This was okay... It was no Lumberjanes, though, so I'm not sure whether I'll continue reading this series.

I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This definitely seems like an interesting graphic novel with a diverse cast. However, the story arc of this first issue didn't 100% captivate me just yet, but I will be keeping my eye out on the series to see how it improves.

The art of this novel is breathtaking and the story is amazing! This is the first graphic novel I purchased and I will purchase more! I can't wait to read the other ones!

This may be a new favorite of mine. I'm already liking the direction from the first issue. It's a story about a group of kids who are outcast. They are the stage crew for the school's theatre program and they find a magical door to another world beneath the school. It's like theatre geeks and narnia. It's aimed at a younger audience but I still really enjoy it.
Jory is black. I personally love seeing a fantasy story like this with a black theatre geek as one of the main characters. I could relate to some of his anxiety about general interactions with people too. The comic is also super queer. I think there is only one straight character from what I've read.One of the main characters is Trans.
The comic is created by a Bi writer and a Trans artist. I will definitely read more of these comics. I am so excited for more.

Neat story about belonging, friends and following your heart. With actors and monsters, all set in a high school.

This was such a tease!
I was so lucky to get an arc from Netgalley, and I thought I was getting a whole graphic. WRONG! I received the first issue in exchange for an honest review.
I am so excited to see more of these characters and this school. Jory is the new boy in St. Genesius, all-boy school. When he decides/encourage/forced to participates in a school activity, he decides to join the drama club. . . though he doesn't spend any time on stage. He is given the task to find a prop from the stage crew and it set him on a crazy journey down the larger than normal subbasement of the school.
This comic was able to introduced so many different types of boys. I am really excited to see how this comic is going to tackle the gender roles and sexuality. This is a such a funny comic filled with great art, colorful characters, and healthy dose of magical weirdness.
I can't wait to read more.

Super cute. Like Lumberjanes for the theater and boys. Looking forward to reading more issues.

I found this delightful! Unfortunately, I borrowed this digitally from my library assuming it was volume 1, not ISSUE 1, and they don’t have any others, so I feel like I just read the first chapter of a very promising story that I now can’t read. However, that’s not the book’s fault, so 5 stars and if you’ve read this far, thanks for indulging my need to complain.
