Great writing accompanied by fantastic art and STUNNING colours. I especially loved

all of the drug-induced hallucinations in the last issue

.
However, for me the violence was sometimes a little too over the top (even though I know this is a book about murder) and I could've done without the homophobic slurs. I understand this is set in a "different time" and can add to the characterisation of whoever is using this language, but I honestly believe you don't have to use it to make your point. There are other, more subtle ways to achieve the same effect.

i really liked this first installment! (and the second, this is a review for both) the art and colors gave everything a distinct vibe, the introduction to the characters and world were compelling. saya is very hot. yes the characters are very stupid sometimes but they are also 15. and the craziness just draws you in. don't know why the author keeps on writing about poop situations tho.

ok the cons. i get the most people seem to be a racial stereotype is kind of like. an even playing field and once you get to know the characters you find out they have more to them but like. it really seems to play more into the female characters. saya and maria are such stereotypes it hurts sometimes. maria especially like. the fans and the makeup are really cool! why didn't you give another character a distinct fighting style like that? 

ok time to go put the most content warnings i think ive ever put on a book before

Very 80s, very subculture, very anti establishment, very dark. Main dude is a hispanic youth who is living on the streets when he gets recruited to join a school for assassins. He HATES the government and most societal structures. He blames them (and honestly is rather valid in blaming them) for his parents deaths and everything that befell him. His main assassin goal is to kill ronald ragean cause fuck that guy. Our little 14 year old protagonist is putting the president #1 on his revenge hitlist. The scene where they are in Vegas tripping HARD on acid is hilarious. Definitely gonna keep reading this series.
