Maya is a comic book artist and she is not doing that great. She is on a verge of burnout and just wishes she could do her own thing. And then she meets Soma - an alien that wants to save the world from its own species. Here starts an adventure of badassery and sacrifice.
I really enjoyed the art. I fully did not connect with the characters but I did fall in love with Soma. The story itself was ok, it felt a bit disjointed in some places and it feels like the whole story should have been longer. It would work great as an animation tho.
A quick read considering it's 288 pages.
