Faith, Volume 1: Hollywood and Vine by Jody Houser

5.0

This is a great first volume! Even though Faith has clearly had adventures before this series (which I kinda want to pick up now too), the exposition is able to give newcomers only what they need and not make them feel like they've missed important parts of her backstory. The writing is cute and realistic, and Faith fits in with a lot of my other fav superheroes. The artwork is also excellent - very dynamic, even when not much is happening in the scene. It certainly proves that a plus-size person is just as capable of sweet smackdown adventures as an athletic hero. As for the tone, it reminds me in parts of Squirrel Girl. So if you like that series you'll certainly like this, and if you didn't...maybe still give this a go! It's not as silly as Squirrel Girl, it's more of a...fantastical whimsy vibe. Highly recommend, will pick up the later TPBs.
