I’ve never read a graphic novel that’s was this solid! This is the kind of writing that frustrates writers who are trying to find their voice…like me. Chainsaws? Why not! Nothing can possibly go wrong. But they are friends, however unlikely - until Nate declares war on the cheerleaders, and the cheerleaders retaliate by making Charlie their figure-head in the ugliest class election campaign the school as ever seen. At stake? Student group funding that will either cover a robotics competition or new cheerleading uniforms - but not both.īad sportsmanship? Sure. Charlie’s the laid-back captain of the basketball team, and Nate is the neurotic, scheming president of the robotics club. You wouldn’t expect Nate and Charlie to be friends. When done right, the two, despite how lazy it may seem to some, is artistry when time and consideration is given to character development and that’s what freshmen writer Prudence Shen and writer/illustrator Faith Erin Hicks have done with NCPGW. It’s story is more like manga in it’s approach. NCPGW is a fun story, and a great read for all ages! It does a tremendous job of keeping itself relevant, meaning it never tries to push the limits just because it’s a comic book. Come to think, “Love and Robots” would’ve been a better choice for a title then “ Nothing can possibly go wrong“,but that’ll be the only negative thing you’ll see me type about this solid graphic. There’s a thin line between love and robots.
