This should have been 10000% my thing, but it was just not good. Art, dialogue, etc.... Just... Feh

This comic was interesting and I really like the idea of it! A gender flipped, contemporary Hamlet retelling with queer characters! The murder was also intriguing as I thought I knew who the killer was throughout but the ending completely through me off! However, there was something about the comic where I couldn’t get fully engrossed in it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find myself connecting with the characters and I found it difficult to read on because of that. Nevertheless I do want to find out who the murderer is so I might pick up later volumes!
Thank you NetGalley for giving me this ARC!

I didn’t know what to expect when starting this book. I don’t often read graphic novels but I would like to read more.
This was a nice graphic novel, I was interested in the story. It is a mystery, they try to find the killer(s) of their fathers. The art style is great and made it fun and easy to get through.
I was intrigued and would like to know how the story develops further.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc!
I went into this with little knowledge on the graphic novel or author but enjoyed it more than I thought. Although the story felt a little rushed and sometimes confusing in places. I found it left me wanting to pick up and read the next edition after ending on a cliffs hanger. I found the characters, enjoyable but not loveable. I also enjoyed the tone and style of the graphic novel.
I read afterwards this is supposed to be a queer retelling of Hamlet which does infact help it make a bit more sense. Looking forward to seeing what's next in the series.
