Sweet and fun. A backstage theatre crew at an all-boys school with some magical creatures and shifting tunnels—this first in a series of comics has a Lumberjanes vibe. Queer content, lots of friendship, a little romance, plus supernatural weirdness. I look forward to the next volume. #LGBTQ #graphicnovel

If you‘ve ever been involved in theatre, you know why this makes me laugh.

Now that it‘s December 1st and snow is on its way I feel okay lighting the Christmas scented candles ❄️

This was a pretty charming comic about a ragtag group of stage crew kids at an all-boys school who deal with the magical dimension beneath the stage and all the trouble that comes with it, but it felt really lacking in substance, even for a first volume.

Week 5 Check-in: I hope graphic novels count, because with these two, I've almost reached my goal! And my foot is back in business with about 160 minutes of exercise this week!

What is great about this comic is how it makes no apologies or explanations for the world it's setting up here. It just welcomes you and basks in its own quirkiness. The charm lies in its warm, friendly characters and its sweet art. I'm glad I picked up the second volume so I can get to it right away!

Megabooks Great review! 5y

I saw this one on #freecomicbookday but decided to get it from the library. Super charming! I am going to keep reading.
