One of my favorite Transformers figures was a Blue Corvette named Tracks. He showed up in the later episodes and was very concerned about his paint job. Tracks could also fly. Not many Autobots could fly but he had these fold out wings and he could fly. The one thing that I had not noticed nor remembered from my childhood was that his face was red. This is very apparent with the Funko Pop figure that I ordered from Toy Tokyo. I was surprised that I could get it and for a decent price. There is one Transformers Funko Pop out there that I was not lucky enough to get my hands on. It is of Jetfire and was an exclusive that ran up to a crazy high price. Maybe someday I’ll get my hands on it.
I received a free digital copy of Pixels of You, a Graphic novel out now from Amulet Books so that I could read and review.
Pixels of You was an interesting read. It explores the ideas of AI and personality, belonging and struggle. The story is of two characters, Indira and Fawn. Indira is a photographer and she is interning for a woman named Paloma who owns an art gallery called Decade. Indira has an art installation going on when she meets the new intern, Fawn. There is tension instantly between the two as Fawn expresses how much she dislikes the photos all the while not realizing that it is Indira who took them. Those awkward moments lead to the two girls being forced to work together on a new photography show. Along the way we learn why Indira dislikes Fawn and we also learn the difficulties that Fawn has as well.
This was certainly a complex and moving work. I liked all of the interesting themes throughout and discovering along with the characters the secrets that each one was keeping. Ultimately finding an understanding and possibly more.
The work is geared toward the LGBTQ+ community but the themes of finding who we are are universal and of interest to all people. The artwork is excellent and pulls the reader in. Morea bout the book below. If you want to pick up a copy of this book please consider using my Amazon.com affiliate link. Continue reading Review: Pixels of You→
