I liked the art and that was it. This book and whole series was jarring and uncomfortable for me. Super grim dark and not my jam. I'm sure it's fine if you like super melodramatic and violent and depressing things.

I got this book from my Secret Elf!
"Leslie is a simple pig girl. She loves sushi, she’s stuck with a job she hates, and she lives under a brutal totalitarian government—one that punishes transgressors for anything deemed “unnatural.” Leslie dreams of something different for herself. But those dreams are becoming dangerous… This Italian hit series by MIRKA ANDOLFO (Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, DC Comics Bombshells) will transport you into a colorful but terrible world—full of anthropomorphic creatures, but light on personal freedoms—by way of a breathtaking plot that travels between thriller and fantasy, with a hint of sensuality."

I knew I wanted to read this comic ever since I saw the sneak peek in the April Issue of Previews. An adorably chubby pig girl is having erotic dreams about a Wolf man. What more could a comic blogger who grew up on Harry Potter fan fiction want? So when it became available to review I jumped at the opportunity.
Unnatural is about a pig girl named Leslie that lives in a time where the government is not only overbearing but passing laws and regulations that push a particular type of relationship on its citizens. Sound Familiar? Dating outside of your species is illegal. Dating the same sex inside of your species is illegal.
If you’re single, then your taxes are more expensive than other citizens who are in relationships or who are married. If you are unmarried by the time you turn twenty five, you are placed in the government’s Reproduction Program, where they find you a mate.
Leslie works as a waitress in a small restaurant with wayyy too small uniforms, and lives in an apartment with a mouse girl and her pet dragon. She just wants to find her place, and find true love.
The biggest reason I wanted to read this is I’ve never read a comic with an erotic tilt to it, and this comic definitely delivers that. I think it’s a very unique point of view and speakers volumes about the type of situation same sex couples and single people are in in this day and age. They always say that great art is indicative of the time it was created in, and Unnatural is no exception.
I love the art. Clean, smoky and moody, it lays the perfect groundwork for your feelings during this comic. All the colors are in a cool tone and it definitely gives the appearance of dream state. The writing is pretty good too, and since both are done by Mirka, I can’t wait to see what comes next for Leslie.
The Verdict: 9.0/10

Leslie, the pig girl, hates her job, working at a diner. She lives in a totalitarian society, where nobody is allowed to have „unnatural“ relationships. So, only your own species and the opposite sex. Problems ensue.
I like the artwork well enough. The story of issue #1 was ok, but didn‘t really tempt me to continue.

I am planning on reading lot more comics this year as compared to last year.
For comics, there would be only ratings no elaborated review going forward.

I was originally drawn to this series because of the striking covers; though I’d like to say that it was especially the color palette that really caught my attention. The colors a muted and beautifully blended and overall I just really love the look of it.
I didn’t realize until reading the author’s note at the end that this series has been published before. So if I wasn’t feeling lazy I could easily track down the rest instead of having to wait. I’ll probably wait it out, but we’ll see if I change my mind later.
This is an interesting series. It’s sort of like Animal Farm, in that it’s using anthropomorphized creatures as a tool for social commentary. The subjects covered are actually very heavy, making the beautiful artwork somewhat deceptive.
Essentially these characters live in a world where the government heavily controls their sex lives and reproduction. With a society full of different species, you can imagine how quickly that sort of governing could get out of control. And how many laws a controlling government could come up with to get a ‘handle’ on it.
There’s a bit of fan service being done here, but honestly it isn’t that bad, so if that tends to bother you or turn you off from a series I’d urge you to give it a try anyway.
