A review by menniemenace
Long Exposure by Mars Heyward
3.0
I've gone through the motions of having feelings towards this graphic novel from meh, it's fine to THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING IN EXISTANCE AND I LOVE IT to huh...? and guess what? It's not over yet.
I love Mitch so very much. It stands against my own thoughts on the healthy development of relationships, but I love him, four jaws and all.
I feel weird when I think of the content warnings; it's supposed to be a mature comic but they only ever kiss, and it supposedly talks about bulimia but it literally hints at it in two panels and then completely gets over it. I'm not an expert but saying "You should eat to have energy" doesn't seem very helpful. The other mention of something triggering is also not fully processed. You can't put traumatic stuff in WOA and then completely ignore them.
I feel like the story is a little under-developed. It's not over, though, so I'm withholding judgement for now. This is just me sorting through my thoughts.
