  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.5

Unlike so many comics and books that deal with the idea of AI, instead of focusing a struggle for rights or a future vastly changed by the presence of something “new,” this one focuses on a relationship, and the implications of things happening in the real world today. I don’t think I’ve encountered very many characters who carry off a guardedness that opens at just the right pace. Or the realistic idea that taking a risk with art isn’t always going to be colossally understood by a larger audience. The narrative and images had a light touch that really resounded, and days later I find myself thinking back to it.
