Tyson Hesse's Diesel #1

Tyson Hesse's Diesel #1

by Tyson Hesse

What’s to Love: We’ve been big fans of Tyson Hesse ever since we first discovered his webcomic Boxer Hockey. After cover stints on Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors, we put him to the test with the tricky mixed-media art style of The Amazing World of Gumball and he just crushed it. Now, we’re excited to be working with him on his first original series, a coming-of-age story with a cool fantasy airship twist that fans of Tank Girl, Rocket Girl, or Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle are sure to enjoy!

What It Is: Dee Diesel isn’t very good at anything. The daughter of the late Tungston Diesel, she has yet to live up to her father’s great reputation. Her rival has inherited control of her family’s airship and left Dee the only job she’s qualified for: working in a two-bit garage. But all that changes when a mysterious flying engine crashes into Dee’s life and takes her on a journey through the skies.

Cute! Diesel is delightfully illustrated with a silly/fun feel to it. I think this one can be categorized as "all-ages". It's entertaining.

Cute, funny, loved the art. I like the way racism, privilege, and disparity are portrayed.

3.5 Stars. Very short and I have no concept of what's going on but I like the style and characters so far.

The art and setting were brilliant! Story wise, it could be interesting but there wasn't much content in this issue and I felt like it abruptly cut off.

I will pick up issue 2 to see how the story progress, I hope it has more content plot wise and is overal a smoother experience to read.

I hadn't heard anything about this series before it randomly showed up as a suggested Hoopla read but if you're looking for just a fun, irreverent steampunk read, it's definitely worth your time!

Excellent art, incredible characters, and clever wit. Highly recommend!

The art is cute, the main character is cute, but it felt like an overly long tantrum that happened to occur on an airship. Not too much substance to go along with the cuteness.
