[Review] String, Volume 1 (String #1-3) by Paul Tobin

What a thrill of a ride! Fun. Gritty. Lots of action and intrigue. And I loved the premise for this one. It was conceptually unique and instantly compelling. I can definitely picture it as a TV show with its non-stop action and diverse characters.

One really stand-out quality of this book is that it does a fantastic job of discarding stereotypes, instead giving readers characters that feel more real and human. Yes! Outside the box thinking is so good!

Also, I can't review a graphic novel and fail to comment on the illustrations. The artwork was great—lots of details, with a vintage-comic book feel.

This one was a winner for me.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released May 20, 2025.
