This was a bit of a challenging read for me. Besides that, the first volume was visually captivating. Seeing Farrah/the monster’s development throughout this really kept me reading page after page.
Looking forward to reading volume 2

I have nothing much to say about it. It's decent, wanted more from that premise. I just closed the book and never thought about it again until I'm writing this review.

I was interested until it went from new monster creation to full schadenfreude snuff power fantasy.

I really wanted to like this. I think that the concept could be good an the alien/demon/is this thing from "The Faculty" (that probably not award winning movie from 1998, which Fox-TV called "Hip and Scary") is dope.
But listen, Jim Zub, you're a nice dude (seriously) but aaaagh do I really need another white dude commentating on Celeb Culture and the value or lack thereof? I just don't know.

Wow. Finally a graphic novel that provides some societal criticism from a non-white-male perspective! There are some good lines and captivating moments in here.
Did I think the horror treatment did the message justice? Not really. It made for an impactful opening scene, that's for sure: sexism versus tentacles. Yet I don't think it provided the sort of quirky break from the seriousness of the issue that I suspect it was meant to provide. It felt a little flat.
Still, I found this a refreshingly different read from the usual naked-girls-and-tough-guys stuff usually found in comics, and it resonated with my own ideas and experiences.
