    Rare Flavours is devilishly delicious. Ram V and Filipe Andrade turn up the heat on a tale worthy of Gaiman or Bourdain. Read Full Review

    Journey into Rare Flavours #2, where we get an inside look at a spicy chili gravy dish as hot as the adventure gets in this very issue. While the narrative continues to lack a central conflict and a definitive direction, the story continues to intrigue as a demon meditates on life and lessons lived. Read Full Review

    I really want to like this series more. I just don't get all the talk about it. It's enjoyable. It has an interesting concept. I just feel like I missing something.

    Much like Laila Starr, Ram V's Rare Flavours feels like museum art. There are a lot of industry people who rave about it, while I stand there staring at it and try to figure out why I don't get it. All the cool kids are loving it, why can't I?! It's a decent read, but I don't think there is anything inherently unique or special about the story itself or the inclusion of recipes in storytelling. It all just comes across as fine.
