I received an ARC of this graphic novel through NetGalley in exchange for feedback.

Odessa is an action-adventure graphic novel centered on Ginny, a seventeen year old girl, and her two younger brothers as they travel across dystopian California in search of their mother. I really enjoyed the art style, especially the two tone coloring. The scenery gives the reader a great sense of the dystopian American landscape, although the exaggerated character designs of the brothers are a little distracting. The story drags a bit in the middle, but the action picks up again towards the end and I am interested in seeing how it continues in the next installment. Some of the plot points are predictable or feel unnecessary, which might have been remedied by making the book shorter. I think a lot of readers will connect with the sibling relationships in this novel and their longing to find the mother that abandoned them. Fans of anime such as Trigun and Cowboy Bebop would probably enjoy this book. I will most likely be ordering it for the Teen Graphic Novel collection at my library!
