Bionic by Koren Shadmi

1.0

I had high hopes for this graphic novel because it seemed like such a fun and unique concept — a guy's crush gets in a terrible accident and becomes a cyborg? Who doesn't like cyborgs? — but unfortunately, the execution was a terrible failure for me. I didn't enjoy the artwork, the storyline, and ffs, these characters were so unenjoyable! The main character takes the "nice guy" trope to the extreme, his crush goes from being this sweet, quiet girl in the beginning to immediately becoming a raging asshole, and all of the side characters are shallow and/or irritating. I don't think anything about this story worked for me at all and I don't recommend picking it up.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this review copy in exchange for an honest review!
