Special 10-Page Preview! Two stories in one world. Coin Operated Boy tells the tales of two self-aware robots and their relationships with their respective creators. Genesis wants a love without complications and she’ll engineer the perfect boy to get it. Enter Daniel, Genie’s clockwork creation. Then, Sara thinks she is a girl just like any other, but when the reality that she’s an android hits her, she hits back.

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

The concept of this preview is pretty unique and intriguing because it is about a coin-operated character in a sci-fi setting. But the way to concept is presented to us makes it very lacking of clarity and depth.

The narrative of this preview feels very disjointed, with underdeveloped plot points that leave us as readers confused about the story’s direction.

The characters in this preview had the potential to be very good and interesting characters but in reality they lack depth and any form of personalities. 

The characters’s motivates and backgrounds are very unexplored and underdeveloped which makes it very difficult for me personally to like them or get invested in their journeys.

The artwork in this preview is the best part of this preview in my opinion. Because the artwork is very appealing and it captures the quirky and futuristic elements of the story which this preview tries to give us. 

The artwork in this preview are very vibrant and engaging. The art does complement the concept which this preview tries to give us but doesn’t enhance the overall storytelling of this preview or make me interested enough in this preview to give it a good rating.

This preview tries to give us the themes of identity and technology but the themes are very undeveloped and not fully explored.

So will I buy and read the full version of this comic book ? I don’t think I will. The main reason behind this is how poorly this preview was very uninteresting for me personally.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
