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.
