review:
'Lifted: Of Gods & Thieves' by Shawn Pryor, Keith Cunningham and Chris Murrin with art by John Rodriguez is a graphic novel about a series of heists and the group of people who pull them off.

Sara Jackson has limited teleportation abilities. Along with her brother Max and their friend Claudette, they steal things for money. A high value client has them steal and item, then they learn that there are a series of three of the items, and now the team has to plan 2 more heists. There is also a team of down on their luck federal agents interested and a strange Hollywood religious cult.

The story is ok, but we get no context. Why does Sara have these powers? How did they decide to start stealing? In over 100 pages, I wanted some backstory, and it's just not there. The art is also not the greatest. The characters all seem to have a lean stretched out quality, and I did lose track of characters at least once.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Action Lab Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
