It s the first day of summer break in the sleepy town of Liberty View, and young Lois Lane bursts onto the scene with what she knows is a sure-to-go-viral video channel. Okay, maybe her platform only receives two views a week (thanks, Mom), and maybe her best friend, Kristen, isn t quite as enthusiastic about social media, but when Lois sets her mind on something, there s no turning back. At the end of the week, the big neighborhood barbecue and bike race will be the perfect backdrop to Lois and Kristen s #friendshipchallenge video. But when the girls find out the annual fireworks are missing, Lois doubles down on her efforts for fame, testing her friendship in ways she couldn t imagine. With Kristen leaving for sleepaway camp after the barbeque and a new girl on the block taking all of Kristen s attention, will Lois be able to find the missing fireworks, celebrate the summer, and post the best #friendshipchallenge the internet has ever seen? Or will she have to face her challenges IRL?
Initial Thoughts: This graphic novel was really enjoyable! It was a fast read for me and I loved the storyline. The GN focuses primarily on a friendship storyline. There's a little mystery involved too and if you have background knowledge on who Lois Lane is, it's fun watching her character as a tween/younger teen. The art in this one was super fun! I enjoyed how bright and colorful the graphics were. This one will definitely appeal to graphic novel fans -- especially fans of Smile or Roller Girl. It was a bit shorter, I believe than those graphic novels, but it was just an overall fun read! I enjoyed it a lot. I also really felt like each of the characters had a personality that was individual and seemed to jump off the page -- I really think the text and the graphics did this combined so well. Anyway, I'll have a longer review to come! Thank you to NetGalley and DC Entertainment/Comics for allowing me to read an advanced eARC in exchange for a review!
