The following is a review of Skyward, Vol. 1: My Low-G Life, which contains the first five chapters, as it is difficult to review each individually.



Skyward, Vol. 1: My Low-G Life is one of those graphic novels that shows how conflicted I am about graphic novels. Despite how much I wanted to love this one, there wasn’t quite enough depth to it for me to love it.

Skyward is an interesting premise, one that had me curious to see how all the pieces come together. Although the story was interesting, although I wanted to know more about the world, there were too many things that weren’t quite developed enough for me. Thus, I was interested in the story but never invested. Things were a bit too cliched, which was part of the reason why I was so focused on the lack of depth. It’s possible the rest of the story goes deeper, but it wasn’t quite enough to convince me to keep reading.

As I’m very picky about my graphic novels, however, it’s likely this reflects my feelings and not the story itself.

This is a fantastic ending to what I’m hoping to be a really great series, the writings tolerable. I’d imagine it captures a wide audience. The themes and concepts and plots although typical of a super hero build are presented much better than many stories. Some of the emotional elements the characters try to get over are compelling enough. The sudden switch over a chronic fear had me somewhat confused. But maybe the writer will do a better job explaining in a bit. This is by far one of my top favorite comics. The artist does a great job to represent each new interaction that unfolds within their story telling.

Looks like the end of this arc, a cool, emotional set-up
