I really liked the characters and the concept, but I felt like the plot got a little rushed toward the end. I guess I just wanted more.

This book has some really great art. All of the visuals were really stunning.

However, the story seems very sparse. You don’t really get to know any of the characters very well. Sometimes I was unsure which character was talking because there was no character trait that was really differentiating them.

The world they live in seems really interesting and cool. What is Azoth, the program everyone talks about? That question will not be answered. It’s maybe a VR/AR?

There will be a lot of questions that just aren’t answered. And, maybe they will be in future volumes, but I needed a few more from this book.

The story was interesting enough on its own with a fun mix of cyber punk craziness, monsters, and magic. But what made the books for me was Robb Rodriguez’s art and Rico Renzi’s colors just beautiful work every issue.

I keep wanting to enjoy cyberpunk stories and I have the same issue that I have with steampunk-- either I'm too distracted by the technology to understand the plot or too distracted by the plot to understand the technology. My brain can't seem to make them mesh. So I didn't quite follow the whole story, but the art is great and the colors are absolutely gorgeous, so I liked it anyway.

A very cool dystopian look at the future.

Goddess Mode deserves a dozen more issues, at least. Zoë Quinn‘s comics debut is a fast-paced, high-stakes, cyberpunk world starring a cast of characters so unique that they all but leap off the page. Paired with art by Robbi Rodriguez and colors by Rico Renzi, this fluorescent-drenched world is one for the ages.

Magical-girl cyberpunk! Too wordy, too online, and sometimes hard-to-parse, but it makes it work with stunning art and a good message.
