Review: The Empty Vol. 1 by Jimmie Robinson

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very interesting graphic novel on the whole. The concept--a little sci-fi, a little post-apocalyptic--was good and made for a compelling read. I was invested in what was going on and wanted to keep reading to find out the mystery to this strange, seemingly alien world. I liked the character design for the different groups, it was just weird enough to make them look non-human but not too weird as to be unbelievable, and the artwork itself was good, just the right amounts of desolation and beauty. The theme of the book was interesting, especially with the twist at the end. With a little more work on the character development of the main characters, I think I would've really loved this book. But it was still an interesting story and I did enjoy it and wouldn't mind checking out a second volume to see where the story might go.
