Very whimsical kind of world but with a cynical after taste. You get the whole idea that food is gonna be the whole point. I worry that it may devolve into one of those eccentric sports manga where the drama is always going to be centered around food and food events. Which is not terrible but has the danger of becoming stale. This story has just enough mystery built in that I'm gonna keep following. |

This comic is bright. It has these beautiful neon acid trip landscapes and images. A big contrast to the whole apocalypse thing. The writing is both soliloquy and punk rock. The characters are bursting with in-depth backstory and comedic value. This is a beautiful comic all the way around. We follow our loner anti hero on a magically apocalyptic journey to find magic and love in a world that is severely lacking both. All while contemplating the new world order with his old world skill of writing. This intro issue sets that stage with out spoon-feeding us information we already understand about apocalyptic worlds. But we still have moments in the story you have to re-read to really get what the hell is going on. giving you the feeling that there is still a lot to uncover in this world. |

Coda #3 is an amazing work of art. This issue had my heart and mind racing. An eclectic explosion of color, words, and emotion. We see Hum make hard choices to get what he wants. And the looming pressure finally reaches it's bursting point. We get a bit of everything we want in this one magic, battle, character growth, and so much more. Well done, Simon Spurrier and Matias Bergara. I hope you haven't peeked early. |

Menstruation has evolved to an extreme. Women are now a danger to society. The women in your life might turn into giant cats. This comic is so funny and dramatic. Great parody of how coming of age changes how people and the government treat you. I really like how they kinda flip the idea of toxic masculinity. This comic also put menstruation on the main stage and out of the bathroom. We should be more open and understanding of our and others bodies. Can't wait for more. |

These covers are so great (also "Tampon Fetish" you people, come on). True marketing artistry going on right here. Love the dark humor is this book. The story is solid and engaging. Really makes you reflect on other issues facing women in America right now and makes a point to highlight women of the past. Looking forward to more. I want to see which parent, if either will defend her. |

Ahhhhhhhhh the feels are so hard. I relate a little too much to this comic right now. Skottie Young is doing great with issue #1. He has finally pulled back on his sometimes overwhelming dialog and really let the story speak for itself. The art by Jorge Corona is great, it is colorful, gritty and really brings out the emotions. This one will kick you in your heart, but hey I love sad country songs and this is basically the comic equivalent. Looking forward to seeing where this comic will go. |
