NYX: No Way Home by Marjorie Liu, Kalman Andrasofszky
3.0
Maybe it’s because Monstress set the bar so high, or maybe it’s because of the cliffhanger that will never get resolved, but NYX just didn’t leave me fulfilled quite like I was hoping it would.
The powers of the teenagers in NYX are exciting and Lui wastes no opportunity at showcasing them! Kiden can freeze time/the world around her, Tatianna can shift into a person if she comes into contact with their blood, Lil Bro creates real life illusions, and Bobby can mind-control!
But that’s about the nicest thing I can say about this comic miniseries. There was a lot of build-up in the story, with no gain. I liked the characters alright, but none of them really left me wishing I knew them in real life. I don’t know, I just felt meh about this one.
