SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:
As the world struggles to accept the emergence of a new kind of human species known as alterations, or “Alters,” a young woman must navigate the path to becoming her true self, while struggling with the complications of her civilian life and the responsibilities of her newfound power.
This groundbreaking series--years in the making--begins the saga of a young woman who can only really be herself…whenever she is not herself.
MY RATING: I gave this graphic novel a high rating because of how I like original the story is. Chalice, the protagonist, is a trans-woman and possessed extraordinary powers just like the other Alters or superheroes. It is unknown what is the cause of their abilities as it was not reveal in this volume. I might check the development on the succeeding issue because I'm curious if it would get better. I liked this, but not to the extent that I would consider following the comic series. |
