The representation here is amazing! I love that Nick is Bi, as there is often little to no Bi representation in popular ‘media’, and that is obviously a really damaging stereotype. Also the fact that there’s a trans character, who everyone just accepts for being herself is amazing and wonderful to see: Elle is just herself and that’s absolutely wonderful! (Although I never know if you say her name like El or like Ellie!) 
Overall it’s a very good (and quick) read, and a great intro to graphic novels/comics if you haven’t read any before!
