Lifeformed stars Cleo, a normal human girl who's father is killed in front of her during an alien invasion. In the chaos, a rouge alien shape-shifter disguises itself as her now dead father, and the two of them set of on an adventure to try and stop this alien takeover/genocide in its tracks, all the while being hunted by other aliens hell-bend on their deaths.
The art is good, but nothing spectacular. The character designs are decent, but I've seen better. The backgrounds are fine, without being over detailed. The color palette is muted and dark, which clashes with the tone in some places. It never lets up, thus further muddying the tone. Some of the characters have bizarre shifts in opinion and action. Cleo's character has a radical shift in the middle of the book, which clashes with who she was before. The designs for the aliens is pretty generic, nothing to call home about. Over all, this book suffers from problems, but is generally alright.
TL;DR: 6/10
