Comics: Alex + Ada ~ Issue 1

Illustrated and Story by: Jonathan Luna
Story by: Sarah Vaughn
Rated: T+ / Teen Plus
Image Comics
(3/5 ★★★☆☆)


I only have the digital copy of this comic, which I got for free when Image Comics made the digital version of some Issue #1s free to be downloaded. Alex + Ada is just among those that were available.

The story is set in the future wherein most technologies are controlled by our thoughts. It was seen that from the moment we wake up, we can just think and command in our heads for our alarm clocks to shut off. This is true to the other gadgets such as lights, phones, and even cars. All of this is seen as the story follows Alex, a 27 year old who is celebrating his birthday. The issue concludes with him finding a huge box, a gift from his grandmother, in his living room. Upon opening it, he finds a female android inside.

This is a nice simple story that is set in the future. From this issue, I guess the main plot of this series will be regarding a man's love to his gadget. So far it looks interesting. The best part would be the comic's cover wherein Ada, I'm guessing that's the name of the android, is drawn to be wearing a veil on her head. However, when looked upon more closely, it can be seen that it is just part of Tanaka Corporation's wrapping of their product. The cover looks amazing since it appears to be a marriage scene.
