Morgan, Annie, Mitch, and Van live in a bubble, a manufactured dome that protects them from the alien lifeforms outside of the city.
Occasionally, the critters outside get in and that leads to Morgan fighting back to save the people around her. She’s very good at it because she grew up outside the bubble, learning to kill aliens with a bow and arrow.
But when one of the corporations running the bubble develops an app called Huntr to hire people to kill the imps and various creatures that plague the bubble residents, Morgan discovers she hasn’t left her past behind as much as she thought.
Things accelerate from there.
I enjoyed Bubble very much for its story and characters. I realize it is a satire on various things from the gig economy to millennials to survivalists, but it also stands on its own legs as a fun fantasy.
The story leaves a small opening for a second entry in the series, but closes the first book in a satisfying way. Not all comics bother to do so, and I appreciated it.
Because of some of the content (language and drug use), I’d recommend this book to older teens or adults only.
It is clever and a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
