Why Are You Like This? by Meg Adams

I am familiar with the author/artist and have come across some of the panels on Instagram. They have been around a while. I like such collections and decided to give this one a chance.My only issue with this collection is the art. Some of the panels had normal art, which was quite beautiful. The majority…

I have read and reviewed the previous work on the blog : here I once again ended up reading the graphic novels close to my watching of the second movie.
