Had to read the first two chapters for school, found a digital copy to finish it
I really enjoyed the ending of the story, it was kinda hopeful to see those women take a hold of their own futures and for the solidarity among them. The graphics were sick in a good way.

5.0

never in my life has a piece of content and author felt so tailor made for me??? not to mention the amazing work that the illustrator dani does with the very visceral and specific descriptions of body horror.

i did not expect that reveal towards the end, but in retrospect, when you remove the supernatural elements it’s horrifyingly true to life.

i had some issues with the formatting of this but that is likely due to the fact that i don’t read comics.

the characters are fully realized within this very atmospheric world. if you can stomach the heavy topics and graphic but abstract imagery i would highly recommend this.
