Somewhat cringey at times, but ultimately not terrrible

this made me move alif the unseen higher up on my to read list because i would be very interested in a more involved take on the same concept
by day ed hiccox and nate graft are the founders of yourlife, a fictional decentralized facebook. by night they're the hacker collective .sve_Urs3lf. set during the tunisian revolution, this is a short volume that follows ed and nate when the us government approaches them to hire them as consultants and they split over what they think their duties are as ethical hackers. it's a quick read and kept my interest throughout. i can't really evaluate it in terms of plausibility or accuracy -- it's been five years since i did any research into the arab revolutions -- but what they did mostly worked for me. it's very slight though, this is a topic that could and should support a deeper treatment
3.5 stars

The name pulled me in from the start. The art even more. By the time I got to the end, though, the story and characters ended up being kinda generic.
I'll probably read a bit more since I have a few more issues that came with the bundle. Hopefully it gets better.

Making a graphic novel about using social media and the powers of the internet to subvert authority and fight opression is a worthy cause, but it kind of stops there. It's a noble effort, but it's a very light treatment of complex issues. Seems like more of an awareness-raising piece than a story in its own right.
