review:
'Virtual Hero' with story and art by Ruben 'Rubius' Doblas is a graphic novel about a gamer trying out a new virtual headset with unexpected consequences.

Rubius is one of 100 video game players invited to try a new virtual headset called the ORV. He's a pretty popular gamer and soon finds himself in the virtual worlds of his favorite games, but he finds that once he is in there, he can't get out unless someone in real life helps boot him off the system. He finds an even bigger threat inside the game worlds and some new friends to help fight back.

The humor is pretty juvenile and probably not great for younger kids. The gamer stuff was fun, but the depictions and treatment of the female characters was bad at times. It does improve over the story, perhaps due to character growth. The art was a fun manga style and I had a good time picking out all the various video games featured.

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