'Joyride, Volume 1' by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly is a whole lot of fun.
Uma Akkolyte misses the stars. She lives in a world that blocks them out to folks. She decides to steal a ship and head out to see them with her friend Dewydd, who is less adventurous. Along the way they find more companions, get in all kinds of trouble, and discover secrets about each other that threaten to tear their friendships apart.
The art is great. The color is amazing. The story moves fast, has incredible energy, and I love the characters. I kept thinking that the book needs a playlist and there is one you can play on Spotify while you read the book. I might have to reread it with the playlist.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from BOOM! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

2.5/5 - Unfortunately, this one did not really do it for me, and aside from a fun premise, it's almost entirely forgettable.

I liked this! It's a fun premise, and the writing and art are both really well done. Funnily enough, I didn't recall that I had read this, but as soon as I started reading, it was clear I'd read it before. Oh well, it's a good excuse to continue with the series.
