having such a big cast of characters also allows for a lot of different opinions and themes and story lines to be explored, the comic really touches on everything and it never feels forced or rushed. and it also never feels like to much, because the story always brings it back to Hazel's family. it is so nice seeing them adapt and change and grow and still keep together.
Hazel as the narrator is great and does a lot for the tone of the story. It helps knowing she got through her current problems, but also with her hinting towards future plot point, makes you feel already nostalgic for things you haven't seen yet.

I could spend this entire review jabbering on about how it's a heartbreaking, sometimes bleak often hilarious paen to love against all odds, or how it genuinely gives me hope for this messed up world of ours that this kind of art is being created.
But instead, I'll just say, read it.
Read it and laugh huge chuckles of the "what the f#ck was that?" variety. Read it and weep uncontrollably at the various harrowing realities laid bare. Read it and see more filthy, anarchic, bloody, raw, wonderful content than you thought could exist in a comic book.
(Note: if you're under 18 and/or of a sensitive disposition i would advise you to ignore this advice. See content warnings)
Thanks, Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan, you cooked good.

This series unambiguously puts the "graphic" into "graphic novel." If you're uncomfortable about anything listed, don't read it. And don't say I didn't warn you. (Dear God there's so many penises)mobymaize's review
