This week in the continuing saga of 'disappointing comics based off concepts from emo bands I love' is ...whatever this was supposed to be. I think my main problem with this - and I figured it would be like this even just from the description - is that the robot girl never really became more than a thing for these two guys to fight over. Yeah there were several scenes where they tried to get across the point that it's creepy to create a woman specifically to 'love' you and that they did such a good job that she is now basically her own 'person' and should be able to decide her own feelings ...but the whole thing was just really wishy-washy and never really got there as far as I'm concerned. Also at the end she
Spoilerends up with the guy that made her even after she gave this big speech about how she needs to do her own thing
so that was fairly disappointing. Also the last issue was just suuuper dialogue heavy and I was pretty much over it by that point so I was definitely annoyed by that even though that might just be me being petty.

The story line of this graphic novel is so well played out, because there is so much subtext that really makes the reader examine all that is put forth. In the subtext there are so many philosophical ideas and moral dilemmas that continue to bring you back for more. To try and make the reader see everything in a new light. Can love be created? Should it be? What's truly real? Can dreams be shared? Do memories truly have to be yours to change your life and beliefs? Does God exist or is he simply a manmade idea? How does the belief in God corrupt or redeem us?

There is so much put forth, and it truly wouldn't have as great of an impact if it wasn't for the utter brilliance of the artwork. Every line is brilliantly placed, every color drawing you into this futuristic world that is so messed up you simply feel like you are there living every experience.

I was truly impressed and would recommend this to anyone who will give it the intellectual and emotional time it deserves.

2.5
adventurous emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Worth reading, for me, for the connection with Fall Out Boy, but on the whole not terribly memorable.
