“I'm not going to stand here and be eaten by some b*tch's dinosaur” - Brian K Vaughan 🦖

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Stars 

First of all, the illustrations and the colours in this graphic novel/comic are PERFECT. Visually, this book is stunning. 🖍️

Also, the vibe at the start was SO GOOD! Waking up on Nov 1st to the worst paper delivery morning of the year. Picture the streets scattered in drunk teenagers in Halloween costumes - terrifying for a 12 year old girl right? 👻

Unfortunately, this really didn’t go the route I expected. I’m not really sure what happened. But there was sci fi alien looking creatures, time machines and dinosaurs?? Also if you’re not into gore…this isn’t for you. 🪐

Very cool comic just not for me, it’s very adult. I wanted a Scooby Doo? Like, Halloween goers become monsters in the girls minds but they’re just kids in costumes yano? Not aliens with guns and creepy men. 😂
