It's been about a year since I read the first volume of the Kim Reaper series and I've forgotten almost everything about it.

Kim is actually offscreen for the bulk of the story and it focuses instead on her love interest Becka and Becka's best friend Tyler. Becka is super cute but she's...a lot. She's one of those people who's always excited about everything and who exhausts me, both off and on the page. You can practically watch my introvert-meter plummeting as I'm around them. She's also unreasonably jealous of Kim's friends for someone who's alone in her bedroom with her best friend and ignoring Kim's calls in the opening scene.

The artwork is cute but I don't think there are any further books in the series. They're quick reads so if you're interested in the idea of a young grim reaper, it's worth a try.

I loved this. The art style is very clear and crisp and it just adds to the reading experience. I love the characters, especially the introduction of Charlie.

This continues to be very cute. Is it a super compelling or complex plot? Nah. But the art is adorable, the relationship is sweet, and this volume introduces a black non-binary (vampire) character who uses they/them pronouns! I look forward to more of this. The cutest spooky comic you can find. (Though "Valley Ghouls" by Kate Leth comes the closest.)
