Enjoyed this YA science fiction graphic novel quite a bit. The art is a bit too CGI for my tastes, but the story is quite cool. Would happily read more. Would give the book 7/10 if Goodreads allowed for such things.

Brilliant! I can't wait to find out what happens in the next issue.
Also, I suspect Jeffrey the fish has a deep, dark past too. Haha.

What a great graphic novel! Love the artwork, love the story, and the hint of what is to follow. Fantastic stuff!
