"Though this is a fairly classic sci-fi story
line, Luna and Vaughn's sensitive plot and careful pacing keep it exciting,
especially as they strip away preconceived notions and use the tale to examine
the complexities of what it is to be human. Luna's spare illustrations match the
plot perfectly, particularly his ability to bring nuance and feeling to faces
rendered in a very simple style. Fans of Brian K. Vaughan's Saga or
anyone who loves a good sci-fi tale will find plenty of thought-provoking stuff
here." - Booklist
“Luna's
artwork possesses a beautiful simplicity that reinforces the importance of the
characters to the narrative.” - Library

From JONATHAN LUNA (GIRLS,
THE SWORD, Spider-Woman, ULTRA) and SARAH VAUGHN (Sparkshooter) comes ALEX +
ADA, a sci-fi drama set in the near future. The last thing in the world Alex
wanted was an X5, the latest in realistic androids. But when Ada is dropped into
his life, he discovers she is more than just a robot.? This will be JONATHAN
LUNA's return to comics after three years off since the end of THE
SWORD!
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.
