Welcome to Litsy!

Talk about all the feels! This had me laughing, wincing, aww-ing and cheering from one panel to the next. The use of video game imagery is very effective, especially since my own daughter often talks about “leveling up“ in her life. It's lovely to see Lewis go from trying to win stereotypical “man points“ to winning points for letting himself be himself.

I loved Lewis Hancox's first volume of GN memoir, and this continuation is just as good, following his ongoing transition to his authentic self.
I liked the Northern idioms in the first volume, which I think are slightly toned down in this one, but it might just be that I don't notice them so much as they're familiar.

I picked up a stack of graphic novels from Leyland library. It has the best selection of GNs of the three libraries I frequent. Excellent librarianing! ✊
I'm starting with The Witcher Omnibus, Them Escape from St. Hell, then whatever piques interest next.

As a fan of Welcome to St. Hell, I was thrilled to find out a sequel dropped! This installment of Lewis Hancox‘s graphic memoir sees him starting hormone therapy, leaving home, starting college, dating as a trans man, and, above all, learning that being a man doesn‘t mean putting on a winning persona, but being himself. It was a bit tedious watching Lew frequently make the same mistakes, but it made him finding his way all the more satisfying.
