Joyride, Volume 1
Joyride, Volume 1 | Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly
13 posts | 10 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Earth Sucks. Steal a Spaceship. Earth sucks. The stars have been blocked out for so long that people have forgotten there was anything else besides the World Government Alliance watching over them. Uma Akkolyte is a girl who shoots first, leaps before she looks, and is desperate for any means to leave her planet behind. And so she does. When Uma jacks an alien spaceship and punches through the stratosphere she sets forth on an adventure with an unlikely crew who are totally not ready for all the good, bad, and weird the universe will throw at them. From writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Batman and Robin Eternal, Grayson) and artist Marcus To (Nightwing, New Avengers), Joyride is a rebellious love letter to the sci-fi genre, exploring what happens when nothing stands between a group of teens and their freedom amongst the stars."

Ehhh. I found this a little hard to follow at times, but once it was over I understood the overall drift. I think I wanted it to be funnier.

I took a break from reading Shattered Pillars (cuz it‘s just as bad as the first one) to read something that actually caught my attention. Joyride is fun but definitely way to short. It‘s only 3 volumes (12 issues) and it started out fun and interesting but by the 3rd volume it felt rushed and then just ended. It‘s a fun quick read but don‘t expect a huge plot everything moved very quickly.

This comic was so much fun! A space adventure that begins with "grand theft spaceship." Lots of focus on friendship and being true to yourself in the midst of wild space adventures including aliens, robots, malignant mind-eating planets, and trying to evade the fascist regime that's taken over Earth and is now pursuing Uma and her friends.

Joyride is a fun romp with lots of lovely humor but not a lot of story. The characters are colourful, & interesting, and Kniivila's colours & To's illustrations reflect that really well. Lanzing and Kelly put together great personalities & crack good jokes, but seem to have a really hard time with the plot. As narratives go, this one is thread-bare. Which is a pity, it might have been a favorite if the story had been stronger. #30Comics39Days

If you're in the mood for escapism, hop onboard this grand theft spaceship adventure and get ready to suspend a great deal of disbelief. Main character Uma's giddy enthusiasm for all things alien is infectious, and I enjoyed this, but one volume is enough.

Unfortunately I found that this just really didn't make much sense at all 🙁
