I really enjoyed this comic I found the characters interesting and loved the color that was used. Can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel!

This was downright adorable and I loved it! I mean it has a girl only fight club that also investigates crime. What more could you ask for? Oh a romance, you say. Well it has that too! Chris was so cute with all her awkward shyness and mega crush on Maggie.

I really love the ideas in this graphic novel and I really love the characters.
The problem for me is the story and the flow. Maybe it's just me, but the transitions were not working well. Instead of visually giving hints at the passage of time or events, there were A LOT of "Fifteen minutes later," in the corners and A LOT of jumping, and this did not work for me. The story itself is fun, but it feels very....abrupt at the moment? The premise starts out so realistic - a teenager working her first job at a cool record shop and finding her place with her coworkers and crush - and very suddenly introduced a vigilante crime fighting group spread across the country fighting crime and later It just...didn't work so well with me, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood. It's fun, though and I might give other volumes a chance if the pacing gets better.
Though, really, I would keep reading just for the really excellent cast of characters. The main character and her crush are very cute and fun, I love all the employees at the store and their boss, and even their families (from what we see) are interesting! Also, the art style is fun.
So I might stick around still, and I really don't wanna discourage others from at least trying it out!

This volume of Heavy Vinyl is so cute. Gayness everywhere and the stakes are still valid while also being cozy somehow. Looking forward to the next installment.
