At least until the second issue at least. I'm surprised why this new launch isn't getting the press most of the recent Image launches are getting, but this book is good and worth it to try out. All, except for one who apparently likes him but our hero is just too emo right now. Our hero hasn't quite gotten over his recent breakkup and the it only became more apparent during his own surprise birthday party seeing all his friends hooking up. One can almost feel the loneliness Alex drip from the page. Luna and Vaughn crafts a realistic and emotional story. The reader won't know what Luna's version of this love doll is capable since the first issue ends with Alex activating Ada for the first time, and that is almost enough for me to pony up some electronic currency for issue two. In Japan, they've already started making lifelike dolls for such purposes. The story is about Alex and his robotic love surrogate Ada. Jonathan Luna collaborates with Sarah Vaughn in this new Image Comics series set in a very plausible near futuristic setting where a tech conglomerate (think Google) has embedded itself and its products quite securely into human living. It's kind of weird to see this book not billed as being done by The Luna Brothers. South by Southwest is an interactive, music and film festival in Austin, Texas and since Comixology has a major presence there this weekend, it gave some free books accessible to its subscribers as it launched some major initiatives.
