Reviews

[Hayley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not quite as good as the first issue, but still interesting.

[JW · Rating 4 out of 5]

People deal with grief in different ways. This issue reflects on the community’s grief. While some cry, others are left with the burning question of “Why?” Alea wants answers. What has happened makes no sense to her. She will find out the truth; her tenacity and the memory of her friend demands it.

If you enjoy reading comics, you should check out this YA Sci-fi mystery by image.

Still pretty interesting, even though there's almost no plot progression in this issue. Nicely shown how differently can young people deal with loss and grief. Still amazing art work.

This was very short but the story is interesting. I want to know what happened and want to know more about their world.
