They're Not Like Us Volume 1 - Eric Stephenson, Simon Gane, Jordie Bellaire

This graphic novel was following me around. I even saw it in physical book stores, where I seldom see graphic novels that are also on Netgalley at the time. So, as I kept coming across it my interest grew and I decided to give it a try even though I didn't really know what it was about and I passed on it when I first saw it.

 

A bunch of special kids live together being special. That's basically what it is.

 

It was not for me. I was actually disappointed by the story. There wasn't a single likeable character between them and I couldn't feel any sympathy either. There was a lot of self pity though, how nobody liked them because they were different. I still don't know where the story is going, but frankly I don't really care. The best part for sure was the title. The art was good but didn't blow me away.

 

Black Holes For The Young is the first volume of They're Not Like Us.

 

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
