Dodge City is a cute little comic in the same style as Check Please! And Fence. Action packed and vibrantly colored with a diverse cast. It's all about a dodgeball team initially set up to fail. There is lots of representation in the characters, which is good as the series is specifically aimed at queer teens. Though i greatly enjoyed it as an adult too. ;)
If i need to point out a negative it is the flipside of that same representation. Maybe it's pushing too many different characters at once trying to fill in each specific box to satisfy everyone. And that's my only complaint. The representation in all different forms is ofcourse awesome to see. It just feels a little all over the place.
Regardless i enjoyed this first volume in the series very much. It has much more romance than the first five volumes of Fence and that's a plus too.
