so-soThis is shorter than I thought and I'm not sure what age group it's aimed at. It uses some fairly technical terms (like “live attenuated vaccine“) but simplifies things a lot. I probably wouldn't super recommend it because it's kinda... neither one thing nor the other. The info isn't wrong as far as it goes, but it doesn't explain things in much depth, despite using quite technical terms.
And that's a blackout! #ComicsBingo
pickI'm not actually sure how I feel about this one, because it kinda depends where the story goes. Jigeon seems like he might kinda be creepy, but... yeah. I guess I'll probably keep reading and see where it goes!

panThis was a bit random and scattered, and I really didn't like that the cannon-fodder didn't have faces at all, just numbers or letters. Just weird.

pickInteresting mix of Carmilla + Chinese folklore that left me wishing for a bit more detail on how the two connect. It seems weird to call it Carmilla when she apparently dies in the first book, so I wonder how final that was, but... I'm not sure I'll keep reading.

pickAhhh, I actually like that this didn't go the most obvious way at the end.
Also, loved that throughout, the siblings are so close and care about each other a lot, even though they don't agree and sometimes talk past each other.
I like the art and character designs, too, but I expected to given Velinxi's work on The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System in English!
#ComicsBingo
Velinxi was the artist who illustrated The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System in English (you might remember me posting my favourites with each chapter I read when I did a reread recently), so I was veeery surprised and keen when I spotted this on Comics Plus! Thank you, library, once more. 🙏
And it'll fill a #ComicsBingo square!
pickThis filled soooo many prompts for different stuff, ahaha. Also I'd say if you're looking for a spooky graphic novel quick read for #HauntedShelf or the #GottaCatchEmAllSpooky, I'd recommend this. It's a bit gory, a bit creepy, the ideas are pretty neat, and I like the art. I'm interested enough to see where the story goes; I'll read the next volume.

so-soI love the colours, though the art didn't quite work for me (something kinda uncanny valley).
Actually, the bit I loved most was the background stuff: each chapter has a bit of information about the real-world stuff the story is based on, and the back has a whole description of the timeline of the world which sounds fascinating. The story itself was unsurprising.
Probably not a series I'll finish, but it was fun to give it a shot.

pickI'm not entirely sure what I just read or what I think of it yet, but the artist was clearly having an absolute blast and loving drawing two trans male MCs having sex and hijinks.
