Description

Maya is a comic book artist in the middle of a creative crisis. She’s constantly stressed about deadlines and feels like she’s not doing the type of work she loves. In between trying to fight her writer’s block and doling out advice to her best friend on how to finally land a date, Maya receives an unexpected visitor: Soma, an extraterrestrial alien who crashlands in Maya’s living room. Soma delivers a message to Maya, warning her that an alien invasion from his own kind is fast approaching, and he needs her help to stop it!

Soma was a blast! It follows a young comic book artist, who is stressed about meeting her deadlines, when an alien crashes into her living room. This graphic novel was so much fun! I loved the parallels between the stories that Soma is illustrating and the one she gets to live in the real world. The aliens designs were super cute, and the colors throughout this book were soo pretty!

Thanks to NetGalley, Fernando Llor, and Oni Press for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

Soma was a cute and fast paced adventure! The art was beautiful and so does the story honestly. Plot wise nothing we haven’t seen before and yet, it works!
I loved the characters so much, all of them, from the primary to the secondary ones!
I also loved the Cult of The Lamb reference (if I didn’t imagine it but knowing they the artist on this worked on the game I bet I didn’t) anyway, I highly recommend this comic to everyone who loves sci-fi adventures with a cute little yet fierce alien!
