From the Eisner award-winning creators who brought you Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet, and Wonder Woman: Historia comes this genre-busting, apocalyptic odyssey about a group of metal kids who face a medley of bizarre foes and encounters in Portland, Oregon during a worldwide pandemic. Riley is a teen that sketches out his heavy metal future with a ballpoint pen between monster movies and band practice. But musical stardom needs to compete with high school, the temper of a former Riot Grrrl mother, the morbid obsessions of a goth sister, and the eccentricities of bandmates that threaten to drive him and everyon more
FML #1 stands out as an exhilarating fusion between a teen adventure steeped in the supernatural against real-world challenges faced during unprecedented times like we all just experienced. FML is the type of comic that allows us to escape into fiction while holding onto some real-life worries. Simply putKelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez nailed this one. Read Full Review
This story has a familiar feel to it but hits you with intrigued and a few curve balls. Kelly Sue DeConnick does a great job of capturing teenage angst, as well as also making us instantly care about our main characters. This issue sets the table for the series, but you realize that DeConnick hasnt even stepped on the gas yet, which is very exciting. Read Full Review
FML #1 is a promising start to a fun new series that blends teenage angst with the supernatural. It's great seeing Kelly Sue DeConnick's snappy writing meet with David Lpez's dynamic art to create this charming coming-of-age story. Read Full Review

FML #1 is a fantastic start with a style that stands out. It goes in with a vision and a voice and executes it quite well. There's tons of questions to ask about it all, and there's some odd things about the kids, but overall, it's a comic that takes a familiar concept and mixes it up for a unique delivery that we're excited to see more of.

Very fun first issue. The art was solid and the writing was great. It really painted the world in a descriptive way that both defines the world and also makes me want to know more. The characters are interesting and well written as well. Very excited about the future of this book.
It was okay, I guess. The writing was descent, the art the same. But it didn't wow me. Plus, $5 price tag, really? Probably won't pick up the next issue.
