The art is perfectly aligned with how the story feels. Dream like, breezy, weightless, and soft. While there are definitely supernatural creatures, sword fights and nightmares the overall story doesn't feel dark or hopeless.

I think there are places in the novel where one might want an explanation for how/why what is happening is happening. But the landscape of this world is surreal, much like a dream. You don't need to understand to feel.

A solid graphic fantasy story with stellar art. Mila meets a ghost and is pulled into a quest to save the king of the sea. It's only bogged down by a squashed queer love story. Spoilers as to how below.

ohyeahthatgirl Mila develops feeling for the ghost girl, but it's kind of played off as "yuck" and in the end it turns out she was really falling for the king who was trapped in the girl. 6y

The artwork is gorgeous (& quite unsual) in this one which I really enjoyed. The story is bizarre & very imaginative & not at all what I expected based on the cover art (which, let's be honest, is really what drew me in). One line I found a bit questionable in relation to some of the lgbtq themes, but overall an interesting comic & if nothing else I appreciated it for being the first thing I've read all the way through in the midst of this slump.
