Yayyyy I actually know one of the people who worked on this so I'm so excited to finally have read it!!!

It's a fun story!!! I saw "one shot" and assumed it was entirely standalone and not connected to the "New Scaremester" run, which I haven't read yet, so I was a little lost at certain points but it's fine! I had fun!!

I mentioned in my review of the Pride comic that it seemed a little childish and I wished it was a little more mature and this issue definitely struck a good balance! There's bits that are mkre palatable for a younger audience, like
Clawdeen being insecure about her design work and fashion sense
, but the overall tone was definitely fitting for older readers too!!
