review 1: Teenage life, superheroes, and technology. This makes an excellent combination, but what is most intriguing is its comments on the nature of speech within technology. Technology today allows us to say anything. We can spill out all the negative emotions and opinions in a place where it seems less personal. The thing is, there are consequences to this, and the "trolls", are people who get taken over by an entity called /me. The execution leaves much to be desired, the pacing is choppy, and it often jumps back and forth between two different scenes, which makes it difficult to follow either. Most of the art is done in black and white, but whenever the superhero parts and technology come in, purple is used to enhance these elements.
review 2: I'll keep my remarks ... moreon this book short as it, unfortunately, did nothing for me. I loved Larson's Mercury but found this to be incomparable. The story was a pleasant diversion and the art is enjoyable thus worth a few stars and the time it took to read. However, I just did not connect with the characters. Honestly, I found them boring. AC's superhero persona was so mysterious as to be baffling and nothing was really resolved in the book. It is quite apparent that the story plans to continue with a sequel. As to being for ages 12+, there is no content to make it so, simply the story is about highschoolers and really would not appeal to youngers (and in my case, olders). Best suited to big Hope Larson fans less
