“Well, Charlie, we're forming a basketball team and need one more player to be eligible.”
“This school... has sports?!”
“Well, no... not yet.”

I absolutely loved the first volume of Heavy Vinyl, Carly Usdin's previous comic, so I jumped at the chance to read what she wrote next, and I was not disappointed! Similarly to Heavy Vinyl this follows a diverse, ragtag group and their wacky adventures, except instead of working at a record store these gals and non-binary pals are playing basketball at an arts college.

I loved everything about this. The characters are such a fun group and their dynamics are all great. They all initially fit neatly into their chosen stereotypes - the witch, the type-A, the optimist, etc. - but they quickly branch out into their own unique characterisation. The main f/f couple was also super cute and I can't wait to see how that develops in the future.

If you want a quick, fun comic with a diverse group of gals and non-binary pals playing sport and forming friendships, then you should definitely check this out.


I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
