I liked the simple panels and artwork, but this is definitely an adult comic collection. Not as in everything is just super mature, but the storylines would appeal more to adults going through similar things (granted, there’s the metaphorical bit with our characters being cyclops)

I followed this comic on Instagram, where it premiered, and I'm so happy with all of the extras that Aminder included in this book. I love the character notes at the end, and the whole thing just really makes you think. If you love this one, be sure to pick up her previous book, "Woman World!"
