seawarrior's review against another edition
4.0
The Ojja-Wojja is a supernatural mystery about the toxicity of conformity and the hidden violent pasts of many localities in the United States. While the quick pacing and focus on mystery is sure to keep young readers engaged, I wish the book had focused more on characterization. It's rare for autistic and transgender protagonists to exist singularly in comics, let alone as a duo, but the promise of a series gives me hope that we'll get to know these girls more in the future. This first volume is entertaining, gorgeously and expressively illustrated, and definitely worth your time. I look forward to its continuation.
