The journey to the island doesnt go quite as Dave expected when he meets hungover heiress Courtney, but you wont hear him complaining. As each of the 140 arrives, social media mogul and Headspace mastermind Laurence Farrell has a very special message for his new heirs. Also, did anyone notice that the app changed to 139? Whats that all about?
Unfollow is a masterpiece. Rob Williams and his art team have created something here that is as imaginative as an Oscar winning film, but is believable enough to be a documentary. The social commentary is beautiful and rife with touching moments that keep the series grounded in reality and allows the creators to embolden their message. Its clear that Unfollow is just getting started, and weve all just been reminded to hang on for dear life. Read Full Review
Together, the two creators are weaving a saga that's part Social Network, part Battle Royale and very much worthy of your attention. Read Full Review
Overall, Unfollow is a series with an undoubtedly brilliant hook which, while it may have taken a little longer than expected to finally its full stride, finally seems poised to deliver on the potential of its premise.

I'm still very interested personally with seeing where this series goes next and what will happen. However, it's very hard to recommend it when there are just better executed and more exciting comics out there, especially in a monthly format. Read Full Review
This was a book that I was very unsure of after the first two issues. It could have either gone way up or way down in overall quality; because there just wasn’t a lot of story to go off of early on. But with the third issue things got a little clearer, and we actually get to see some of the members of the 140 interacting, and the end of the issue we get the big reveal as to what our “benevolent” dying billionaire has in store for the 140 (which after last issue is the 139, but I’ll get to that part later).
