Well, this certainly sounded better than it was. It was cute at times, but also quite confusing. I did love the art style and the characters were interesting. But I really had to drag my butt through half of the book. Not going to continue with this series. Also not going to write a longer review. I know how touchy people might get about things.

THIS IS SO GOOD. Funny, action-packed, queer, smart, and badass. "Mostly-platonic" best friend bounty hunters in a sci fi world. It's a little but punk, a little bit Jem and the Holograms. I will definitely be keeping up with this series.

You can't have a strapped-for-cash bounty hunter story without comparisons to Cowboy Bebop but it's a genre that I'm apparently a fan of. This was a fun book and I'll check out volume 2.

Story seemed promising but was way too disorganized. Plot wasn't cohesive and it made it hard to read, especially with my ADHD. It also info dumped A LOT. Fully read about 1/2 the book and skimmed the rest. Disappointed.

3/5 stars! I really enjoyed this fast paced and interesting graphic novel and I'm excited to continue with the series. I love me a good sci-fi story with queer characters
While I did enjoy the story, I did struggle a bit in terms of the art style, not saying that I hated the art style, but I didn't really flip through/the graphic novel before picking it up, so I was expecting something different from what I had seen on the cover. So I did have to get used to the art style -- which I do love.
Another thing that struggled with was learning about each of the characters and their backstories. It felt really disjointed and I'm sure that once I read more of the series, I'll be able to piece together their backstories and get a more cohesive picture of what's going on -- it'll probably get me to relate to the main characters as well. With the disjointed backstory, it was hard to empathize with them a bit.
However, with that, I am still very intrigued and confused enough in the story to pick up more of the series!

Punk rock, bad ass bounty hunters in space. Awesome, I know. And can we say "friendship goals?" Because, yeah. That too. I really liked Kim & Kim, especially for the level of diversity that is represented in the comic. Diverse comic heroes matter, and we get that in spades with our heroines Kim and Kim. We've been getting more and more trans characters featured in comics, and independent/small publishers are definitely the place to look. The story wasn't my absolute favourite, but it was still tons of fun.
