review:
'Unplugged and Unpopular' by Mat Heagerty with illustrations by Tintin Pantoja and Mike Amante is a graphic novel aimed at tweens showing how staring at screens might be evil.

Erin Song lives in a very connected world. She wants to be popular, so she makes a bad choice. That leads her parents to ban her from devices, but she discovers something insidious happening around her. When she tries to tell her friends and family, they won't believe her. Who can she get to help stop this plot?

I like the idea of this story, but I felt disappointed in the execution. The plot deals with our addiction to devices, but the people who are not addicted seem to be weird and build kind of dumb solutions. The art worked ok for the story and I liked it quite a bit.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
