, that the long-awaited graphic novel incarnation of their tween superhero saga, written for 8-12 year olds, is now available for order online.

'The Kinetix and the Glowing Orb of Gorthon,' a 200-page adventure from the trio's production company, Team Kinetix, LLC, spotlights four middle schoolers with challenging disabilities and chronic illnesses who become a team of superheroes (called The Kinetix) tasked with saving their town.

Meet The Kinetix:

• Bobby Byers: a light-hearted jock with Type 1 Diabetes, his special insulin pump electrifies his body, turning him into the teenage super-cyborg, Cyabetes (modeled after Basis).
• Joules Joyner: a fierce guitar player born without legs, she becomes our team leader, Deadlift, with superhuman arm strength and a retractable silk scarf as her weapon of choice.
• Daryl Dennis: as an extremely talented artist with autism, his full potential is unleashed as Brainstorm, giving him the ability to project anything he can imagine into the earthly realm.
• Rosario Richtera: a wannabe Instagram influencer who is unable to hear or speak, she transforms into Aftershock, with a vibration force that lets her soar circles around the sinister.

Illustrated by Maulbeck, the story of 'The Kinetix and the Glowing Orb of Gorthon' finds our young characters living somewhat normal lives in their almost-too-quiet town of Zenith, U.S.A, where they attend F.D.R Middle School—named after former U.S. President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who also faced disability challenges, and has a super-secret past. Things turn serious when the group is forced to accept its fate as a team of superheroes and defend their home turf (and the world) from the evil forces of Gravitron – while also facing the trials and tribulations of middle-school awkwardness.
