From cartoonist Meredith McClaren, Meat Eaters is an awesome graphic novel about the monsters lurking beyond and withing is all. 

It was my first graphic novel in years so I struggled a bit to follow the plot. But the second read helped.
 
The graphism is top notch and the whole book is a gem. This cover catched my eyes initially and I didn't regret it. 

I like the "behind the scene" bonuses at the end of the comic, it gives more information about Meredith's creative process and how Meat Eaters is born. 

My favorite part is definitely the unexpected bond between the three mains characters, despite their differences,  the acceptance and need for bonds and support you can feel between them. I really like the messages that Meredith tried to convey.  And she manag d it well on a pretty fast pace settlement. 

I really rooted for Ashley and I loved some of the "internal monologue" she has with herself when she tried to understand what happened to her and what she became. 

I'll definitely keep an eye to Meredith work for more content.
