One day, gravity on Earth suddenly became a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality. And to Willa Fowler, a woman born just after G-day, it's...well, it's pretty awesome, actually. You can fly through the air! I mean, sure, you can also die if you jump too high. So you just don't jump too high. And maybe don't get mixed up in your Dad's secret plan to bring gravity back, which could get you killed... SKYWARD HC collects all 15 issues of the Eisner Award-nominated series from writer JOE HENDERSON (showrunner of NetflixÕs Lucifer) and artist LEE GARBETT (Captain Marvel: Last Avenger, Loki: Agent of Asgard). It also features a BRAND-NEW EPILOGUE with all-new art and story!

This was good, but it made my head spin for some reason, maybe as the characters are constantly just falling and jumping around in low gravity... I don't know. It's a sci-fi about this post-apocalyptic style world where suddenly there's low gravity and people, things, and water just float away. Interesting premise, though it's far from scientific accuracy, I mean most comics are anyways, lol. Willa is a fearless and confident character, has this scary cat dad who predicted this will happen as he's apparently a very smart scientist, but never leaves his apartment in 20 years.... yikes. His wife is presumed dead and he grieves about it. Willa also has some friends, though they contribute to saving the world, they don't really share much of the spotlight. The illustrations were breathtaking and so good! I love Willa's bouncy hair when she falls down or just floats away. I did have some problems with some parts as it seemed as the author just put random stuff but at least it looked good! The giant insects would be so scary in real life, just saying I don't want them to exist, lol. I'd say if you're into post-apocalyptic and/or sci-fi comics this may be for you! I did enjoy it!
I found this conclusion to the series to be a bit too rushed. The setting and time changed so much that the story struggled to feel cohesive. Unfortunately this is the weakest volume of the series for me, but I loved the artwork and found the story to still be enjoyable. I just wish it hadn't been so rushed.
