The more comic books I read, the pickier I become. The plot is solid and the artwork very good but I find myself emotionally uninvested in our protagonist and her problems, as intriguing as they are objectively. Because this series is still ongoing, there’s no resolution expected anytime soon and that bugs me. ( )

Enjoyable art and love seeing POC as main characters, but the story didn't grab me. ( )

Independent graphic novel/features a main character from an underrepresented group
I want to like Motor Crush more than I do. It's a fantastic concept with amazing characters, but it just feels too chaotic at times. Too much is happening. I'm sure it gets clearer in the next volume, and I will probably read it, but as it is right now, I didn't love it.
(It's got big Battle Angel Alita vibes, which is cool.) ( )

I loved so many things about it!

Domino Swift is a black lesbian. She's a badass. She's cocky. She races for fame and cash. And then she races again - to get a narcotic for machines known as Crash. Though the way she uses it differs from the standard significantly.

This is tied to a question Dom tries to find an answer to: who is she?? And, damn, I would like to find out as well.

The pacing is amazing! The story moves fast and we are held by the suspense at all times. Every turn, and there are some crazy turns, feels realistic within the story. There's nothing pulled out of thin air.

I'm a sucker for futuristic stories where the world is bright and colourful! So, I'm probably totally biased on this one but I love the worldbuilding. What can I say? I'm just tired of dystopias everywhere you look - give me girls with bright coloured hair and funny looking buildings instead!

And when we're on bright colours - the art is so pretty! Big part of the stoty takes place during night races and yet when I think of the art in this comic I think of bright colours.

Everyone who uses only 15 shades of black in their comic should see this one and reconsider. Please.

There were some great moments betweet Dom and her dad. I love their relationship. They love each other and support each other. Even when they quarrel. There's also Dom's ex-girlfriend - Lola. They still have some issues to solve but they're both clearly not over it. Dom values both of those relationships deeply but how her issues with Crush and looking for answers will affect them?
