While I personally HATED the art style on this, I think it will appeal to kids who are fans of things like Clarence and Gumball since the art has kind of similar vibe. The story feels a bit rushed but there is room for growth.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for making this available..

This was really different, it gave off Cartoon Network vibes. It was a nice little adventure with a bunch of friends who get stuck in the past and try their hardest to get back home!

Such an odd book. The art vacillates between looking kind of bad and kind of good? But then the construction of the page layouts is regularly quite interesting?

The story is okay, the characters are okay. If you squint, this is an okay book.

This was a cute quick read. Definitely think it is great for the younger readers and I believe they will like the artwork as well.

The plot was promising, the art appealing at first glance. I'm probably not this book's reader, and I hope it goes to the hands and eyes of someone who will appreciate this story 100%.

The Storm is the first book the new adventure graphic series of Lost In the Future. Four friends a.k.a. class nerd, Driss, Sara, Arnold and Mei are on a school field trip to an ancient castle when a storm erupts. They accidentally fall down a tunnel that takes them into the future with one of their class bully, Piero.

They trapped at the medieval era, during Knight Templer and haunted by the Inquisition. Not just that, the environment is full of a mutation monster. What a drama! With a help from Antoine and his friends, they try to escape from the weird world.

I love the plot twist at the end and it kinda explain why this story is to be continued.😅

I gave 5 ⭐

I think this comic is not really my style. Generally speaking, I had a good time and it's not bad. But first of all, it's not my style of drawing. And secondly, I don't know, I didn't really like the characters. They're nice, though, very active. They're trying to get back to their reality and they're not at the end of their adventures.
I would recommend to those who are looking for a quick and easy read and/or those who like space-time travel stories.
3/5

*I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the free graphic novel!*

The graphic novel is about a group of students who get lost (the class bully falls through a portal with them, it's his fault) during their field trip and start time / space travelling and encounter different people, fantasy monsters etc. It's pretty cute but also very random, I grew a bit bored. Drawings are nice and I would maybe pick up a sequel, because I want to know how they eventually get home. But the randomness of the story was a bit annoying too.

I wanted this to have a similar vibe to Lumberjanes, but I don't know if the first volume is enough to judge it on. Cure graphic and I'm sure as it develops, it will be very good

Lost in the future tells the story of a group of friends and their bully, who end up accidentally entering a portal that leads them to an uneexpected future. In this new place they meet different characters who will guide them on their way back to their normal lives and will leave them a message or two to keep. It's a very sweet story about friendship, family abuse, change, and second chances. All these topics throughout the adventures they embark in order to return home to their families.

The negative: it has long texts
The positives: the beautiful story, its cartoon-like illustrations, the colors

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this story.




Lost in the future nos narra la historia de un grupo de amigos y su bully que terminan entrando accidentalmente en un portal que los lleva a un futuro muy poco esperado. En este nuevo lugar conocen a distintos personajes que los guiarán en su camino de regreso a sus vidas normales y les dejarán uno que otro mensaje para conservar. Es una historia muy tierna sobre la amistad, el abuso, los cambios y las segundas oportunidades. Todos estos temas tratados a lo largo de las aventuras en las que se embarcan para poder regresar a casa con sus familias.

Lo negativo: tiene unos textos muy largos
Lo positivo: la historia, sus ilustraciones como de dibujos animados, los colores

Gracias a NetGalley por permitirme leer esta historia

4.25/5 stars

An amazing story of adventure and friendship! We follow a group of kids as they fall through time and encounter various mishaps. But there's also the bully who fell with this group of kids! Through the book, the bully comes to accept these "losers" as he begans to trust them. The graphics are fantastic and the story is very fun. My only qualm is wrt the digital copy provided to me; the text of dialgoues is very small and when zoomed in, becomes blurry. Hence I found it difficult to figure out the dialouges.

Content warning for fat phobia and ableism. I had a difficult time enjoying the graphic novel because of the casual fat phobia and the ableism. The plot was rushed and not grounded. Also there was a lack of character development which made it more difficult for me to connect to the story. There was a lot of exposition and dialogue that made the story drag on and ultimately fall short of a well rounded story. Lastly, I personally didn’t enjoy the illustrations.

This was so adorable!!! I loved the art and color scheme here - very vibrant! The story was cute and funny and I loved seeing the friendships grow. The end was a cliffhanger and I'm excited to see what happens next!

4.1/5

Five students are caught up in the flux of time after some bullying and a stumble down a well. They wake up to mutated beasts and lush vegetation. It is only a matter of time before they are running, screaming and being hunted, until they are saved.

Now in a medieval looking town with 700 year old ancients and mysterious rules, the five children will have to keep their wits about them to make it back home. After scaling hills, walking through animal graveyards and finding the hidden, are they ready for home, or are there other stops to make?

The artwork is filled with heavy hues and adorable old people 😍. A tale about the old helping the young, bullying, differently abled bodies, the importance of friendships and childhood ingenuity.

If you love graphic novels and stories filled with adventure, give this a read.

Lost in the future is the first comic book of THE STORM series.
It's a cute little book about a group of kids who went on a field trip in an ancient castle and accidentally fell down in a tunnel and time travels to the future. There they get trapped with monsters and a man named Antoine rescues them. But the people of the village are unwilling to let them stay. Antoine and his friends shows them a route to escape but Something tells them they aren't back home!?

I loved the illustrations and the characters. Piero was a bully but this adventure completely changed him. And i admire author for creating Sara's character.
The story was very basic, it ends with a cliffhanger. and i want to read the next book to know What happens with them.

Thank you @netgally for the E-ARC.

This was a perfectly adequate graphic novel, and the first and what could be an interesting series. I did enjoy the art, but found the writing to be a little thin. I think this would be a perfectly entertaining story for kids as it is a real page turner with constant propulsive action, but the characters are thin and a lot of the character development seems shallow. I think it could improve upon subsequent entries in the series.
