Sunstone, Vol. 1 by Stjepan Šejić

4.5

---

Sunstone, Vol. 1 is very much my kind of comic. I absolutely adore Stjepan Šejić's art style and the characterisation is wonderful. I'll admit, when I first plucked this from the top shelf of the comic book shop I used to frequent before I moved away, I wasn't too sure exactly what I was letting myself in for. I half expected this to be little more than an amusingly naughty throw away read. I was, delightfully, incredibly wrong. Reading these two characters embarking on their first flirtations was so endearing and the comic does a superb job of steering away from becoming particularly smutty. Upon this re-read I wasn't quite as enamoured as I was during my first time, perhaps because the element of surprise is now missing. Make no mistakes, this is still an extraordinary comic though and I still really enjoyed revisiting where these characters journey began.

4.5/5
