Mehso-so

Visually I had troubles with this because I really didn't enjoy the art style, and the nature of the main character (complex inner monologue/hyper intelligent thought processes, plus any dialogue happening between other characters) means a high concentration of text boxes fighting the art for space. 1/3

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 Plotwise it often went outrageous to ridiculous in scenarios and opponents, which had me vacillating between fully absorbed and rolling my eyes, but I really appreciate that it didn't shy away in terms of themes discussed, i.e.
Intersex/non-binary alien with tragically intolerant parents/society finding power through self-acceptance; woman establishing clear boundaries with a colleague over a business dinner, calling out sexual harrassment, shouldn't have to be part of professional interactions, but really glad to see positive example of such on the page.

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 As in Strange Adventures, I'm still not left with much sense of Holt/Terrific as a character, even with the addition of some key back story, but I'm still intrigued based on what I've seen. Here's hoping my library has other graphic novels by other artists with this character!

⚠️suicide attempt, mentions of slavery

Identifying strongly with Jamaal's relief at no longer having to head a meeting because a natural disaster interrupted the normal course of business. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Warrior turned gardener (except for a brief reversion to violence to stomp the evil shrimp aliens [Kryl = krill? 🦐] who imprisoned them). ☺️
