I really liked the art style and the 1980s setting, but I think this was just too violent for me. I'm not a huge sci-fi reader; I liked the

time travel aspect but would have preferred less of the monster/alien aspect

, which is just personal preference. I understand that the homophobia is part of the time period, but it was a little hard to read at times.

If you're looking for something with Stranger Things vibes, I highly recommend this! About a group of girls who suddenly get drawn into this time/space/otherwordly conflict. It feels like a Brian K. Vaughan comic to me, and I don't know why it took me so long to pick it up!

The writing is intriguing and with the way it ends, you'll definitely want to pick up the next volume. I'm also in love with the color palette, as it just works so well for the 80s vibe that this book is giving off. While the main characters are 12, I do think they read a little older than that. More teen than tween, honestly. But that doesn't hold me back as I'm sure I will grow to absolutely love them by the time I am finished!

Loved the art work! The story was good (weird, but good) not my type of comic book, but it is worth checking out for 80-90s nostalgia and sci-fi if that's your thing.
