Lost in the Future is the first book of the new adventure graphic series "The Storm". Four friends and one foe accidentally fall down a tunnel on a student field trip to an ancient castle. They come out on a new planet or at a different time, they don't know! It's like a new planet with wild and strange monsters. Also, according to the people of this place is the future, but it's like the past! All this doesn't matter because they try to stick together and survive to get back home.
A fun read with different characters and adventures. I look forward to the next!

This book left me feeling old. Not because of the topics covered or anything like that.
But because the feeling of nostalgia it brought for shows that I watched as a child.
But unlike the shows I watched as a child, I was left feeling hollow rather then finding comedy within them.

Although the cover colors are gorgeous, don't be fooled, the illustrations are awful.
This graphic novel tells the story of five children, one is the bully and the other four are his victims. On a school excursion, while it starts to rain, they have an accident and go through a portal where they travel in time; it is not very well explained if it is the past, the future or an alternate universe (Although the title says that it is the future), but they have to survive the dangers of that new land.
The story isn't interesting enough, the characters are stereotyped, situations go by too fast for you to care what happens to the children, and I'll say it one more time, the illustrations are hideous.

This was so fun and entertaining! The art style was so weird but it feels like it's part of Cartoon Network, and I love that. The characters were okay, some of them were cliche and annoying, and the plot was pretty basic, but it was still fun and I'm excited to read the next volume.

Five students are caught up in the flux of time after some bullying and a stumble down a well. They wake up to mutated beasts and lush vegetation. It is only a matter of time before they are running, screaming and being hunted, until they are saved.
Now in a medieval looking town with 700 year old ancients and mysterious rules, the five children will have to keep their wits about them to make it back home. After scaling hills, walking through animal graveyards and finding the hidden, are they ready for home, or are there other stops to make?
The artwork is filled with heavy hues and adorable old people

Une lecture facile et rapide mais pas extraordinaire
Mots Clés: bande-dessinée, science-fiction, voyage temporel, jeunesse
Je pense que cette bande-dessinée n’est pas vraiment mon style. De manière général, j’ai passé un bon moment et ce n’est pas mauvais. Mais tout d’abord, ce n’est pas mon style de dessins. Et ensuite, je ne sais pas, je n’ai pas vraiment accroché aux personnages. Ils sont sympathiques cela dit, très actifs. Ils essaient de retourner dans leur réalité et ne sont pas au bout de leurs aventures.
Je recommande à ceux qui recherchent une lecture facile et rapide et/ou à ceux qui aiment bien les histoires de voyage spatio-temporel.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Lost in the Future is the story of a group of students on a field trip that are magically transported to the future through a tunnel of water. The plot moves nicely along as the students try to find their way back home and run into some interesting characters along the way. However, while we get small glimpses of the main character's personalities, they are only developed at a surface level. The only character that we get a tiny deeper look at is Piero, the class bully, who is incredibly mean to the other members of the group and picks on them for their disabilities. I didn't feel like this character arc was fully developed since the book ends in a cliffhanger (leading in to book 2 in a series). But at the end I really didn't feel like he had become a part of the group as he was still very hesitant to be with them. Overall it was a fun story but I would have liked to see more character development.

Content warning for fat phobia and ableism. I had a difficult time enjoying the graphic novel because of the casual fat phobia and the ableism. The plot was rushed and not grounded. Also there was a lack of character development which made it more difficult for me to connect to the story. There was a lot of exposition and dialogue that made the story drag on and ultimately fall short of a well rounded story. Lastly, I personally didn’t enjoy the illustrations.

A story that felt a bit flat, just like the characters.
The story and characters:
I think if this was an animated show drawn out over a few episodes I would have liked it a bit more, but the story itself seemed a bit too fast-paced and you didn't get enough of the characters. This is important because...
The Art:
I didn't think the art was that spectacular either. Sure, it was cute, but I felt like the art style would have worked a bit better with it animated.
This book is for:
Kids who want a simple plot and characters that might be similar to a tv show. It personally didn't jive with me but I can see there being value in it for reluctant readers.
