Ehh. I still enjoyed this story, the art style is great, I love that there's a disabled important character and the Dad clearly deals with PTSD. I saw some reviews mention worldbuilding loopholes, but honestly I didn't even notice those while reading, so it wasn't distracting. What did make me cringe is that Willa is about to get into trouble that she could have easily avoided if she bothered to ask her dad first. Still, overall a good story.
There was so much world-building in this but like it wasn't bad. Skyward #2 introduces us to "The Streets" which is ground-level Chicago where magnetized mboots allow rich people to live a semi-normal life again.Willa refers to The Steets as a city in denial and shows a good cultural point. Also there's giant ass bugs and I hate it so much. Okay this was half-assed but like reviewing comics is hard, all I can say is it was good and I enjoyed the story.
Willa's enthusiasm for the low-g life is what really makes this comic. Can't wait for more!
Skyward #2 does some extremely important world-building. In a world without gravity, Skyward #2 takes Willa to “The Streets” – ground-level Chicago where magnetized boots and walkways offer a semblance of life before G-Day.Willa refers to The Streets (which aesthetically looks like a cheerier take on the ‘neon dystopia’ vibe) as “an entire city in denial”, which sets up a good point of cultural friction. Those who prefer life in the sky (the “Uppers”) and those who try to stick to the ground cle...
But... If they have all those magnetic shoes and clothes (and apparently everything since their life's the same as before), why was there so many people killed during G-day? All those people's attitude makes it quite clear they've never lived in low-G, so they obviously managed to stay on the ground on that fateful day. And even if it were just a selected few who could afford the big bad's technology, surely Nathan would have known about this and should have made sure his family was equipped. It...
The reading equivalent of riding a junky wooden roller coaster. The plot jerks you around with no care for the craft of storytelling.
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...
3.5 stars. Not as good as the first one. The world building is cool but the characterization is eh. Gonna keep going.
Here comes the big baddie, gave me chills.
2'5*
İlk sayının üzerinden biraz zaman geçti, tam olarak hikâyeyi hatırlayamadım. Yine de içine aldı ve ilkinden daha keyifli geldi.
I am very much appreciating the complications of this gravity-less world, and my only complaint about this issue is that I wasn't ready for it to end and to wait another month for the next installment!
...the plot thickens, will keep on reading to see how the rest of the world deals with low-g
