Blood Stain, Sugar

Blood Stain 1-3

Original review.  Holy moley is the pacing for this glacial.  Maybe it reads better as a webcomic, but as a graphic novel, things take forever.  An hour of reading to get through Elliot’s first couple of days at the house.  It doesn’t help that she’s a total spacey flake without much in terms of likable qualities.  Unlike past me, I don’t think I’ll buy any more of these.  (As far as I can tell, volume 4 hasn’t been released yet.)

Regret buying: No

Would buy again: No

Would read again: No

Rating: Didn’t suck

Sugar 1

Original review.  This is still a cute romance the second time around.  Matt Hawkins and Jenni Cheung do an impressive job of making the sugar daddy lifestyle understandable and even relatable.  It’s a shame that volume 2 never came out.  I hope they find an opportunity to return to these characters, with or without artist Yishan Li (who does a splendid job here).
