Okay so the Fake Mom has admitted she's an alien (a Moon Goblin), I don't know if she's admitting it as a scheme or genuinely wants to care for Dany, but she's talking about how the Upper Stratum (the cloud people) have taken good care of the Moon Goblins (the word "Civilized" has not been used but I think those are the vibes you're supposed to get) and she's talking about the things Colonization has provided.

In that panel there is an ad for the "British Art Museum" (the characters are in like Connecticut or somewhere else in the US) and that seems like the most scathing over your head joke you can make in what I believe is a Middle Grade Graphic Novel

To be honest I picked this up a year or two back because I saw that it was by Evan Dahm (Vattu is one of my favorite comics EVER). I'm an ex-Catholic, agnostic on belief, currently more interested in Jesus as Historical Figure than Jesus as Religious Figure. I do not know how someone who is devoutly Christian would feel about this Graphic Novel so please keep that in mind with my review.

Dahm is also seemingly interested in Jesus more as a historical figure (though uh, spoiler for Easter: he comes back). The Gospel of Mark (And some what is it "non-canonical" (?) gospels I'm not familiar with) are used as sources.

The book is in Black & White except for the color Red-- used only for Romans, violence, and Hell itself. It works extremely well. At the end you see a Half-eaten pomegranate, which I believe (without looking it up) is less a reference to Hades & Persephone (though it's probably that too) and more that I believe Figs and Pomegranates have also been listed as candidates for the Forbidden Fruit.

I read it this past weekend because it felt like fitting timing (For those from the future, this past weekend was Good Friday / Easter Sunday weekend), but I think it'd be good no matter the time.

Due to the podcast The Worst Bestsellers who covered the first book in this series ages upon ages ago (and I agree with them, this is a fun series to read) I knew there was a gay couple among the candidates in the sequel series. I assumed it was the "Swendish" (he speaks Finnish) character and his translator because they give off gay relationship vibes to me, but idk I guess that's what fanfiction is for. After I finish this I will DEFINITELY be seeing what fanfiction there is. I am still disappointed the CW passed on this as a series.
