I'm not a big Sci-Fi fan. I mean I enjoy some a lot (Saga/Red Rising) but it's not my go-to genre. So when I was approached to check out this comic, Genu, I was a little apprehensive.

I published a few books and comics, and I know the fear of giving a copy to someone, and always expecting a honest review. And sometimes that review isn't a great review. So that's always a fear, I assume most creators go through.

Luckily Genu is actually a very well put together comic.

It starts off in a way that reminded me of Ender's Games. A bunch of kids, altered and raised in Space, training. But soon into chapter one a terrible thing happens, a lot of people are murdered, but admis all this a "god" like creature comes and saves one of these boys (M07, I'll be calling him Seven) and another man and woman with him.

So this is really about what do we do in the future when everything is spinning out of control. A lot of the storyline contains twist and turns, who to trust, who's the bad guy, what are these creatures that have been here way before us, and what do they want.

On top of that you get some really great black and white art. I mean some of these shots of space and such are amazing. Sure got a few panels here and there that feel bit weaker compared to it, but overall the art impressed me.

I will say it is a lot of lore. Mostly done well, and explained through actions or plot advancements instead of exposition, which is greatly appreciated. But at points I had to go back and remember who is who and why they're doing what they are doing. I also feel like the plot of the kids and their uniqueness is kind of left save the main character seven.

But the twist and brutal nature of this world really worked for me. A few deaths and plot twist really surprised me, and for that I always give it credit. I'd rate it firmly at a 3.5 out of 5, but I'll round it to a 4 out of 5 here!
