Alex + Ada Volume 2 by Jonathan Luna, 128 pages
The science fiction graphic novel series that looked at the realm of artificial intelligence and the dilemmas that result from it certainly took a romantic turn with this second volume.
Now that Ada can feel and love she wants to experience life and everything it has to offer. But when Alex questions if things are moving too fast everything starts to fall apart in their lives.
I was really hoping this graphic novel series would continue to look at the developing issue of AI and the social concerns it would raise. But instead nearly the entire issue is the building love story.
The story was still very good and extremely well illustrated. But it was like I went to a restaurant expecting steak and ended up with a cheeseburger. Here I was expecting AI science fiction and a rights discussion and got a romance. It was still good, but I would have preferred my steak.
