A stunning comic book focused all on a secret society named after Marie Curie. It was a quick read and involved three college girls entering into this scientific society with each of them bringing their own strengths to serve the organization.
I will admit that a lot of the science in this book flew over my head but I felt like there was a good amount of character development in this story. We got to see Taj, Maya, and Simone bicker and argue and slowly get used to each other forming a tentative bond of friendship.
This story was action-packed and has me intrigued to continue on and read the second installment of the story to see how everything concludes. The secret mission that the characters went on was fun to see although the red herring in the story was kind of obvious. I think the best thing about this was all of the illustrations! They really added to my enjoyment and I think the artists of this comic really outdid themselves.
I’m glad to have finally read this book after having it sit on my shelves for about four years untouched. Is this the most groundbreaking comic I’ve ever read, no. But was it certainly a fun time while it lasted? Yes!
