I loved the illustration and the jokes in this graphic novel. A lot of things about it made me laugh out loud. However, I found a lot of the main characters unlikable. They all seem kind of shitty and mean to each other? I had a hard time episodic with Mickey because they jumped teams, used people, and were arrogant about their talent on the field. I'm glad they had an epiphany to apologize toward the end, but tbh I never really liked them while reading. All the characters seemed a bit mean and shallow. The illustrations were gorgeous, though!
