Artwork on par and would give it 5 stars. As a OTGW piece, it was dragging and the dialogue/tropes can be repetitive at times. It doesn't work as a standalone because you have to know the context of this story, but as a companion piece to the TV series, it doesn't hold up. We are given the same dynamics of the trio as they are in the school episode, so it doesn't really add much to the story and characters except this time, they're in a cool town populated by wooden dolls (reminiscent of Pottsfield). What made the series so compelling is it felt fresh every episode and more is revealed as we go along, plus the music - it's not as tangible when you're only reading a graphic novel. I am still very grateful I was able to read the companion comics and for that, i gjve it 3.5 stars

We are given the same dynamics of the trio as they are in the school episode, so it doesn't really add much to the story and characters except this time, they're in a creepy theater house. One of the things that made the series so compelling was the music - it's not as tangible when you're only reading a graphic novel, and this comic has a lot of musical numbers.

It really felt like it could have been part of the tv series, it had new elements, clever humor, and fleshed out Wirt's character even more.
I have lived under a rock and have not bothered much with American pop culture so plenty of these were eye opening for me. I'm not being sarcastic, I literally didn't bother with American culture because I'm not American. But now that I live here, I am ready to learn!
I think Tolentino's writing is scrumptious. I wish I could string together paragraphs like she does. They make me feel like I'm not smart at all lol. Much of her essays were factual. I loved her The I in Internet - the subject though much discussed deserves be continue being talked about today. Her essay about her stint with reality TV show was good, a lot of the ideas there are still relevant. The 7 Scams of a generation was brilliant, though i know the complaint is that these aren't necessarily new nor groundbreaking, but for my who's lived under a rock, it was brilliant. Linking religion and drug-taking was...interesting. Though I appreciate the commentary about religion from someone who's been there done that.
The last one, "I Thee Dread", was probably the worst one, as it basically just spews facts about the wedding industry which we all know is a scam anyway, so the whole point of the article was what? Simply that she personally doesn't want to be married, and the wedding industry has very little to do with her decision. If she was talking about why she doesn't want to get married, why talk about the wedding industry? They are 2 non-exclusive things. And so the whole essay seemed to have a dissatisfying conclusion.

Heartfelt. Relevant. An important voice from Palestine.
There are some things towards the end that should have played out differently in real life, but I understand that it was for narrative's sake. Novels are only mirrors, and we cannot see everything in a mirror.
Highly recommended.
