Nutmeg Volume 1 - Early Fall: Taste Buddies by James F. Wright, Jackie Crofts
3.0
I also picked this up at VanCaf because of the elevator pitch and the really friendly guy selling it!
Firstly, it was a bit jarring to see several pages of ads between each issue, especially as some of the ads repeated so it felt like overkill. So the ads make the book look a lot more substantial than it is.
There's also only three (I believe) issues in the book, which isn't enough time to get invested or have any sort of plot develop. Usually for the cost of a trade paperback, I'd expect 4-6 issues and at least some sort of arc, but this one very much felt like it cut off in the middle.
I didn't really get a Betty and Veronica vibe aside from the fact that they're high school girls, but the main characters were both cute and likeable. The art is fantastic and I loved the lettering. It's a well-written comic, I just wish there was more in each book.
