Ahh I'm so sad this was just issue 1 and I can't yet continue to get to know Elle, her many alters, and her fantastic gang of friends.
It was so great to read a story about a young girl with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and to see this repped in fiction. I really felt for Elle and wanted to get to know her and her alters better. Issue 1 was a great introduction to her and I loved the scenes of her and her friends, especially Maëlys who is honestly just the friend everyone needs in their life.
I'm so intrigued to see where this comic series goes and honestly so impressed by the gorgeous illustrative work so far! Glad to see a project like this being co-funded and supported by the Creative European Programme of the European Union. Such an important one for young people, especially, to see and understand that what you're seeing of somebody on the outside reflects only a small portion of what's going on on the inside.
Big love to the creators of this comic! I hope it helps people of all ages with DID feel seen and for those without DID, I hope it breaks down some of the stigma and helps them to understand what living with DID is like. This is definitely a comic I'd recommend to readers of all ages!
