Gunnerkrigg Court, Volume 1: Orientation by Thomas Siddell

4.0

I'm so happy this comic was made into a physical book! I've been reading it online for years. It's an amazing series, that explores the divide between magic and technology. In this case, a literal pit in the ground keeping apart a forest of gods and spirits from a city of robots and science. This series balances silly jokes with dramatic conflict.

The one criticism I had during this reread was that I forgot that Renard is kinda creepy towards Antimony at the beginning. She's a kid and he's an ancient fox spirit, so some of the things he says are pretty inappropriate. Thankfully, she doesn't put up with it, and he stops before long. He becomes my favourite character, it was just kind of rocky start.

I'll definitely be collecting the rest of the series!
