Wow... This story is so unique and intriguing. I love the characters, the plot and the pacing. Can't wait to read the next volume.

A man struggling with loneliness gets a life-like android from his grandmother. Though he feels responsible for her, he is not satisfied with her lack of self. But sentient robots have been outlawed ever since a robot went on a rampage. Will Alex give Ada a will of her own?

Alex + Ada features a story that has been told before. It presents it in a shiny comic form that captivates the reader to want to know more. Alex grows from a despondent guy to someone we can root for. A quick read, and I'd love to know what lies in store for Alex and Ada next.
