Steeple #1 | John Allison

I had no idea John Allison had a new comic series started, I feel shamed. I could be biased but I am super excited to continue this. I've read issue 1 & 2 and I'm pumped to continue. The premise is very different from Giant Days but there is a slight familiarity in premise with the mismatch of personality trope. I'm already in love with these characters.

Just reread the issues of volume five. I'd forgotten how much tragedy and panic were in this arc 😭😭😭 Or maybe I'm just more emotional as a mom? Regardless, toddler Hazel, baby Marco, lil Sophie, and the Princeling gave me the grey-haired anxiety. Plus, death 💀 so I'm going to need some more Lying Cat stat 😿😻😽 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #spaceopera

What the heck did I just read?! 👿💥 Seriously, you're going to put the series on hiatus with that cliffhanger?! 😧 I just now realized I had this issue. but rather than feeling satiated on all that's available, I'm left hoping the promised # 17 does come out prior to the # 1 reboot. Overall a weird issue in regard to characters, story, and art. A regrouping was definitely necessary, but I still love them so 😍 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue

Matilda I still have vol 3 to read but I've gone from LOVING this comic to having to decide if to continue. 7y
alanacristin @Matilda unfortunately vol 3 probably won't convince you, but i still have hope for the series! They are such fun characters and have a lot of potential 😍 7y
Matilda Yeah. I'll read it to support Fowler and bc I love the characters but the handling of things hadn't been great and the idea of starting over is strange and I wasn't in love with the sample art of the new one to come so I'm underwhelmed. 7y

This is a big woohoo! Might there be some hope for our friends on BP? but am I the only one confused by helmet dude's behavior? yet again, super fabulous back matter 😍 I'm excited and terrified about the next, post-election issue 💣 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #heygirl

Gah, Bitch Planet, I've missed you 💗 Things are kicking up a notch as Meiko's dad comes to town, er, planet. Also, new info on Kam, her fam, and other off-world inmates. That non-compliant obi fell straight from my wheelhouse 😍 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #heygirl

So excited about this series! The first issue is an intro to the two main protagonists and roller derby in general. I like the setup and love the color 😍 While I love the texture of the paper, I plan to wait for the trade to read the rest. But, ouf, waiting 😬 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #rollerderby

The pacing and plot felt more in sync this issue, but even better --- the camp and cheesy jokes ramped up, woo! It's cheeky in the manner of the live action movie. Also includes another flashback comic in the back matter. I still think I'd likely prefer this series in a trade. #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #riverdale

I super loved Josie as a kid and adored the movie revival in university so I had high expectations. I'm thinking the trade might be a better way to go. This first issue introduces the main characters, forms the band, and not much else. The art is cute. One great plus for the monthlies: an old Josie story with accompanying note tying it to the new run. #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #riverdale
