An alright and short read, but one i feel gets its point across well. Its easy to see yourself in the feelings of Philip, though parts of the story are a little abstract.

Certainly one of the most... Unique graphic novels ive ever read. Grotesque and surreal with an art style of early computers.

It wasn't really my cup of tea.

A good story sci-fi space traveling story about a salvage crew trying to survive in a world where the resources needed for faste than light jump-travel is about - that is, of course, unless the new artifact they found might allude to an old civilization being able to jump without the current resource.

While the story works alright by itself, it does have a bit of an open ending.

A story that lures you in the puncjes you in the stomach. The first half of the book is seemingly chill and seems very slice of life-like. Everything is cool, cute and calm - until we rigure out that Chris new friend dan has a personality disorder and seemingly out of nowhere commits suicide. The feelings portrayed about being (or being near) someone with mental disorder(s) and potential suicide attempts is well shown.

I wish the book had a bit better pacing over all, though can also see the artistic vision behind this coming seemingly out of nowhere, as it does in real life.

Another graphical novel from avery hill, in the style I've read quite a few books from them now: small stories taken from someone's life.

Phillips story is no different. The story feels both hopeful, happy, depressing and sad, with me feeling the words "yeah.... Yeah i get that feeling too" at the end. Life, love and expectations can be hard, and the novel expresses them well in an artstyle thats unique without being special. All in all a good read.
