J’ai beaucoup aimé ce premier tome. On rencontre Amy qui va devoir faire face à un nouvel environnement en allant vivre sur la terre. Elle va alors rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et apprendre à vivre avec les nouvelles technologies inconnues pour elle et ses parents.
Les dessins et les couleurs sont top j’aime beaucoup et je pense qu’on va approfondir pas mal de sujet pendant cette saga.

It was okay. It kinda reminded me of the show “Futurama” in that a girl is frozen and wakes up many years later, like how Fry does in “Futurama.”

While I really like the art and the concept I was a little disappointed by the plot, especially in the second half. I should have realized before starting this that it's part of a SERIES and therefore doesn't have a full plot with a conclusion and fully fleshed out conflicts and all that jazz.
That said, it was still enjoyable and I'll read the next volume if I find it in the library.

Really enjoyed! I thought the worldbuilding was fun and the style was pretty. It's not so much a contained story as it is a set up for future books, but it did it's job well. Intrigued to read vol 2!

This was such a cute read. From traveling through space, to finding a new home on Earth (yes, it's all gone in reverse), to dealing with all the new technology, and nuances the world has to offer. And Amy is really something different, which i love... I mean, she sees the world in flavors! Yes, flavors, and I'm all for it. Then there is the boy with no flavor, whom no one really seems to have a name for. The only thing really known, is that he has a darkness surrounding him, an aura to avoid.
There was much of all that goodness in here, but sometimes it did seem to fall flat, like when it came to Amy's friendship from her her time on a mining colony out in space. I get it's her trying to move away from the pain of missing out thirty years, but somehow it didn't read like it on page. But, maybe all of that will be shown more in the next issues.
For a first in the series, it was pretty well done, along with the illustrations. Can't forget the technology, those net gear glasses are definitely a want. It's another interesting part of the story, what it all means, the process of seeing all with a direct link up, anywhere. What it all means for mankind. Can't wait to read more on all of that, plus Amy's growth, and more about the no name guy that has more to tell than just the darkness around him.

Space Boy feels like a classic, long-lost 80s Japanese manga in color. It's easily one of my favorite books I've ever written and one of the best webcomics I have ever encountered. If there is anything I had to ding about it, the opening chapter is a poor teaser for the story to follow. The second chapter, however, is perfect.
We follow Amy, a 16 year old girl who lives on a distant mining colony owned by a corporation. She's been there her whole life and, when she suddenly has to leave, the consequences hit harder than the saddest scenes of Interstellar. She goes into cryo sleep for 30 years and takes a long road to adapting to Earth gravity and culture. The book still has such an infectious energy, optimism, and enthusiasm.

Super cute, I binged this entire series in a day. Wonderful characters and crazy twists, though we don’t see a lot of those in this volume (yet).

This was interesting and easy to read. I can't wait to read the second one to see where the story goes.
