The Tangled Web delves deeper into Echo City's mythos. Charles is spending more and more time assisting Margo with adventures around the city involving monsters, but it appears someone - or someTHING - might be influencing the strange patterns of children discovering the creatures' lairs. It explores important themes such as gentrification and homelessness through the lens of both humans and creatures, as well as those discussed in the previous books such as dementia, friendship, and helping others.

Charles and Kevin are excited about the idea of setting up a network of children to help aid the monsters of Echo City; but will doing so put the monsters into even more risk? Someone has been making posts on message boards directing teenagers where to find monsters, and as more of them are driven from their homes, further clashes with the human world are inevitable. Charles wants to aid Margo on her various missions around the city, but she doesn't trust easily and Charles is frustrated by how often she leaves him behind. This comic is exciting, warmhearted, and beautifully drawn; one of the best ongoing children's comic series out there. I can't wait for the next installment!

A fantastic delight, just like the others in the series. I love how Margo and Thompson both grew as character, and I absolutely adored the world building in this one. It expanded so much, and we've still got the mystery of who Eldritch Truth is to propel us forward. A lovely addition.

I enjoy the characters so much in this little quasi-NY city they live in and all the various monster lore. We get some hints to Margo's backstory and the beginnings of a cat-and-mouse chase. There's a mysterious Eldritch Truth that's drumming up trouble for all monster-kind and Margo and Charles. Can't wait for more!
