Unnatural Volume 1: Awakening by Mirka Andolfo
5.0
I am usually not a huge fan of romance comics, but something about this grabbed my attention. I know Mirka Andolfo from her time working on DC Bombshells, but have never read anything independent she released. From the beginning it was definitely sexually charged but beautifully illustrated. The sociopolitical themes that mirror real life are also extremely present, as Mirka uses this story to hold a spotlight on interracial and homosexual couples and the injustices we face. It’s a simple metaphor that uses quirky, sexy anthropomorphic characters. It’s a fun read, and with each issue, it becomes less romance and more murder mystery. Definitely one of my favorites of the year so far.
