This was SO fun and in perfect continuity with [the original] Steven Universe series on Cartoon Network/Hulu/whatever. And I'm not just saying that because it's written by an old friend and former roommate, but I AM super proud of Melanie for this.
PS - If you've ever been to the Colorado Renaissance Faire/Festival in Larkspur, you'll surely recognize every scene in the last issue of this volume and smile!

I absolutely loved this book. You can read my full review on Rogues Portal or check out an excerpt below.

Steven Universe Vol. 1: Warp Tour makes a strong argument for why TPBs are so dang cool. This collection of issues allows you to dive into Steven’s world and snuggle up for a little while, hanging out with him and his loved ones while they rescue baby birds, go to prom, participate in a food truck competition, and explore a renaissance faire. There’s also a cover gallery at the back of the book that showcases the different variants of its collected issues, all of which are stunning renditions of scenes from the series.
Warp Tour features several of the characters from the beloved cartoon. Peridot’s total lack of social graces shines in both the baby bird issue and the renaissance faire issue. Stevonnie — Steven and Connie’s fused form — makes an appearance and accidentally ends up as someone’s date to the prom. Even the mayor of Beach City and his laconic, sarcastic son make an appearance, as Beach City attempts to attract food-loving tourists to the town to build revenue in the off-season. Steven’s bright enthusiasm for everything ties the whole book together, which is par for the course, and it’s a super fun read from beginning to end.

This is the sweetest, cutest comic. I loved it from the first story where the artist perfectly captured the hideous/adorable nature of baby birds and it just got better from there.

These comics are just like reading filler episodes of the show. Really cute and fun and full of heart. Now that the show is on hiatus until at least the movie that comes out in the fall, it's nice to catch up on all the printed adventures.
