This is something I bought on a whim and because I am a huge Bryan Lee O'Malley fan. I did not have huge expectations but I was wrong. Not only is the artwork sublime, the story is super funny, interesting and tragically real. Don't get fooled by the character on a first glance.... This series has a lot of potential.

I had some issues with the text, but wow, the illustrations are so incredibly good. The colors are amazing. My eyes appreciated this.

Wow, this was definitely interesting. Firstly I absolutely adored the artwork and I really loved the main character. I am quite confused by the plot of the book, but I have finished the book desperate for more which is always a good sign. I would have liked for the book to make a few things a little clearer, but overall I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to read the next one!!

This was fun and full of satire… not life altering, though. I did enjoy but got a lil bored close to the end; maybe this is one to reread when I’m feeling like a chunky series <3

I like the story and the story, but I wished they had explained a little bit more of what is happening. I haven’t really gotten a lot of information since the first paces.

This had been on my radar for a while. While I like Brian Lee O'Malley's previous works okay, I also had some problems with the whole man-child trope of Scott Pilgrim. I think that's why I had put off reading this for so long. The woman who works at one of my favorite comic book stores recommended this one to me, so I figured it was time I give it a try.
I liked it more than Scott Pilgrim. It's definitely pop-y and very apt for this time.

Suprisingly no ped-philia from Brian. Might have inc-st when they finally realese the other one. Felt like they were trying to avoid gay stuff but gave in from the bullying.
