review:
'Moth & Whisper Vol 1' by Ted Anderson with art by Jen Hickman is a fun ride in the world of very capable thieves.

The Moth and the Whisper are legends in the city they live in. Sometimes at odds, sometimes partners, and never caught. When they go missing, their capable child Niki tries to find out what happened by assuming both identities and using tech left behind.

It's an interesting premise with interesting characters, but the story sort of starts to feel pretty standard, and there are interesting world-building things that just kind of get looked over. The main character binary queer. This didn't really add anything to the story, but apparently it was important enough to state twice. Perhaps that becomes a story point going forward. It does add to the character being comfortable posing as either sex in disguises. Maybe that's all that needed to be shown?

The art isn't bad and the plot does move along at a brisk pace.

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.
