While this first volume is more setup than payoff, the suspense is undeniable, and readers of series like “Attack on Titan” will have a good time embracing this manga’s eccentricities.
The sci-fi setting creates high stakes for this realistic story of a tween ready for adventure, navigating her relationships with separated parents. Highly recommended; give to fans of Molly Brooks’s “Sanity & Tallulah.”
As an original superhero satire, this might have had some appeal, but for fans of these well-known characters, it lacks sufficient charisma, conceptual cohesion, or fresh commentary on the source material.
