Fantomah, Volume 1: Up From The Deep

Female lead ✓
Female lead that's a person of color ✓
Not Romance ✓

Slight spoilers ahead This graphic novel has everything I like in my story, a strong female lead that is a person of color who has an identity that isn't romantic. However, Paz doesn't really have her own identity either. She is just a vessel being used. Paz as a character just wants to find her sisters, everything revolves around her sisters. Here is what we learn about Paz. She is an older sister, she used to date a gang banger, and she is hardworking. She never undergoes a character arch or anything. She just gets possessed and along for the ride. The story isn't bad and the plot does progress well. The artwork isn't the greatest though.

.I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review..
