Valuable both online and IRL
Published by Alex Pine , 9 months ago
“In Real Life” is a fun, colorful graphic novel, but that content therein is immensely valuable. With topics like economics, equality, and justice, all packaged up in a realistic scenario in an online game, “In Real Life” has a lot to offer!
A comfort to know real people are out there

The art style is brilliant, and the concept is something I had never thought of. It certainly seems to be something that is best told through the medium of comic/graphic novel. The characters are almost entirely women, which means there's women of every type. After I read it, I gave it to my sister, who responded with "Wow. Big Mood."
Technology can be rough, and this is a nice reminder that there is another, real person out there and that our actions can have very real effects. Hopefully good effects.
