This graphic novel did not disappoint, delving into the supernatural alongside teenage angst and grief, as these Afro-Latinx family strategized to move forward against forces of destruction!

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this graphic novel. While the art is interesting and the character designs are good, the actual story is a bit of a mess and the characters irritating - especially the overly bratty kid!

Not for me - though I do like the art work!

That crunching sound you can hear is each and every world mythology (plus some tosh about the High Waveline, or something) colliding with the world of three black females, mother and two daughters, for the sake of the universe. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, all the recent Doctor Who regeneration SFX are dragged into things, just because. The book has huge problems, ranging from the annoying (the chief daughter is just a brat, and nobody here is even likeable), to the seriously awkward (the artwork doesn't let us tell the characters apart, and all the action scenes are badly directed) to the over-arching - namely, it's a huge helluva mess. Still, kudos for failing so dramatically and on such a scale. One and a half stars.

A strange graphic novel that doesn’t do a good job of explaining things. It goes from a quick intro about a human family moving to a new city straight into gods—particularly Death—and annihilation, with some Aztec warrior-looking creature as the bad guy, both powerful and psychologically slimy. But without any attempt at explaining, it lost me right away.
Thankfully it had plenty of funny moments. For instance, it’s not just looking at phones that causes car crashes; it’s trying to swipe them from your teenage daughter in the back seat too.
Best line: “We are trapped inside of a teenage girl.” Words no god ever wants to say.
Other winners: “I am quivering in irony.” And “Where the heck is my superhuman mom strength? I’m supposed to get braver and stronger when my child is missing!”
That is the least scary Death ever. Plushies of him would sell out.
The ending is so Wrath of Khan, but everything else is so confusing. Lots of color, plenty of humor, but I wish I hadn’t bothered trying to understand the story.

There are so many complex and nuanced graphic stories available that this one seemed lackluster. Just middling for me.

This was a really cute story and I loved the art, but I think the whole thing would have benefited from being a bit longer. Things moved a little bit too fast and right when I was getting into it then it was over! But I really liked the characters and there was a really cool blend of different mythologies and also mixing that with modern technology. It's a good quick read but it definitely made me wish there was more.

I jumped at the chance to review this book because I've been seeing a lot of images on tumblr and even on bleedingcool.com, which made mention of the comic a year ago. Okay first I would like to say that I think art style took some getting used to not in a it was horrible way just a I'm not used to reading books with this particular art style.

Once I did though I enjoyed the stellar characters the storyline was fun, although it jumped very quickly into the stereotype of the teenage girl and went heavy handed with that, I enjoyed the story. I think it's interesting to see a black family, especially that's mostly/all women, interact and deal with this issue of gods and goddesses imbuing themselves into the family and change their already semi-chaotic world. The design for the god killers were amazing and gorgeously done and unique especially in a story with already pretty unique looking characters. The only negatives that I have for this story so far are that it jumped into the daughter being tech heavy and being your stereotypical teenage girl and the quickness of change of character besides that I really loved where this story was going and hopefully we get a continuation of the series.

On the surface it looks like a ordinary superhero comic but this is so much more. Strong topics such as grief and love are covered in this comic.

This was an easy read, the art was good and the story interesting enough. It has an ending so you can read the entire story in one sitting without having to wait for another book. I'd say this is aimed at middle-grade children. It's a fantasy story where a family (a mom and her two daughters) from our world are transported to another dimension where they find themselves in the middle of a war between gods.

This is a fun graphic novel with a lot going for it. Loved the art style and the color scheme.
