 This comic is perfect if you want dark, queer plotline. I love comics because they're dynamic engaging and often give us the narratives that other media lack (or develop poorly). I only wish there were more issues as it feels relatively short, even for a comic. You will have to suspend your disbelief a bit in this novel, but given the premise I don't believe that's much to ask. The heroines in this novel are morally gray radicals. I wish their relationship was explored more, but there is a "happily ever after" that I can accept.

With the ending literally advertised in the title

this a great intro into comics or slump buster if you're an avid graphic novel fan.

2.0

 Eat the Rich follows a young woman meeting her extremely wealthy boyfriend's family for the first time, and immediately being thrust into some pretty shocking scenarios with a bunch of creepy, rich assholes. I liked the general premise of this storyline alright, but it wasn't doing anything for me in execution. I feel like Eat the Rich is one of those rare cases where I really didn't care for a book, but I can't possibly explain why (which makes this a pretty crummy "not really a review" review, so I apologize for that). Between the writing coming off as odd and stilted, the characters feeling flat, and the art not belonging to any styles I particularly enjoy, nothing about Eat the Rich worked for me and I don't believe I'll continue the series.

In this first installment we really just get a taste (👀👀👀) of what's to come, but it definitely made me excited to continue in this comic series from one of my favorite authors!!! I like the art style well enough, and the premise is right up my alley.
