3.0

More homophobia than anything gay in this story. Don’t understand why it’s listed as lgbt+. I don’t think a side character mentioning their partner or their gay parents qualifies.

it’s a bit confusing this early on, i’m sure it will all make sense later, but i’m reading this after watching the show and the characters translate really well! the art style is so enjoyable and everything about this series is so intriguing!

3.0

A fun mix of sci-fi, horror, and 80's adventure. While not all of the girls come off likable to start, they are complex and relatable. A big recommendation to anyone looking to start in independent comics that are diverse and based more on sci-fi. (Not to mention the art is gorgeous.)

this graphic novel is okay. the art style is cool and i like the concept but it got pretty muddled for me. the characters were all pretty flat imo (but it’s so short so it’s hard to develop them so much). it was also pretty confusing at times. not my fave but still enjoyable

Graphic: Blood and Suicide attempt

Moderate: Blood and Body horror

It very much captures the culture/attitude of kids in the 80s. When the girls swear or make really bad jokes or prejudices remarks, it is intentionally framed as being a result of them being ignorant and needing to learn.
