Amazing start, but disappointing ending. It was a little predictable but well told. The art fit the story well, too.

No sois víctimas. No estáis enfermos. Y sobretodo... No estáis solos.

Juvenile cuenta una de esas historias que siento que se han contado muchas veces con resultados similares. Distopía, secretos y rebelión en un marco juvenil con una presentación relativamente macarra sin excesos.

En cuestión de dibujo la línea discurre un camino similar, un dibujo correcto casi con intenciones de ser algo más pero que al final carece de lo más importante: personalidad.

En general juvenile cumple, echas cosa de una hora entretenido, aunque no va a ser algo que quede para el recuerdo. Al menos no para mí.

I would like to thank Image Comics and NetGalley for a free eARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I had a pretty good time reading this comic. I do think it is not doing anything new or exciting. It is the typical story of teenage rebellion in an post-apocalyptic setting, but it was done pretty okay. I think it is a little rushed (maybe even a lot rushed) but I feel that it is the kind of story that you can have a head-canon going on along-side the actual story. This could probably be developed a ton and made into something great for young adults but as it stands it is pretty good and that's not bad.

This was engaging with plenty of twists and turns. A group of young people are in a medical facility supposedly receiving treatment for a virus that will kill them if left untreated. But the reality is the virus doesn’t kill them, it gives them special powers. This then becomes a battle for the young people to become who they truly are and to escape the confines they have been placed in. Great artworks and an engaging story.
