I liked the first three issues but the last two were reductive and didactic. Fun, some great lines, but not great overall.
Warning; I'm a huge Max Bemis fan. I love Max Bemis. I've been listening to his music for over 10 years now, Im a huge fan of his wife, I've been following both for some time so when Max said he was getting into comics, I was pretty excited! He has worked with marvel a hand full of times, but Lucy dreaming was a all new, all original series. And I liked it! The art was really good, I really liked the hero tropes they had picked and how they approached them. It has a sweet and positive message. I...
Some pieces of stupid romance between thirteen year olds and proving, that men are stupid, violent and you shouldn't think with your head, but heart. So, a bad commentary on patriarchy?
This started out so good, then it threw a bunch of science stuff in there and kinda lost me. The story started getting some depth and then lots of events happened too fast. I know it doesn't sound like it, but I did like this story. This spoke to the age old teen problem of feeling all the feels and not knowing what the hell to do about it.
A by-the-numbers sci-fi romp for the first three issues and a highly awkward attempt at wokeness for the last two. I'd probably dislike this even more if it wasn't for the lovely art and a genuinely fun protagonist.
Started out grounded and interesting.. ended up as a wild incoherent mess.
Lucy Dreaming is tasting new fruits.
Completely average
Not bad. Fun. Good artwork.I don't normally like meta, self-indulgent wish-fulfillment stories. I'd rather read a story that makes me want to disappear into it versus a story about a character who disappears into a story. That extra layer of fiction just reminds me of how impossible my fantasy really is.That said, this book had the right balance of over-the-top nonsense and tongue-in-cheek metaphor. It didn't take itself too seriously.Our protagonist Lucy is an awkward teenager who would rather
It had so much appeal to be a good series, however, the confusing storytelling and the lackluster animation caused this graphic novel to fall flat on it's face. And also the "feminist" ideals felt more like a plug and to make the book more relevant than actually providing sustenance to the plot.
This was a fun, creative little graphic novel that I read as a palate cleanser between heavier books. It was a bit sci-fi adventure-ish and a little coming of age-type and it never took itself too seriously, so it was light-hearted and fun. I suspect there were a lot of teen culture references that flew straight over my head, but that was fine.Our leading character is Lucy, a grumpy, emotive, 13-year-old who is less of a leading lady and more of a leading grrrl. She comes from a non traditional

Found out Max Bemis, one of my favorite musicians was writing comics, so wanted to check it out. The art isn't terrible which is a good start! There were some okay points and I wish it had been fleshed out a bit more. More time spent in the different areas and such. The ending was quite rushed, I could see it working for a younger reader than myself.
Lucy, the titular character is a sullen, anarchic 13 year old who seems largely disillusioned with the people and world around her, preferring the company of the characters from her YA books. Suddenly she discovers when sleeping she can awake in the body of an archetypal female hero from the world of fiction. Several popular properties are riffed on here including Star Wars, Buffy, Hunger Games and comic book superheroes. She soon discovers she is not the only person to have this ability and the...
Wow, this is extremely bad! I’m sure the pitch for this series was fantastic, but it is one of the worst executed concepts I’ve ever read. It’s basically Unwritten, but condensed into five issues of straight exposition and mashed into a reductive moral box. This is the furthest thing from subtle I’ve ever seen. And before anyone says, “well clearly you just don’t get it,” I get it. It’s literally impossible not to get. It’s spelled out in big block letters. Gotten. Very not good book!Art’s decen...
I truly enjoyed reading this. It was spunky and sassy, but it also felt rushed. I find I feel this way more often than not with shorter graphic/comic series. The idea was great, and the MC was great, but the story felt pushed and rushed and not as fleshed out as I WANTED it to be. However, still worth the read!
Weird and funny. While I appreciate the "girl power" stuff there could have been a less 'biological gender'-heavy way to approach it than, for example, all the period jokes. Amusing but lacked nuance.
I LOVED this comic book! Lucy is a badass girl, wise beyond her years. Also there’s a lyric from No Doubt that is used in the most PERFECT way.
I'm a big Max Bemis fan and really wanted to like this book.Granted, it's clearly written for children so I'm not really the demographic. The book is fairly meta - there are times they note that there are plot holes or more exposition would fill in gaps as an attempt to explain why those things aren't addressed in this book, but to me that doesn't make up for not actually answering those questions. Lucy also comes to terms with what's happening to her really quickly and the message (view spoiler...
Fun, original concept. I liked that in each "dream" not only was the story line different but the art was slightly different too. There were a few things that didn't quite make sense but Bemis set up the ending for more books. All in all I enjoyed it.
