We all know that Corporate Espionage is a thing, trying to steal industry secrets and what not. But in "The Spy Who Raised Me" this is taken to James Bond level.
This felt like stepping into my childhood once again, sitting way to close to the TV, as I watch transfixed by the show on it's screen.
I want to share it with every person I know, because it felt so nostalgic to enjoy something so completely.

Action packed graphic novel about a teenager who discovers her mother turned her into a sleeper agent for a nefarious [SPOILER]. I'll be interested to see if this becomes a series or a surprising one-shot.

I found this an enjoyable read. Fairly subdued colour tones and basic artwork but a few fun in jokes and decent plot. I found the end came round a little too swiftly and I didn't really want to buy into it so it wasn't what it could have been but I guess it leaves scope for a follow up! I would read it if there was...!

This was a very quick, very fun read! The Spy Who Raised Me is action-packed and fast-paced. I read it in one short sitting and really enjoyed it. There were some plot twists in the midst of the funny codewords and sincere messages about being yourself. I'm glad I picked this up and would definitely read more from this author!

Josie Black, J.B., is a normal teenager with a normal mom and dad, or so she thinks. Her mom actually works as a spy for The Company, a soda company with alternative motives. She has allowed The Company to program J.B. to be the ultimate spy without her knowledge or consent. When she finds out what her mother has done, J.B. runs away and tries to take down The Company.
