This was good. Made me angry, which is what it was supposed to do lol. Cared way more about Allison’s story than Richard’s.

 Okay, this was incredible (pun intended? lol)! I didn't have much expectations for this, only that I found the premise so interesting. Now I can say that I am pleasantly surprised!

Incredible Doom was simple, yet so poignant. It showed the magnificence of using computers and the internet for the first time. And it also highlighted how amazing and comforting it can be, as it helps in connecting people and forging unexpected friendships. It also featured queer characters, which I didn't expect! I loved that.

Anyone looking for a fast and yet moving read, this graphic novel is for you!

Thank you so much to Epic Reads/Harper Alley for sending over a finished copy! This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.

Full review on my blog soon!

I really enjoyed the art in this, and it's nods to the beginning stages of the internet. The art really fits the overall tone of the story, with its sort of dark undertone. There were times that I wanted a bit more character development, but this is a first volume, so maybe we'll get it with time. I'm not sure about its overall appeal to teens, but the cover might make them pick it up!
