I put aside some time to read this volume only because I was planning on selling it, but it's so enjoyable I'm no longer sure I actually want to.
Like the original source material they come from, these comics are cutesy and humorous while still carrying a surreal vibe to them. Most of the stories included are really short and they don't have much of an ongoing plot, so they're relaxing and easy to read. Each new story also has a different artist, so we get to see the characters in varying styles.
The first issue contains QR codes leading to brief videos so you can hear the same music the characters are hearing. That's probably the most clever use of technology I've ever seen in a comic, and the more haunting melodies definitely add to the tone of the plot.
