A review by ash_hernick
Man-Eaters, Vol. 1 by Chelsea Cain

2.0

The premise is interesting but if I'm being honest it kind of sets off some red flags for me - "Man-Eaters" feels like a comic that isn't going to acknowledge the existence of trans people, despite how much it brands itself as a feminist read. I'm interested in the message of normalizing discussions around periods and puberty (specifically in girls) but the way the ideas are presented feels pretty white feminist and gender essentialist at times. The art is nice but nothing special. I enjoyed the cover art displayed throughout the book, though! I just wish the story itself hadn't set off so many red flags.
