I was very much anticipating this comic’s release as a trade paperback, and I gotta say, it really could’ve benefitted from a slightly less fast paced story. That said, I did still really enjoy it, but I also feel like so many things happened that I must have missed something. (I also may have read the comic too fast) I will probably read this again soon to see if I missed anything. The concept behind this comic was super interesting though, and the execution was generally pretty good!

The 2 stars are for the art.
This was the worst story I’ve ever read. It doesn’t make any sense.
The girl with no friends meets a few people from work, who later get mad bc she is trying to figure out the secrets everyone’s talking about. BUT they act mortally offended that she’s does? She barely knows them.
It was dumb. And it glorifies all the worst cringey things about the dumb people who took up space at parties.
Detroit parties were underground bc there was no spaces to hold parties. Canada (esp Toronto) had a HUGE scene bc the drinking age was 19. They had spaces for parties. And they weren’t busted up by cops like that. Groan.

I thought this was pretty good. It's about a woman who gets a job working in the subway system in Montreal as a driver. When she gets transferred to the night shift, she starts seeing strange things about a dragon in the tunnels and none of her coworkers will talk about it. So she goes to seek out the truth. The art is very good too.
