Kids find a body in the woods. Sounds like The Body (AKA Stand By Me), but that is where the similarity ends. I gasped out loud at least two different junctures and enjoyed the characters and the muted color palette. The ending was a bit abrupt, and I hope there will be more to come!

I loved the art style in Plutona, the characters were all so interesting to look at and the colours were gorgeous and always fitted the feel of the scene perfectly. I thought it was really interesting seeing each of the characters, who came from totally different backgrounds and lives, coming together! I also liked that it's split into two parts, the kids story and Plutona's story and origin. I loved the insight, however small, into the life of a superhero. The main aspect that I really didn't love about this, was how they treated Diane, e.g Ray constantly calling her 'chubs' and Mie not standing up for her and leaving her behind etc. I felt as though this was unnecessary. There was no real point to it and, for me, it really didn't add anything to the story. I thought it was sad that nothing came of this or had much of a conclusion. It was just kind of accepted? I went into this not knowing it was a mini series, so it felt a little rushed and anticlimactic. I just wish it had been longer and a little more fleshed out with a slightly more conclusive ending! I think if I had gone into it knowing it was a stand alone, I might have been a lot more impressed but nonetheless it was an interesting and entertaining snapshot of a story! I did enjoy the final page though, I feel as though this would make an incredible tv show or movie!! Also, I can't not mention LOKI THE PUG PUPPY!!! A puppy named after a marvel villain?! What more could you want. I'd very much like puppies in all the graphic novels I read from now on... :')
