About the author
Sophie Campbell
281 books237 followersOne of the most exciting and talented creators working in comics today, Sophie Campbell has made her mark on IDW books such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jem and the Holograms.
A graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design, Campbell began her career writing and drawing independent comics primarily focused on the lives of young women from all walks of life, including Wet Moon, Shadoweyes, and the Abandoned. She further proved her versatility as an artist when she began drawing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW, where her kinetic action sequences and distinctive character art were a hit with fans and critics alike.
Campbell was brought on as the first artist on the IDW continuing series Jem and the Holograms, where she was responsible for the modern redesign of the characters and establishing the unique look of the comic. Her work on Jem with writer Kelly Thompson was so well received that the two were profiled by the New Yorker in 2015.
Campbell continues to work on several projects for IDW, as well as her own creator-owned independent comics.

You know what I did?
I bought these 6 volumes on Comixology, back when they were on sale, not knowing what it is, reading the plot and saying hey I might like it, then looking at previews for the artwork and falling in love with Sophie Campbell's style.
I finally read all 6 volumes and now there's a final one, and this one has a cliffhanger that's just so damn good you have to see what happens no matter what, but I'm not going to buy this on digital, because after reading 6 volumes of this series, I need to own the whole thing on print too.
So yeah, it's THAT good.
Great story!
Amazing art!

LOVED IT! MORE MORE MORE!
I've read this series from the beginning and each installment is even better than the previous one. I loved it from the start but you can really see how Ross just gets better and better. This was easily his best one. This series is what I look for in comics. This was excellent.

still way, way too many loose ends and subplots that don't seem like they're going anywhere but there's a lot to love.
the characters feel like real people, albeit extremely angsty ones, but i can relate.
bummed that i got all the way through this series in a couple of days only for "to be continued" and then still no book 7, even 5 years down the line.
extremely glad Cleo's eyes returned to normal human sized though, it was really distracting over the last couple of volumes, every time she was on the page i couldn't stop thinking about whether they were going to take over her whole face. Which is a shame, because I actually really love the art style.
maybe i have a soft spot for a bunch of gay moshers and possibly aliens idk
**idk how to feel about how many people with unusual or missing limbs are in this series though, bc there isn't really any other disability in the series (aside from mentions of vague illnesses cleo and glen have) and on top of natalie's sisters being conjoined twins, it feels a little fetishy, rather than inclusive imo

not sure wet moon will ever really be continued or not—i hope so but i sure doubt it. i'd like to see where it goes from here but relatively few loose ends remain to me—i think it wouldn't feel right without any loose ends. i like all of these and would recommend them but god it's a shame about what happened to the art about halfway through. hard to look at.

I tore through this volume, deeply engrossed the whole time. This is maybe the most emotional this series has made me--everyone's reactions to Trilby being hurt felt so absolutely real and nuanced. As ever, watching Sophie Campbell's style change and grow is a fun aspect of these books all on its own.

i know i can’t stop saying this but why did she change the art ..... why????? it’s not that it’s bad now but it was SO much better before 😩😩😩😩
this series is compelling and intoxicating to me in a way i can’t really describe. obviously i wish she’d kept the same art style throughout but the story continues to get better and better. i wish there were truly a million more of these i could read

I’ve read all of the wet moon series over and over again for the past 15ish years! Words can’t describe how much seeing queer representation with diverse body types meant to me as a teen (and it continues to mean so much as an adult). This is my comfort series. It never gets old. I love the art in the last few books in the series, including this one.

I have no idea what to make of these. I rated them all 2 stars. Yet I read all 6, generally in one sitting, and asked my library to purchase #7 because I have to know how this ends. So. Uh. I don't know why I'm so drawn to something I don't really like.
February 14, 2023
This story has been so good and I have been LOVING the clothes and hair. This artist capture the best expressions I have ever seen. Trilby looks like a real human with braces to me; not an illustration.
January 20, 2024
I finished this volume in record time- I couldn’t gobble it up fast enough. The drama is dialed up to 100 this close to the end of the story and I’m living for it. I immediately started volume 7 so I’ll share my overall thoughts on this graphic novel series in my review on that one!

Good, I'm glad I finally got to finish the story (I already read 7, they came out of order).
December 30, 2023
I'm reading the last volume right now cause I need to know how this ends. Plus finally Cleo's eyes don't look fucking creepy in this installment

It's so nice to see Trilby after the way vol 5 ended. Step down in tension, but we're getting to the end of their stories.
January 5, 2020
The movement from the previous, fifth volume,
Where All Stars Fail to Burn
, to this one may well be one of the most emotionally gruesome and shocking one's I have had in fiction recently. Granted that things took a few turns that I did not necessarily see coming both at the end of Where All Stars Fail to Burn and in the opening of this one.
As with the last couple of volumes, I honestly do not want to discuss plot details here. Too much is happening, and either you have not started the series, and need to go back to the first volume (and perhaps also, in some sense, my review of it), or you have started and only need me to tell you that Campbell keeps delivering along the same lines as previously.

