This is such an intruiging concept that was executed so well with the vibrant art and the storyline. The first chapter has some emotional moemnts as Earth's gravity stops working and all hell breaks loose. We meet Willa's father, and Willa herself, an infant that grows up in the new low-gravity world.This comic has so much energy and Willa's dialogue is so manic, and sometimes a bit too much, that she makes everyone else seem so bland. There are so many directions this story could in and I can'y...

Didn't really know what to expect from this comic as it was just a random extra pick up I had this week (Because I try to grab any new #1's that catch my eye), and honestly it was kinda meh. It is set in a world that has a pretty interesting comic but the main character and her father just kinda came off as generic Disney Princess movie characters and because of that they and the book itself didn't really grab me. This isn't bad per say, but I won't be keeping up with it, at least for now.

2.5*This sounds like a nice concept, but I am unsure whether I will continue reading the series or not.

I really liked the art style but the MC irritated me to no end. And considering the ending, I am not too keen on continuing on with the series.

My first graphic novel! So it’s kinda hard to rate as I have nothing to compare it to. Maybe a 2.5. This isn’t my usual format or genre but gave it a go after a GN fan colleague recommended it to me. It’s def got a teen vibe and also superhero vibe even though there are no superheros. But with a dystopian world and a bad guy who’s rich and out for money and power at any cost it had that feel to it. The concept of living in a world w no gravity and all of the implications of that kept me entertai...

It's alright. There isn't much action in this volume but I'm hoping it'll build in the next volume. This volume focuses on world building quite a bit and getting to know who the characters are. A love interest was introduced already and a character was killed off. I wasn't a huge fan of Skyward but I do plan on reading the second installment in hopes it gets better.

Totally not at all my usual genre, but definitely an interesting concept and fun story, and honestly... I kinda want to know what happens next?

Skyways #1 (Joe Henderson, Lee Garbett, Antonio Fabela, Simon Bowland) takes a concept which should be apocalyptic and has fun with it: what if gravity suddenly stopped applying?Issue #1’s vibe is basically Mirror’s Edge (a flawed if vastly-underrated gem) turned literally upside-down. We follow Willa, a twenty-something Chicagoan who makes a living delivering supplies in a world(?) without gravity. The story skips right over the more horrifying aspects of the premise (like, presumably, the fact...

It was cute but it felt like something was missing from the storyline? Not sure if I’ll continue with the series. Favorite part: “do you know the story about the Japanese soldier who didn’t know World War II ? He kept fighting for twenty-nine years on a remote island. People tried to tell him the war was over. But he was unwilling to believe it. Unwilling to accept that the world had changed”

WOW🤩 This was an AMAZING comic/graphic novel!! I loved Willa’s character! It’s an amazing concept as well🌟 ugh now I really want to own this😂

That's one cool opening to a new series!With visuals as sharp & stylish and easy to follow as Saga's, Skyward kicks off a near-future on Earth in zero gravity, which throws most of the world into a pragmatic post-apocalyptic survival mode with FLYING and GIANT NEBULAS instead of rain and, of course, that one city of the rich and the famous that refuses to let go of the old, horizontal ways -- at great expense and with great privilege, of course. I wish the papa scientist would play a bigger role...

The following is a review of Skyward, Vol. 1: My Low-G Life, which contains the first five chapters, as it is difficult to review each individually.Skyward, Vol. 1: My Low-G Life is one of those graphic novels that shows how conflicted I am about graphic novels. Despite how much I wanted to love this one, there wasn’t quite enough depth to it for me to love it.Skyward is an interesting premise, one that had me curious to see how all the pieces come together. Although the story was interesting, a...

What a promising first issue! A lot of comic books should take some notes. This is what establishing a new universe and its characters should look like: efficient but not boring.

well developed world from the start

This is only the first issue, so there's a lot of room for the plot, characters, and illustration still to play out, but I really like this first issue. It introduces a terrifying concept (what if gravity, oh, I don't know, just ... went away one day?) and mixes it in with a coming-of-age narrative and the bike messenger archetype, which is kind of a thing in comics and pop culture right now, only without the bike. I mostly picked this up because A) I love Image as a publishing house and they al...

This issue is very brief, but gives you a decent sense that Willa is feisty and strong. I'm intrigued by the plot of the (view spoiler)[ dad knowing why gravity weakened on the earth and knowing how to fix it (hide spoiler)], and am intrigued to see how it impacts Willa. Will she travel the world? Will she stick around with her dad and practice flirting with Edison more? I'm definitely left wanting to know more and looking forward to Issue #2.

A very cool concept that is punctuated by vibrant, lively art that really shines in moments (particularly one part when Willa is high up in the air). The first part of this debut issue has some emotionally resonant moments as Earth's gravity ceases to work and all hell breaks loose. We are introduced to Willa's father, and Willa herself, an infant who seems to liven up right away in a low-gravity world.This comic is full of energy. Willa's dialogue is written with a near-manic energy, sometimes

Really curious to get the rest of this story, see what the world is like. Way more interested in the "world" than in the MC and her life at this point. This has been lying around my house for ages now and just got around to reading it. I do like it, do want to read the rest, but at the same time I'm not rushing out to get it.

The concept of gravity vanishing one day is both terrifying and really interesting. On the one hand, I'm pretty sure humanity at large would freak out. On the other hand, based on Skyward #1, there's a lot of development that's been made in the twenty years since, so humanity in this world isn't doing as badly as I would've imagined.This issue introduces us briefly to the main character, Willa, who's never known gravity since she was born shortly before it disappeared. Her father knows something...

One day, gravity on earth suddenly became a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality.The concept of this story is just amazing. Living in a world with such low gravity is both awesome and terrifying, and that is shown already in this short issue. I loved the little details, like kids being bound to their parents by leashes so they don't fly off into the sky. I'm excited to see what's next.(Points off for the fridged mother pretty early o...
