'Area 510' by Jay Faerber with art by Justin Greenwood is a breathtaking graphic novel about a night in a young policemen's life that keeps getting worse.
When we meet Rookie officer Ward, he has just apprehended a burglary suspect named Lucinda. His older partner is droning on about things until he is suddenly, violently killed by an invading army of aliens. Soon Ward and Lucinda are on the run for their lives, but can they learn to trust each other?
This read at a quick pace and the art was just great. There are twists and turns galore in the story and I liked the two main characters. The book ends all too soon, leaving me wanting to know what happens next.

This graphic novel was amazing. The tale flowed quickly, and the action never slowed down. It was beautifully designed, with intriguing and complex characters. Everything is a mixture of crime and graphics. Even though I'm not a huge science fiction lover, I did like that portion. I wholeheartedly urge everyone who enjoys science fiction with a thriller element to read this book.

A very fast paced alien invasion story. Faerber wrote a narrow story amidst a very large alien invasion. The two main characters were well created. Ward the young cop and Lucinda the master thief create a great contrast as they conflict and try to survive the invaders. Justin Greenwood's art was dynamic and great to look at. The alien creatures had a very cool design and were a terrifying threat. I really enjoyed this quick read and recommend it to any sci-fi fans.
Thank you to #NetGalley, and #OniPress for the ARC of Area 510.

I actually really liked this. A fast read for anyone who just wants to read som action. I may have wanted the ending to be a little more complicated, but it was a pretty fun graphic novel, with aliens, action and unlikely friends.
Thanks for the e-arc!
