This graphic novel merges monsters and hockey. We have a minor league enforcer and his teenage daughter who just wants her dad to make it to the big time. Her dad making the big time means she can stop moving and get a chance at the WPHL herself. But she found out her dad‘s got a funny little hobby called monster hunting. And that it runs in the family and that she is more special than she could ever have imagined. This is both fun and light horror. It has cheesy comedy, but the cheesiness works well with the story. The artwork is typical comic style, but the coloring is fantastic and brings the creatures to life both the in this world and the parallel world. Overall, this was a great and I would read something from this author and illustrator again.
