I loved this so much. It is so enthralling and more emotional than I thought it would be. The MC who is disabled, the mystery of who killed him, the plot twists and turns (of which there were many), the gorgeous art style that balanced telling a story with art vs text vs letting us fill in the blanks, the fully realised characters that were so flawed and human (and their past with connection to the MC)... I could go on and on.
I'm heading towards book grief (which is a compliment!) as I feel sad closing this graphic novel. This feels too short for me for purely selfish reasons and nothing to do with the creation of this GN. I fell right into this world and I didn't want it to end. I would gladly read more stories in this world (massive understatement) but I think this is a one and done situation.
If you like flawed superheroes, disability representation, murder mysteries, rapid action that jumps off the page, deep and complicated relationships, and rugs being pulled from under you re: plot twists... You're in the right place. Read this. It is very much worth it.
A big thank you goes to Peter Warren, Image Comics, and Netgalley for providing this graphic novel for free in exchange for a review. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
