''Primer'' is a 2020 Creator/DCComics graphic novel for kids. It is written by Jennifer Muro (''WebAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny'') and Thomas Krajewski, and illustrated by Gretel Lusky.

In Washington D.C., troublemaking daughter-of-a-criminal Ashley Rayburn seems to have found her most recent set of very temporary foster parents, Yuka and Kitch Nolan. Unlike the others, however, the family quickly comes together like the perfect picture. But when Ashley finds Yuka's secret collection of superpower-inducing bodypaint, trouble may be after ''her'' this time...



* TheCameo:
** Ashley mentions ComicBook/{{Batman}}, and Kitch has a Batman shirt. Ashley is also a fan of the Gotham Knights football team.



* OnlyFriend: Lucas is the only person Ashley seems to have befriended at her new school.
* SequelHook: The comic ends with the government approving of Primer's heroic career and giving her a supersuit, and Ashley's father recognizing Primer as Ashley, sinisterly vowing to see her again soon...

to:

* KidHero: Ashley is a middle-schooler, but also the heroic Primer.
* MythologyGag: [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's...]] [[SubvertedCatchphrase a falling plane!"]]
* OnlyFriend: Lucas Luke is the only person Ashley seems to have befriended at her new school.
* SequelHook: The comic ends with the government approving of Primer's heroic career and giving her a supersuit, and Ashley's father recognizing Primer as Ashley, sinisterly vowing to see her again soon... Not to mention Primer's still got ''plenty'' of other colors to show off.

Not to be confused with the film ''Film/{{Primer}}''.

!!Tropes in this comic include:
* AbusiveParent: Ashley's flashback shows she lived in poor conditions with a dad involved in crime. He had no problem getting her to help him kill a policeman and it's later shown he's been {{gaslighting}} her to believe he's the only one who can love her.
* BigNo: Young Ashley's reaction to her dad killing a cop with the gun she handed him.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: When she was younger, Ashley listened to her dad when he told her to give him his gun, not understanding what was happening. Only after he shot the cop he was struggling with did she realize what she had done.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Ashley lived in squalor conditions with her crook father. As a young obedient girl, she gave him his gun to kill a cop that he was fighting. He was eventually caught and sent to prison while Ashley was bounced from foster home to foster home.
* FreudianExcuse:
** Ashley's rebellious/mischievous attitude and knack for troublemaking comes from her DarkAndTroubledPast caused by listening to her father and butting heads with various foster families that ended up not wanting her.
** Ashley becomes paranoid that the Nolans may not want her, just like with her other foster parents.
* {{Gaslighting}}: When Ashley visits her dad in prison, he tries to get into her head that he's the only one who loves her and he's her real family. Evidently, this has been going on for a while, but after being taken in by the Nolans, Ashley finally tells him that he's not her family anymore and she won't see him anymore.
* OnlyFriend: Lucas is the only person Ashley seems to have befriended at her new school.
* SequelHook: The comic ends with the government approving of Primer's heroic career and giving her a supersuit, and Ashley's father recognizing Primer as Ashley, sinisterly vowing to see her again soon...
* ShoutOut:
** Ashley and Lucas's school is Angelou Middle School, presumably named for Creator/MayaAngelou.
** A young girl thinks the new Primer is [[Franchise/MyLittlePony Rainbow]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Dash]].
* YouAreNotMySon: After being lovingly taken in by the Nolans, Ashley finally stands up to her biological father, saying that as much as he may claim otherwise, he isn't her "real family" anymore and she wants nothing to do with him.
