Space Boy Volume 1 by Stephen McCranie

4.0

This was such a cute read. From traveling through space, to finding a new home on Earth (yes, it's all gone in reverse), to dealing with all the new technology, and nuances the world has to offer. And Amy is really something different, which i love... I mean, she sees the world in flavors! Yes, flavors, and I'm all for it. Then there is the boy with no flavor, whom no one really seems to have a name for. The only thing really known, is that he has a darkness surrounding him, an aura to avoid.

There was much of all that goodness in here, but sometimes it did seem to fall flat, like when it came to Amy's friendship from her her time on a mining colony out in space. I get it's her trying to move away from the pain of missing out thirty years, but somehow it didn't read like it on page. But, maybe all of that will be shown more in the next issues.

For a first in the series, it was pretty well done, along with the illustrations. Can't forget the technology, those net gear glasses are definitely a want. It's another interesting part of the story, what it all means, the process of seeing all with a direct link up, anywhere. What it all means for mankind. Can't wait to read more on all of that, plus Amy's growth, and more about the no name guy that has more to tell than just the darkness around him.
