I.D. is a short graphic novel about a futuristic body-replacement technology and three people who are considering utilizing it. One is a young trans man struggling with dysphoria, another is a middle-aged woman feeling held back by her aging body, and another is a large, muscular man whose identity as a criminal matched with his appearance makes it difficult to seek the peaceful life he desires. I felt like if this book had been clearer with its transitions and went deeper into the backstories, I would have gotten more out of it. The monochrome red-tint of the illustrations was hard on my eyes and I struggled to keep interest. It was a very interesting concept but the execution left something to be desired and ironically enough, did not feel secure in its identity as a graphic novel.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy. This cover is so stunning. I did enjoy this and will read more from Emma Rios

I.D. focuses, as the name already suggested, on a couple of central topics about identity in a futuristic world where people (at a price) have more possibility than today to do so.

Some of the questions posed by this were very interesting, but the overarching story couldn't really hold my interest as much. The artwork was okay but nothing special.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was an intriguing book with an interesting concept related to the vastness of the brain and its intricacies and the scientific aspect related to the interest in this magnificent creation by God. Quite an interesting read.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for this review copy.

I can't say that I didn't like this book but I at the same time I did not love it. What happens with this book is that I was expecting to have more context to completely understand it, I feel that somehow is an incomplete story. I get that is a story about three persons that want to change their identity, but I don't know exactly why. There are not so many details about the process of changing or why these has to be hidden from others. I needed a better world construction. I liked the story, but I feel that is one of those to have fun and a great time. Overall, the art is wonderful but it feels like an unfinished story.

To be honest, I couldn't even finish this book. With the entirety of the book published in red (line art and text), I found it almost impossible to read. I'm sure this would work for some people, but it definitely did -not- work for me.

Noa, Charlotte, and Mike want to undergo a new transplant surgery to get a new body. They meet in a cafe to talk about it, while terrorist attacks happen around them. Noa is a girl who believes she is a man inside. She wants to get a man's body. Charlotte is a middle-aged writer. She's curious about the transplant to a new body. Mike is researching the surgery, so he wants to try it to know what it's like, hands-on. The three of them go to a meeting about the procedure, where they learn about the process of having their brain removed from their own head and implanted into a new body. At the end of the story, they all have the surgery.

The stories of Noa, Charlotte, and Mike were moving. The three of them came together over a procedure, when they wouldn't normally have had any reason to know each other.
The idea of the procedure is also intriguing, because one thing that most people would want to change about themselves is their body. This was a great premise.

I loved the monochromatic art in this graphic novel. The graphic novel format was perfect for this kind of innovative topic because the modern comic art reflected the modern subject.

This was terrible. I really disliked this comic. Sorry!

I didn't review this book on my site. I found it hard to follow possibly because it was hard to read in digital format. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did.
