Yehudi Mercado

A funny, positive graphic novel about being comfortable in your own skin.

Very silly. This one’s only for kids. I knew this was a loose memoir with some magical realism elements, but you can remove Chunky, the monster friend, and nothing about the story changes. This may have worked better as multiple comic strips than one graphic novel because it didn’t feel cohesive to me.

This gave us "By Odin's fade." Let that sit in. Swish it around and let it marinate. And Odin doesn't have a fade in this comic either.

Overall, major cheesefest and stereotypical. Also, no thanks to those trash raps. Shame because the artwork was wonderful and this iteration's Loki looked beyond sharp.

This book is humorous and lighthearted while also encouraging readers to participate in activities that they love. It's important to find your individual passion rather than just doing what other people want you to do, even if it's your parents. I loved the layout of the graphic novel and how the story flowed.
