I had heard so many brilliant things about this comic book and I must say that I'm definitely intrigued. It presented an intricate and hilarious new world that I'm so excited to dive into with a set of characters that seem complex and relatable. I adore the diverse cast and their weird but awesome personalities. I'm so happy to read a representative comic book with a bisexual writer and a trans illustrator that obviously put so much love and detail into their work.

I can't wait to keep reading the other volumes of this comic book and I'm so excited to see what they have in store for us because this was definitely entertaining and it had a lot of heart. I believe it's a story about the individuality of the characters, about friendship and adventures that I want to go on board in. The art is absolutely gorgeous and it really went so well with the narrative with vibrant colours and sharp lines. I know the next volumes are only going to get better and since this is an introduction I can't really give it 5 starts because I'm not connected with the characters yet but I know I will be in the future. Recommended for sure!!
