adventurous emotional mysterious fast-paced

Loved the art & the character design & hoo boy, the premise of gravity changing on Earth & how society would evolve around that - EXCELLENT. Some of the pacing & breakneck twists left a little to be desired, but I had a great romp with this colorful sci-fi tale.

This was an amazing graphic novel. What a cool concept! And Willa, now she's the type of protagonist I love to read about. What's not to love here? A definite must read.

Skyward was a really great series :) I enjoyed the art and the storyline. I did have to ignore some of the incorrect science but meh it's a comic book.

Spoiler
I learned in school that insects were huge about 300 million years ago because there was an overabundance of oxygen ;)

The sky is falling! Well, actually it isn't, this isn't Chicken Little. Quite the opposite indeed: the Earth has lost its gravity and there is a struggle between those who profited from this fact and those who want to restore the planet as it once was.

This comic series lacks a bit of character development, and for some things it's quite predictable, but generally speaking it's an interesting reading on a topic that I think it was never explored before.

WARNINGS: violence, death, freaking big insects

I. Loved it. It was sweet and hopeful. A nice change for something that could be described as post-apocalyptic.

The artwork, especially the coloring, was amazing.

I wanted to like this book a lot more. The concept is very interesting and the art is beautiful, but the writing made it hard to follow and clunky.
