Alex + Ada - Volume 1

I have fully learned my lesson on judging a book by its cover this time. I have thought FOR SURE that I was never going to read this book and it would suck and I would hate it, and I regret to inform my past self that I was completely wrong and that I am so down with this story.

I recently watched Black Mirror in its entirety, in one afternoon when I had the flu a few weeks ago and was then recommended to read this book by a coworker on my first day back to work. To me, Black Mirror watches like Twilight Zone, where each episode follows a completely different story, but overall there are general themes that are cohesive throughout.

Alex + Ada seems like it could be a spin-off comic version of an episode of Black Mirror, much more thorough and descriptive, which I really like. What I didn't like about episodes of Black Mirror, the length of detail and abrupt endings,  Alex + Ada fill that void for me, because while the story is similar to the theme of Black Mirror, it also is much more filling and grows more organically for the reader. I just heard though that it is getting cut after 12 issues, which SUCKS because after the first 6, I am really into it. I can't wait to get caught up on this.
