"It takes money just to live, but nobody wants to die."
Dry Foot a quick, fun read (only 98 pages long). It’s set in Miami in the 1980s, in the *best” possible way. There were tons of great references- from Space Invaders to everyone in the squad keeping in touch on massive walkie-talkies, to an entire Raiders of the Lost Ark montage. The art style was fantastic, and it complemented the glamour and vice of 1980s Miami perfectly. I do wish this had been a little longer, and that the heist itself had been a bigger scene.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc.
I would be interested in continuing with this story and I hope that they put out more issues. This definitely could've been longer with the character development and the plot more flushed out. Other than the language and violence the plot struck me as very middle grade.

ARC Review: Received for free via NetGalley for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
CW/TW: drug use, child abandonment, child neglect, gun violence, blood, gang violence, gang crime, drug dealing, gang banging, kidnapping, crime
The art and colouring are amazing, the story itself is a little lacking. It's not bad, but I don't know, I expected more from it.

I received a free E-ARC of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The cover and the description drew me in but unfortunately this story wasn't all I hoped for. This is a story that relies on the strength of its characters but it failed to develop them beyond hints at vague tragic back stories paired with an underdeveloped villain. This accumulated in a rushed ending and it could probably benefited from being a longer story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors / Mad Cave Studios for the digital review copy of this graphic novel.
This coming-of-age tale follow four teenage friends in Miami during the 1980s, a tumultuous time full of gangs and danger. These Latix kids hatch a plot to steal enough money to escape their lives from the most dangerous gang around, Los Marielitos.
I enjoyed so much about this graphic novel, the art, the story, the characters, and the pace. It moves lightning fast, and even though I got sleepy while reading, I refused to go to bed until I finished. The epilogue felt a tad disjointed, like, I wanted to spend more time with them, but I understand the need for a quick and tidy wrap up to such a fast-paced story tumultuous story.
If you’re looking for a cool, adventurous and self-contained story between longer comic runs, this one’s out in March, so keep an eye out for it.

'Dry Foot' is a graphic novel set in Miami revolving around four teenagers.I got into the book having high expectations but it failed to live upto it. The book lacks nuance and the story isn't fleshed out. There might be a sequel to it considering the note on which the book ended. Having said that the illustrations were beautiful, no doubt. Overall 'Dry Foot' is a graphic novel with mediocre storyline but enticing illustrations.
