Bought because I played the first game and am currently playing the second game of the same name and love the idea and game play. The book was cute and fun. You also get the one paged original comic in the back. Worth it for some Halloween light reading. I should've had candy nearby...

Thankyou to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very cute middle-grade-YA-ish comic with some really important ideas about wanting to fit in and hang out with the "cool kids" (who probably aren't that cool in hindsight), and about true friendship, these things are obvious to me now but when I was the target age for this kind of comic I really didn't get it. The art wasn't really for me (it was quite sketch-y) and the story was quite simple but it did have some good stuff in it.

Probably not the book you want to read to try and get out of slump

Oni Press rarely does me wrong, and this is no exception. It's basically a story about a group of Grubbins - sort of monsters, sort of kids (but what's the difference, really? ha) - who travel from their home world to the human world in their search for Halloween candy. It reminded me of Ahh! Real Monsters with just a little more tenderness and heart. I hope there are more adventures for these Grubbins in graphic-novel form.

Not bad, but not really good either and certainly not for me. I didn't like the illustrations or the story, like I said not because it's bad, but for personal preferences. My liking, 1 star, overall work around 2,5 maybe, so I will go with 2.

When I seen this on NetGalley, I knew I wanted to read it for the cover art alone. I love this bold and vibrant style of artwork, and was immediately drawn to it. I loved the story, and felt like it would be a perfect Halloween read for middle-graders. The main characters were hilarious, and completely likable. And just as I thought I would, I simply adored the artwork the whole way through.

Funny, quirky, and cute. Super happy the story subverted the "leave my friends for the popular kids " trope. I feel like I understand the characters personalities very well with only a few pages. The friendships in this story are so cute. I'm excited to see these characters in a cartoon soon.

Super cute. I really liked the art too (kind of Dungeon-y?). Yay monsters!
