Sofia is a comic book series about a girl who loves to surf and who uploads a copy of herself to the cloud. I really enjoyed this first volume! The artwork was beautiful, with vibrant colours, a cute art style and extra texture to some of the panels to demarcate parts of the story that take place in the virtual world. The inclusion of songs was also a nice touch and I thought it was a great playlist. With regard to the story, I loved the concept of 'the internet falling apart' and the idea of living in a virtual sphere versus reality continues to fascinate me. However, there were definitely moments where I was quite confused as to what was going on. Some of my questions where eventually answered, but I'm asuming future volumes will address the others. Initially I also felt like I had to suspend my disbelief quite a bit (it almost seemed like the author was unaware that data in the cloud isn't something abstract but rather stored on physical servers), but pretty soon I was immersed in the story and it didn't bother me anymore. I'm definitely interested to see where this story will go.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a review copy.
