What a GREAT comic! Really cool character design, solid story, believable characters and i really bonded with all of them :')
Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of this book.This was a fantastic first volume to this series. I loved the MC, Niki and the fact that they were gender fluid. The story moved along at a quick pace and we learned a lot about Niki and their parents but I still feel like there is plenty to explore and learn in subsequent volumes. I really liked the idea of this series. It is something that I haven't read to much of lately. It is billed as a cyberpunk thriller and that really comes thro...
Parts of the narrative felt over explained and slowed the pace of the story.Though there was some character development, I didn't feel fully connected. The villian though powerful didn't seem very observant, in a way that took me out of the story the main character displays an OVER confidence by the end of the novel. I won't go into detail because *spoilers*I liked the novel showed some diversity and the illustrations were cool
4 StarsReview:*I received an ecopy of this book via Edelweiss. This has not influenced my review.*I really liked this, and here's why:- Nice art! How it looks on the cover is basically how it looks inside (but, you know, with panels and whatnot).- Cool premise! A bit superhero-esque, a bit spy-esque, except the main character is a thief-for-hire with high-tech gadgets, taking up the mantle of their parents who recently disappeared.- A genderqueer main character! They even state it on the page, a...
Great graphic novel!I would love to thank Ted Anderson & Jen Hickman, Aftershock Comics and Netgalley for this book in exchange for an honest review.This graphic novel follows Niki, the kid of 2 of the greatest thieves in the city, The Moth and The Whisper. Niki is not a girl nor a boy, it's both, and it is such an amazing and cute character!The other characters are great as well, even the villains.Niki wants to find their parents, because they disappeared a while ago and they left a message for...
4.5 stars.This was a very interesting read and I loved the world setting a lot especially with all the high tech. The artstyle was great too especially the backgrounds. Besides the story, I also like the characters and the representation.My only complain about this book is how easy things get taken care of but otherwise I'm invested in the story especially as to the mystery of what happened to Niki's parents.Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.
The Moth and the Whisper are the premier thieves in this dystopian future where everyone is constantly tracked. When they disappear their child is left not knowing what happened to them and seeks revenge on the most likely subject, taking over the family business. It's a simple story that's been told before, but it's told well. The main character is genderqueer but that is not the focus of the book, it's more on an incidental fact. Jen Hickman's art is clear and concise. I liked the muted colors...
Interesting concept and characters are undercut by a far-from-interesting crime plot. Ho-hum.
Awesome story set in a futuristic world with dystopian vibes. A very likable main character who's genderqueer, which in my opinion made this story even more liberal in terms of worldbuilding. I'm highly intrigued by Moth and Whisper and I'm looking forward to seeing more of their story.A fast-paced plot which keeps you interested and by the time this thriller cyberpunk graphic novel mixed with the sci-fi elements and also the crime to be conquered sank in I was faced with a 'to be continued' and...
The Moth and the Whisper were the two great thieves in the city but they haven’t been seen by anyone in almost six months, not even their child, Niki. Niki’s parents didn’t want them to search for them or put themselves in any danger if they ever disappeared. Naturally Niki, who is a teenager, does the exact opposite, utilising the tools the Moth and the Whisper left behind to try to track them down.Along the way Niki meets a couple of unlikely allies: Walter and Moira.
Moth & Whisper is a crisp, clear, fun thievery thriller set in an intriguing, if underdeveloped, dystopian future. The main character is the genderqueer child of the Moth and the Whisper, two infamous thieves who have disappeared. Niki is dedicated to finding out where they've gone, but the majority of this first volume is a detour into taking down the city's most prominent crime boss.Where is this city? When is this city? Why are there so many crime bosses? These world-building elements are sor...
I got a chance to read this through NetGalley.com. This was a fun concept with a lot of ideas I was interested to see developed. Two notorious thieves, the Moth and the Whisper, run the city, pulling off capers for whoever holds the right amount of money. But no one knows that the Moth and Whisper are one person: Niki.I loved the style of art and some of the ways that the artist drew in the perspective. I was also really interested in the details the author and artist included at the end of the
A futuristic crime thriller with a gender queer thief as the main protagonist? - Hell yeah!
I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalleyOverall this was a very fun read. I liked the main characters and the art style was good. I think it probably could have been a bit longer and as far as I remember we don't actually learn what really happened to her parents, but maybe they are planning on doing another volume. It works well as a standalone but I could also see it becoming a series. Definitely a good short read for people who like sci-fi and lgbtia protagonists.
2,5/5. Strong beginning with and intriguing premises and a solid character. In the middle the storyline became easy, simple and we saw it coming from far away. The queer character didn't bring anything to the story it just seem to have been put there to say that it bring inclusivity in it. I like it but could have been way better and didn't enjoy it enough to continue the series!
I found myself drawn to Hickman's art style, but the story was all telling, no showing, which is frustrating in such a visual medium.I found myself tuning out very early on.If you like caper books, this might be for you. It's a genderqueer cyberpunk story, which is conceptually awesome, but the characters and their dialogue never engaged me, and I grew tired of them discussing their backstory.
Can I give this 10 stars??
I received a copy of Moth & Whisper Vol. 1 through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. Moth & Whisper is a new cyberpunk/thriller graphic novel, and one with a very appealing name at that. The series follows the child of two famous thieves, one known as Moth, and the other known as Whisper. But what does that make their child? Unfortunately, it seems like they’ll have to figure it out for themselves, because the parents have gone missing. This was a captivating tale of sleuthing...
MOTH & WHISPER is an inclusive hero comic that treads almost entirely on familiar ground. There are, to wit, substantial benefits to be gained from literature that fills in the gaps when it comes to providing readers with familiar and realistic characters whose identity struggles are oft overlaid those struggles more common to their station. There is not, however, much creative intrigue to be gained by dropping new characters with new identities into tired narratives and outdated story scenarios...
Digital Arc copy provided by netgalley.Moth and whisper is a graphic novel about a family of theives set in a dystopian future with a heavy cyberpunk feel. The story starts off by telling about the most amazing best theives ever the Moth and whisper, the story being told by their genderqueer teen daughter Niki. They've disappeared and left niki behind on their own to deal with everything. However they've left niki with all of their tech which is more than enough for niki to get by... For now. Ni...
