This had me ALL THE WAY in my feelings!
This is the story of Clem and Kye. Clem just moved to Mars to study AI under the person who created Kye. There is absolutely a friendship and romance story in this, but it's much more than that. This story is about dealing with trauma and getting out of abusive relationships, about realizing your own humanity. The story is also about community in so many ways. There's the need for connection, the issues that loneliness creates, and how community care can actually work.
I read this with 3 other graphic novels in the same day and, while they were all incredible in their own ways, this one just really got to me. It was my favorite of the day (and a contender for my favorite graphic novel of the year).
