challenging fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

 This was a trip and I'm glad I delayed reading it (unintentionally, I just kept delaying putting it on hold), because now I have a much shorter wait for the next volume. This was such a wild and creative book - the illustrations were beautiful and the plot was amazing. I don't usually love stories that rely so heavily on the premise of parents (or anyone) withholding a major piece of information, but this was such a good book that I'll forgive it (although a story about baby Milly and Billy using powers would be awesome).

Anyway, if you like weird comics, this is a great read. It's creepy and gory and totally weird. Definitely worth a read.
