A review by ljrinaldi
The Backstagers #1 by James Tynion IV, Rian Sygh

3.0

The only way to describe this is weird. This is supposed to be a story about what goes on to the people who do the props and such for the actors, those backstagers who don't get any of the glory for keeping all the props working, and things in running order so that the play can be performed without a hitch.

At least that is what the book description says it is about. And I suppose it is, but adventures in other realms is thrown in, with strange rats that only live backstage, and like the color red, and weird beasts the third door down. Much like LumberJanes, this series appears to go off the deep end.

Nothing wrong with going off the deep end, but don't write a description that says it is just about boys bonding backstage, because it is more than that.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
