Noah's Reviews > Project Nought

A surprisingly smart story presented through a clean and vibrant art style, Project Nought has definitely just skyrocketed into one of my top five favorite graphic novels of all time! The plot follows Ren as he is transported from the 1990’s into the far-flung future as a part of some history lesson for students in 2122. With a fun cast of characters, Ren has to not only uncover a corporate conspiracy, but also decide how make the most of his little vacay into the future, otherwise the whole trip will have been… for naught. Badum tsss. Anyway, this had such a nostalgic appeal to me; it honestly reminded me a lot of those mid 2000’s cartoons like Danny Phantom or Code Lyoko (not really in terms of story, mainly just vibes). I noticed a lot of time travel stories fall apart the moment they try to get too in-depth on the logistics of time travel, but this story had a particularly fun twist on the genre. And other than the main conflict, this graphic novel has a somewhat more idyllic look at the future, but I thinks that's a part of the charm; happy endings mean so much more in queer love stories.
