From JONATHAN LUNA (THE SWORD, GIRLS, Spider-Woman: Origin) and SARAH VAUGHN (Sparkshooter, Ruined) 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 after Ada is dropped into his life, he discovers she is more than just a robot. Alex takes a huge risk to unlock Ada so she can think for herself and explore life as a sentient android. Can they survive the consequences? This oversized hardcover collects ALEX ADA issues 1-15. Review LIBRARY JOURNAL -- When Alex receives the gift of Ada, a sophisticated android companion, hes initially turned off by the idea of living with a life-like robot woman waiting to obey his every command. But theres more to Ada than meets the eye, and after an encounter with an underground faction of rogue AIs dedicated to granting their kind sentience, Alex finds himself bucking both the law and societal norms by falling in love. With a carefully paced, intelligent script cowritten by Vaughn ( Ruined) and Luna ( The Sword) and Lunas deceptively simple illustrations, this intriguing sf manages to combine action, intrigue, big questions about what it means to be sentient, and a passionate romance born of two solitary souls finding unlikely solace in each other. VERDICT While fans who lean more toward the swashbuckling end of the sf spectrum might not find enough adventure here to be satisfied, readers who enjoy more adult, thoughtful speculative fiction are sure to be smitten.
