The Backstagers Vol. 1: Rebels Without Applause by James Tynion IV
4.0
A fun little story with some cool fantasy elements. Basically a boys Lumberjanes.
Art: The art wasn't too special. I like the style alot, the colors are nice, the characters are stylized and all look different, it's cartoony, expressive, and has good panel composition.
Story: The story isn't too crazy, it's mostly slice of life with some mysteries sprinkled in. Alot like lumberjanes again. It is fun and enjoyable though, as I love the setting. The first volume seems to be just setting up things and introducing the characters. I do feel like some of the characters aren't as fleshed out/ don't get enough screentime until the end. I feel like the next 2 volumes will have more story and character moments though.
All in all a fun and cute read!
