A Must Read

I absolutely loved Snapdragon. It's a coming of age story that has characters growing and learning to come into their own, and it's something I can relate to. The art is gorgeous and cute and the story, though brief, is amazing. The pacing was perfect. It definitely gave me Studio Ghibli/Hayo Miyazaki vibes while reading. And as an artist, I loved how they provided a few pages of the comic process such as character design.

Friendship, Magic, and Being True to Oneself

Such a sweet journey of being an individual, finding one’s tribe, and eventually owning one’s gifts. This was so heartwarming and of course, magical. I enjoyed the graphics and the unique characters.

Wonderful in every sense of the word

Beautiful and strange in the best of ways.
