Deadly Class Volume 1: Reagan Youth by Rick Remender

3.0

I appreciate Rick Remender writing this book, especially since it's clearly personal to him. It captures high school cliques, insecurity, and the longing to belong impeccably. The art is also fantastic, not only the pencils and coloring, but also the expressive, edgy layouts and mixture of 2D and 3D perspective.

As far as the art, writing, and intimacy of this book go, it deserves more than three stars. However, it "felt" like a three-star book to me because it was three-star enjoyable for me. Given the seriousness of the title, I didn't expect it to be a romp, but it only intermittently tugged at my emotions, which is why I haven't given it more stars.
