I wanted to ❤️ this comic about a low-confidence woman starting a restaurant in a monster city. But it gets really problematic. Humans have a history of discrimination & violence against monsters. The main badguy is portrayed as fighting against the human chef for being an opressor, but it's never properly addressed & she's just seen as a mean badguy. In the end, there seems to be a message to just get over histories of racism & let it go.
This is my current read for day 2 of #riotgrams! I have really gone all in with the comics thanks to recs from @bookriot and since this one also just happens to be by Sam Sykes and is about cooking, well I just had to have it!
This was a cute comic with fun characters. A great little graphic novel for younger readers
I always love seeing my book stats for the year from goodreads; although, I imagine I'll read a few more books before 2018.
Reread these during a recent headache. I love Brianna and Susan's friendship! If only it hadn't ended after 4 issues!
I just finished off this series yesterday, and loved it! Brianna was a funny, relatable hero and I loved her friendship with Susan. Monster City reminded me a little bit of Nightvale, which was delightful. Also, shoutout for seamlessly folding mental health into the narrative of a story where it isn't the major focus. Its a shame this was only a 4 issue story; I would love to keep reading it!
Finally got a chance to read issue 2 and thought it was really great. I would recommend it to any younger readers interested in comics and graphic novels.
