review:
'Betrothed' by Sean Lewis with art by Steve Uy has an interesting premise, about two people fated to be together and fighting a cosmic battle.
Kieron and Tamara are both seniors and orphans. Kieron is new to school and when he bumps in to Tamara, sparks fly. Then Tamara knocks his tooth out. Then they are kissing because unbeknownst to them, they are from another planet/dimension and are fated to be together, and to bring peace to their people through their union. It's hard to get a moments peace when all kinds of monsters keep attacking and Kieron and Tamara are still trying to understand everything.
In a forward to the volume, the writer states that he wanted to write a book aimed at his younger relatives. The story seems to throw every awkward teen trope at the story. From being the fat kid to the awkwardness of sex to popularity and being new. And like the rest of the book, it feels like it was all thrown together too fast. There is so little character development, especially among the bad guys that relentlessly attack, that I just felt myself not caring.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
