Review
"An immersive and dangerous drama that asks its audience not only to question the motives and actions of its characters, but also of themselves. Kot and Rossmo aim to hold a reader's attention, opting for brilliant storytelling instead of firearms like their rebellious youth." -- USA Today
"Unsettling and provocative...one of the most impressive comic-book debuts in recent memory." -- The Onion AV Club
"Wild Children reveals the black hole at the center of consensus reality. An artful act of intellectual terrorism that leaves you hopeful instead of dead." -- Douglas Rushkoff (author of Life, Inc., Program or be Programmed, A.D.D. - Adolescent Demo Division)
"Absolutely transcendental." -- iFanboy.com
It's a story about anarchists taking over their school with guns and ideas. It's a mind-expanding, psychedelic philosophical primer, complete with suggested reading. It's a challenge to our preconceived notions about what a comic is and what it can do. Above all, though, it's a love letter to the comics medium."-- Multiversity Comics

An incoherent mash-up of half-formed ideas
By Alt
Maybe Ales Kot has something to say. And maybe, in a few years, he'll be able to pull his thoughts together into a lucid whole. Unfortunately, he's not there yet. Significant parts of this story are just gibberish masquerading as profound thought. I think Kot is trying to channel Beckett and Derrida and Sartre, mix in some quantum physics, and sprinkle the whole thing with nerdish-hip references to pop culture, but the result is mostly just babble. Kot deserves credit for striving to say something meaningful, but when he relies on clichéd notions like "the medium is the message" -- a phrase that dates back to 1964 -- and when his characters blather on about false dichotomies and "the timeless fractal nature of causality in space-time," I just have to giggle.
I don't want to ridicule Wild Children because I think Kot is sincere and sincerity deserves respect. Still, Kot gets a little too cute when he acknowledges that his story doesn't make any sense and insists that the reader is free to "decide what it all means." Fair enough. I decided that Kot's mash-up of half-formed thoughts and science fiction buzz words doesn't mean anything. At least, not anything that hasn't been said before, with greater coherence. Public school education sucks? Reality is whatever you perceive it to be? Not terribly enlightening ideas at best, and seriously underdeveloped here.
On a positive note, the art is perfect for the story. It conveys the sense of shifting reality, or multiple realities, or unreality, that the story tries to achieve. I would give the art more stars than the story; my three star verdict is a compromise between the two, although I would give it 2 1/2 if I could.
A final note. If you're going to do a comic about kids with guns and bombs taking over a high school, you might want to acknowledge reality: when kids bring guns to school, the results are tragic. When characters say "this is all just a game," when they ask with glib innocence "Why are you so afraid of us?," they're either denying history or revealing a shameful ignorance. To the teachers and kids who have died because of guns in schools, it isn't just a game.

Doesn;t transcends named dropped influences
By Miguel Gonzalez
Plot;Group of kids called the wild children take hostage four teachers that they drugged with LSD. Everything in between is a lecture on the nature of reality, education, life. It's all half digested influences of things the author read, watched and muscis, without making or saying anything new.
The art in this is serviceable to the story. Its sketchy ,loose and minimal in detail. The characters manner don't reflect what they say, which makes awkward moment in the story. There an interesting few panels where the artist changes styles to reflect the idea of a changing reality.
Over all, interesting ideas, poor story, and weak art makes for a two star book.

OK, but won't really wow veteran readers
By ChibiNeko
I'm honestly not sure what I thought about this after I finished it, but I'll warn potential readers that this isn't exactly light reading. I have to say that while this wasn't what I was expecting exactly, I was just left a little underwhelmed at the end of it all.
I started out really digging the feel of this comic. The artwork is pretty good. It suited the initial feel of the characters while not being overly polished. When the artists start bringing in the more flashy stuff later on, it's actually to a rather nice effect. I believe that this is because initially we're to believe that this is a simple little world where everything is exactly as it seems to be, with the stranger artwork coming in only after revelations about said world begin to start sinking in to the various unnamed characters in the story. Art-wise, this was great. Story-wise, this was just "OK". I'm going to try to keep from being too spoilerific, but I'll warn you that I might accidentally let some story line spill in my attempts to explain why I felt disappointed by this.
We're thrown rather abruptly into the story line, with little to no information about our youthful characters other than they're teenagers that are pretty disillusioned with the educational system. A few of them are dating, but that's pretty much all we're ever really given about them. We don't even get their names. This actually works in the comic's favor for the most part since the point of this comic is that it's not supposed to be a big epic where just as much time is spent on fleshing out back stories as it is telling the bigger story. I wouldn't be lying if I said that it also kept me from fully sinking into the characters as much as I wanted to.
I think what the ultimate problem with this is that it just feels like it's trying too hard to tell its message. We have themes of anarchy, reality, and disillusionment, but I felt like I was being clubbed over the head with the message. The revelations here are interesting, which is why I was so disappointed in how heavy handed and preachy everything felt. The "ah ha!" moment just didn't have the momentum to go through the entire issue. In the end I couldn't help but feel that the characters were essentially being just as obtuse as the people they were trying to uprise against. The book relies too heavily on the idea that the message here is so novel and interesting that we'll just keep going.
Ultimately this wasn't bad and I appreciate that the comic team was taking a risk in trying to make something of this nature. It's just that this sort of thing has been done before and done better. People who are entirely new to these types of comics will likely embrace this comic, and I encourage them to do so. There's a good idea here. For the ones who are familiar with surreal comics that deal with reality like this, you'll just get a feeling of "been there, done that, already replaced the t-shirt a few times". It's worth reading for the nice artwork and for introducing someone to surreal "challenge what you know" comics, but you'll want to have backup stuff to show them that there are better things out there.
