Thank you Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
I guess this might just be a product of it being a comic that'll release in bits, but it was really short and a bit confusing overall. It's a very good setup with great characters, but it ended right as it started to go into the story after the setup so I don't really have much to review in all honesty.
A group of queer teens are just trying to live life through severe homophobia and transphobia while a missing person has turned up dead. Evading having the crime pinned on them, the teens must try and survive in a world that might literally become hell.
I really can't say too much about this, the bigory is quite explicit throughout and while I imagine it is a setup, the background to why at least one of them keeps actively seeking it out isn't explained at all. Pretty much *nothing* is explained even slightly.
I think this feels like a trailer for a show/movie kinda thing, that sort of vibe and amount of content to it. It's most certainly interesting enough to make me want to read more, but on it's own as a product to buy and then have to wait for the next bit feels a fair bit bare bones in my opinion.
