The illustrations are so cute! The story and dialogue got a bit confusing at times, and it was definitely a lot darker than I anticipated.

I absolutely adore the art style of this middle grade comic! ❤️ The characters are delightful too. The story is interesting, but the pacing really needs an editor. Some of the panels are also a bit confusing to read because the speech bubbles are out of order. Overall, I loved watching the action unfold and the story emerge from the woodwork even if it does take a long time to get there. Also enjoying having LGBTQ side characters.
