Seriously, I'm probably going to do nothing but praise this run. Bobby has the perfect personality for a solo series- he's reckless and cracks jokes, but he also struggles to open up (wonder if that's down to the way his parents make him close off so much of himself?) and is just a really relatable character. It was really interesting seeing him interact with Kitty, and I like that it got emotional without seeming fake or cheesy. It just felt like genuine worry an ex-girlfriend had for her ex-boyfriend, wanting to mend bridges and be sure he was okay.
I'm also a big fan of the art, and that there's such a focus on sexuality and the family issues that come with coming out. It's so difficult coming out to your parents, and I genuinely feel invested enough in Bobby's life already that I kinda want to punch his parents in the face. He's such a nice guy, and he just wants his parents to understand him, which they refuse to do. I have a feeling this comic is going to become incredibly important to me.
