"The story of two young men, desperately chasing a dream. Desperately trying to make a mark on the world. The story of Peter Solidad and Tim Irwin.
When we started work on what would become nu-life, we were in the middle of a bubble. Everyone was obsessed with ai art. Nft's. It felt like at some point we collectively had taken our eye off the ball, and just started following the money. Which is the story of humanity in the twenty-first century, in general, if we're being honest. But i was obsessed with virtual reality. The possibility that the digital world--the one we were building might one day be better than the real world. That it represented a clean slate. A fresh start."
I have been mightily impressed by comiXology and their run of exclusive series with . I have enjoyed , , , and and I am currently reading more.
However, I felt I should branch out and try something different. This caught my eye as it is right on topic for me with simulation being an area of interest. The premise seems simple enough, a dystopian future where the rich can escape to the metaverse and the rest have to survive on a broken planet.
When a degenerate gambler, Ash, is offered a way into nu-life, she thinks her luck has finally changed. However, she is soon landed with a mysterious secret as her ex hands her a cube containing encrypted data; the secret to freeing the metaverse from the grips of Tim Irwin.
As he is being 'unplugged' (think the Matrix) he uses his final breath to tell Ash to seek out Solidad, who may be the only person she can trust. Unfortunately, Ash is soon captured by the head of security Rez (who is dressed a lot like Rinzler in Tron: Legacy) who demands she decodes the secret message. Luckily rescue is on it's way and Ash's adventure takes yet another turn!
The artwork is growing on me and the story so far has left me intrigued as to where it is going. It feels somewhere between The Matrix and Tron so far and the comparisions are hard to ignore, especially with dialogue like this:
Is this one of those "you die in the game, you die in real life things?" I always thought those were stupid.
Hard to tell if it's a nod to the classics or a clear acknowledgement that they have borrowed a lot from their stories. 4 stars.

Immersive
Good color artwork. Chapter three in a ComiXology series. Very similar in theme to every other virtue reality story? Good graphics so far? Maybe a twist near the end?

Very fun
This is such a fun story for people who love virtual reality games I never read a comic like it before.

I gave this 3 stars only because the series started out with such promise, maybe there is a chance this turns out great.

Getting good
As the plot thickens, the comic feels richer. Still some funny poses, but mostly the artwork is nice, creative, colourful.
