A review by themichellegray
Coven by Taous Merakchi, Da Coffee Time, Christo
3.0
3.5 stars - A fun witchy-themed graphic novel told through stunning artwork and featuring four MC's who each have their own distinct personalities! I really appreciate that there was LGBTQIA+, larger bodied, and BIPOC representation too - we love to see ALL the diversity!
It did seem like the creators pulled from modern teen classics; Pop's Diner from Riverdale can be seen in the background and the four best friend's that are rekindling their friendship in high school gave strong Pretty Little Liars vibes. While this is a cute nod to those fandoms, I would've liked this to remain totally original.
Even though I don't have any outright negative thoughts surrounding this graphic novel there also isn't anything strongly pulling me towards a higher rating. If you're looking for a fast & fun read this will definitely provide that! (And here's hoping this becomes a series to get to know the entire coven better!)
