I realize that I need to review this right now or it'll be in a perpetual state of "RTC" if I don't write it NOW.
Anyway, now that I finally did read this, I realized that I have not punished my self enough for the many months of postponing this fcking work of art. Personally, this is probably the best graphic novel I've read for the year, and that's saying something since I've gobbled up too many graphic novels in June and July.
Deadly Class is an unabashed ode to the teenage angst we all carry once in our life. But I'm warning you, it's not just a phase! This is more than just an unapologetic portrayal of violence and assassination etiquettes. This story resonates deeper on the ambiguity of our moral compasses and how we stay human in an inhumane world. Add up with the superb graphics that beautifully transitions every page with a different shade of monotones, it will surely be an instant favorite. The art style is so beautiful and I really love how the artists didn't just constrict themselves with the tradition panels. This was an oddly hypnotic and enjoyable ride and I'll definitely be reading the next volume sooner.
"Life tattoos us with damage as a reminder...it won't be visible when you awaken, but people who know what to look for will see it, other victims of the same needle. It takes time to see them. It takes time to see anyone's real damage. But your people will see the colors--like a flag--and they will call you home to them."This graphic novel has been recommended to me so many times yet I ignored it countless times as well. Forgive me people, but I just recently read this all because I saw that it now has a live action with Lana Condor playing in it.

There's an issue were Marcus was high on LSD and I really felt high as well with all the saturated colors and skewed graphics. It was so awesome!

Poorly written, unoriginal, and boring. Full of stereotypes and the only two female characters were solely there to serve as love interests for the mediocre male main character. No wonder it took me 5 months to slog through 160 pages. Won't be continuing the series.

i don’t know how to feel about this honestly. on one hand, i liked a lot about it. the story is really interesting, the art style and colors are really nice, and the characters for the most part were super engaging. but there was something about it that i just didn’t mesh with. i can’t completely put my finger on what exactly i didn’t like, there was just something about the whole tone of it that i didn’t love. i think i’ll pick up the next volume eventually, i have other things i want to read more.