The cliffhanger makes me sad. Hope there will eventually be a vol 7. Sophie Campbell's Patreon says she would like to start work on it
May 17, 2016
I brought this with me so I could read it as soon as I finished 5. So nice to not have to wait on that cliff hanger this time. This book is so sad. Not just Trilby in the hospital but Mara getting disowned by her parents for being a lesbian and facing homelessness. It's lovely the way all her friends stepped in to help. It did feel like a bit more closure than 5 but I really hope Sophie gets back to writing this after she finishes Jem. Re-reading this made me remember again how much I love this series.
Review first times reading
I read the first five Wet Moon books in the space of a couple weeks. Five ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and I was a bit devastated I'd have to wait a whole year to find out what happened to poor Trilby. I had pre-ordered a copy on Amazon but then they didn't ship it to me and told me it'd take one to two months to get a copy after it came out! I went to Forbidden Planet twice trying to find a copy but they were sold out. Eventually I had a different comic book shop order me a copy and was able to get it this week. YAY!!!!
This book is so beautiful and so emotional. The artwork and the layout of the panels is just stunning. The story really sucks you in. The contrast of Trilby crawling through the swamp with the slumber party in the beginning is a brilliant combination of the horror and every day life. The whole book is very depressing and sad. I wanted to give all the characters hugs. The way they reacted to the terrible thing that happened to their friend just felt so real and so sad. But their lives kept going and the things that happened with Trilby weren't the only sad things in this book. One of the things I liked best about this book was that even though the characters were still the same beautiful men and women of the earlier books Ross had somehow managed to totally remove their sexiness as was fitting for the tone of the story. This series is the best one being produced in comics today. Now I have read 6 I am going to go back and re-read all of them. It's such a great story that is developing into something quite scary. But at the same time remains very real. I totally love it.

I read all six released Wet Moons this past week. I wanted to wait until I finished them all to write up a review. Over all I loved these books!
Wet Moon is a series of graphic novels Sophie Campbell formally known as Ross Campbell. The story follows a set of young adults in high school and college, set in a town named Wet Moon. It follows their day to day lives, troubles and trumps.
The books hit on topics of friendship, secrets, grief, pregnancy, domestic abuse, heart break and many more.
Wet Moon celebrates individuals of all different body types, race and sexual orientation. No two characters are alike. They each have their own distinct and very interesting background.
The story kept me on my toes each and every book. I found myself needing to devour the next book...NOW!
I loved that the coffee shop is named Burial Grounds.
The art is fantastic, though the style of drawing does slightly, yet noticeably, change a few times from book to book. The small details are my favorite part.
At the end of book six, I did research into book seven. It has been several years since the release of book six. I wanted to know- will there be a book seven? There is so much left open, nothing has been tied up. I need to know what happens! (I'm having a bit of a Hazel Grace moment here). My research told me that Campbell has had quite a lot going on in her life. After coming out as transgender she has struggled with depression and has found it hard to work on the Wet Moon series because it is so close to her heart. I read a very recent blog post of hers in which she talked about perhaps releasing book 7 as a webzine of sorts. She has posted sneak peaks and "pin up" art of the characters on her blog that have me very excited as to what is to come for the series.

Quite a heavy series to read. It was a little dark and too melodramatic for my liking. There is always a constant build up of questions and it is very slow to answer any of them. Took 6 volumes just to find out what the deal was with Cleo and Vincent.
On the upside, the art is spectacular as always. Sophie Campbell's art is just stunning, and every character has a distinct look, style and overall feel to them. The character development has been pretty great too, though at times it has been difficult to keep track.
I am happy to continue reading this series once more has been released. Though I will not be rushing out to buy it just yet.

If the book hadn't allowed over a year to elapse between the publication of the previous installment and this one, I wouldn't be quite so disappointed in it. I could forgive the fact that this whole book is people sitting around and waiting. Obviously book 5 had a shocking ending, and obviously book 6 had to deal with the aftermath of that event. But it's down to the interminable wait between books that made this book feel inconsequential. And now I've got another year to wait until the NEXT installment.
August 28, 2013
I. Love. This. Series.
I thought this was the last book and was hoping for a conclusion, but alas, I am to go unsated. But also: THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK!! WOOHOO!!...
Ahem, sorry about that *pulls self together*.
It has everything I'm looking for in a graphic novel:
1. Stunning artwork ✓
2. Kick-ass female leads ✓
3. Realistic speech ✓
4. Fantastical components ✓
5. Humour ✓
6. Mystery ✓
7. Genuinely freaky horror ✓
8. Great style ✓
9. Perfect balance of art and writing ✓
10. Relatability ✓
That's 10/10!
Can't wait for part 7!
...And 8? 9? 10?...

I know some people aren't keen on the way Campbell's artwork has evolved over the series, but personally I like that each book feels slightly different. This vol very much feels like things are on hold while we wait to see how the climax to vol 5 will pan out, but in the overall story it creates a natural breathing space. Read back-to-back as I have all six volumes today makes for great reading, and I can't wait for vol 7
July 29, 2014
After how good the last book was, and that nasty cliffhanger, I really expected a lot more from this book. Nothing actually happened. There was a lot of nervous pacing and nail biting and sad faces. But that's it, at least 3/4 of the book is just a lot of waiting around. It became so frustrating I found myself barely looking at the art because I just wanted to skip to an interesting part. I'm still looking forward to volume 7, though...
November 27, 2013
Fallout from volume 5 permeates this book, as one would expect. Story does not conclude in this volume, but the cliffhanger isn't quite so nerve-wracking this time. Excellent series! Campbell's women are as gorgeous in their various individual ways as ever. And I'm obligated to mention the resemblance to Love & Rockets once per review. Good stuff!

Wonderful.
A wonderful continuation of a long running series. Sophie is an amazing artist. The queer and disabled content really feels like the author understands her readers and how she inspires us.

Having been able to plough through the previous books, having waited so long was a little disappointing. I enjoyed the book all the same but feel drawn to re-read the first 5 to bring back my excitement for the series.
July 21, 2016
El volumen más denso de la serie, donde el uso de silencios se utiliza de forma más apropiada para cerrar situaciones y decisiones muy difíciles. Ya desatados los acontecimientos que cerraron la entrega anterior, se revelan las consecuencias y la certeza de que ya nada será lo mismo.
