Kinda cute one shot story about a group of queer girl’s competing in a VR game competition. Most of them have some sort of romance. I was bummed Tonya got no one. Very sad when the rest of her team was shown with a partner at some point, even if one was just a one night stand.

Still, nice to see bi rep even with Sasha’s comment about dating men being boring. This book wasn’t made for me but other queer people might like it.

The story was fun, and I always love a queer cast. I found the characterization a bit too over the top though and it pulled me out of the story, just kinda annoyed me.

A small poodle is lying on a fluffy blanket with two graphic novels in front of her.

This was a fun and entertaining graphic novel. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. Love that the book is about finding love and kicking butts in a video game world. I also loved the underlying story of Amanda and her mother. This was an enjoyable read overall.

Renegade Rule is an inclusive and action-packed read, perfect for anyone who loves a good sports movie, with excellent art and smart writing that elevates from a simple story of friendship to a world of possibilities. One of my favorite comic reads of the year!

Queers girls playing games and kicking ass pretty much locked me into enjoying this one. I do think it could have used more time, more space. I think the stakes feel a bit artificially inflated. There is no tournament for any competitive game i've ever seen that has no runners up prize. The idea that a game with a grand stage show has no second place prize is so freaking wild to me. That was pretty distracting. I do think we didn't get room for the sapphic romances to really blossom in the book.

The art is fantastic, colors are great, it's a really good book that I think coulda been that level greater with more space or different priorities. It worked well for the space they had though and the team did a good job of fitting in the full story in such a condensed place.
