The world is a place of heartbreak in a post-apocalyptic setting and this comic proves to be no joke about it.
MOTRO VOL. 1 tells of the titular character, Motro, as he journeys in a weird world trying to live up to his father’s echoing words in his head. Ulises Fariñas and Erick Freitas packed a lot for what was a story just about a young boy. The world the reader gets into is pretty much fantasy placed in a post apocalyptic setting riddled with some intriguing concepts here and there that make the writers’ world building feel authentic. The artwork and colors show how this world was convincing through spurts of minimalism to landmarks of intricate detailing that was quite delightful amidst the comic’s sadness. Fariñas and Freitas made sure that the real focus here was Motro’s personal growth over the course of this volume which was something I had paid attention to a lot.
Motro Vol. 1 can easily be recommended to any comic reader who may or may not be into the fantasy genre as this comic’s hook is its titular character’s coming of age story that spans years. With a world like Motro’s, I wouldn’t be surprised if the creators decide to make more stories after this one.
