This was an interesting graphic novel that felt somewhat like a fever dream. It has Five Nights at Freddy's & Alice in Wonderland vibes with the animatronic the group meets when they enter Confetti Realms. Set on Halloween night, a group of queer teens go to the cemetery to summon a spirit, but find themselves in Confetti Realms, a town filled with talking animals. They're tasked with collecting teeth to bring back to Tom. But, during their quest, they're faced with talking about unresolved conflicts between each other including romance.
This was such an interesting and unique story. Plus, the illustrations were stunning especially with the depictions of the animal characters.
If you liked Finna by Nino Cipiri but want to follow teens, you'll enjoy this as well.
