I love the webtoon and have just got the physical book to reread again and again! It's everything a batfamily fan could want for a cozy afternoon of found family fun - slice of life, light-hearted and absolutely delightful.

There were some minor formatting issues with the physical book when compared to the webtoon (I know it's because of the change in format but still worth noting that somethings could have been tweaked a little better) but it really was only here and there not noticeable if you're not looking out for these things, and was still completely worth getting! I'm completely charmed with the little tidbits in the back, I love seeing sketches - overall very good book.

Suppose regular Batman comics are an all-meat diet where things are dark, gritty and all about the mission, crime and action without a moment to breath in between, WFA is a meal consisting of pure cotton candy. It's all the bits of character interactions between the Bat-family that we wish would balance out the majority of comics.

Unfortunately, it really does veer a little too far in the opposite direction, perhaps because of the format or simply the niche it's decided to sit within and not venture out of. Very safe, very sweet, but there's not a lot else there.
