Ridiculously cute and entertaining, this reminds me of the Lumberjanes mixed with Gravity Falls! I can't wait to see what Kim and Becka get up to next!

What happens when a super positive up beat girl crushes on a goth cutie? She follows her through a portal and discovers she is a grim reaper, part time to pay her way through uni, hilarity ensues! It’s a fantastically fun comic with wickedly good eyeliner! 10/10 will recommend!

This was so cute!!

Mega Super Cute!!!

If you enjoyed Lumberjanes, Moonstruck, Coady and the Creepies, or Space Battle Lunchtime then I think you will enjoy this too. It definitely gets a bit ridiculous at times [like when a super muscley dude with 500 cats shows up] but it's a lot of fun and I'm definitely loving this new trend of cute/hilarious/paranormal/queer comics that have been coming out lately. Definitely recommend this!

I was initially drawn to Kim Reaper after seeing the cover. It’s adorable!

Kim Reaper follows Becka, a university student who has a crush on Kim, a girl in her class. After class one day, she follows Kim to ask her out to the pub, then finds out that Kim is a part-time grim reaper. Shenanigans ensue as Becka tags along with Kim while she’s working.

This book was adorable. I especially love Becka’s design. She’s brown, chubby, and her hair is up in buns reminiscent of Sailor Moon. Her belly is visible, but it’s never brought up, and it made me so happy that this fat girl could exist and go on adventures without her body being an issue.

The plot was simplistic and felt rushed to me. Becka and Kim overcome their obstacles fairly easily, and it never felt to me like anything was at stake. I also wasn’t super into the dialogue at parts, but it didn’t keep me from reading further.

Overall, Kim Reaper: Grim Beginnings is a quick, lighthearted read. It’s not very deep plot-wise, but is still very cute and gay, and sometimes that’s just what you need.

This was such an amazingly fun read. It was a light-hearted adventure and it was quite funny. I really enjoyed the sense of humor and the relationship between Becka and Kim.
If you're looking for an adorable and light graphic novel, this is a good choice.

Cute and utterly absurd! Becka, a girl-crazy art student, discovers that her crush is actually a part-time Grim Reaper... and winds up dragged into Kim's supernatural adventures. Reads like a mash-up of Giant Days and Lumberjanes, but without the ensemble cast.

2 stars.

Meh, this simply just wasnt for me. It wasnt bad at all. The illustrations were good, the two main characters ended up being cute together. But the story itself, though funny a bit at times, I donno. Just wasnt for me but I can see why others enjoy it and I really liked that it was lesbian themed too.

I really enjoyed this. The concept is really great and very unique. The art style and the romance are very cute. I only felt like the writing was a bit simplistic at time and some moments just moved a little fast. I can't wait to see how this series is going to continue though.

I am sad to say that I did not enjoy it. The art is super cute and colorful, exactly like Steven Universe. However, I find that I did not enjoy and connect to the characters, especially Becka, and the story feels allover the place and tries too hard to be quirky. I think others will enjoy it, but not me.

Oh my heck, did I love this little book. I just finished it during the #24in48 readathon and I just need to dump my brain before exhaustion takes over my love of this book.

Kim is a part-time grim reaper, full-time cutie. Becka is adorable and enamored. When Becka gets up the courage to ask Kim out for drinks and accidentally follows her through a portal, hijinks ensue. Mix in an octopus, zombies, some of the greatest dialogue I've read recently, and the Board of Grim Reapers, and you've got a fun, adorable series. Graley's art is so amazing and the dialogue was sheer perfection. I already can't wait for the next installment. I will definitely be purchasing this the second I can.

If you need a quick, fun, light-hearted, diverse read, look no further.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me the opportunity to read and review.

A great first bind up of the Kim Reaper series. I loved the characters and loved the way that the LGBT+ story line was weaved throughout. The art style was great and the characters were drawn so cute. I loved Kim and thought she developed really well over the course of the story. It wasn't long enough for me as i wanted more about these characters right away!

Light, silly, and fun.

Becka crushes hardcore on her classmate Kim, and accidentally discovers that Kim is a part time grim reaper when she falls down a portal Kim opened. Becka is kind of a goofball, so hijinks ensue as they get into one weird situation after another.

Even though this is set in college/university it would appeal to younger teens.

I follow this author on instagram so I knew ahead of time that I'd like the artwork. I wasn't prepared for how much a I absolutely loved this story.

This little book is ten thousand percent adorable. The art and style reminds me a bit of the spooky-cute books in the late nineties like Lenore from Roman Dirge and the Nightmares & Fairytales. Granted, the story isn't super deep, and things move fast, but I really enjoyed the fast-paced shenanigans between two girls crushing on each other while dealing with ghouls and reapers and zombies.

Good clean lesbian fun, with little drama. I'll definitely be following this title as long as they're writing it.

What a wild ride, holy shit!! I was honestly in love from the very first page when our protagonist said she definitely is at uni to stare at btfl girls... I mean, talk abt relatable content!!

So yeah, this is a story abt Becka and the goth girl she has a crush on, Kim, who's a grim reaper. Totally no big deal, that happens all the time, right. They get into some hilarious & ridiculous shenanigans together, it's truly a great fun! But one of the things I loved most is that Becka is very unapologetic in her beliefs and gets to call Kim out on her bullshit one or two times. Pls, get me more bi heroines of color like that!! Cute and strong, that's my type.

The art is also real fun in this one, doesn't take itself too seriously which works out Great with a story like this one!!! A truly amazing choice.

I will definitely buy a physical copy of this & oh boy, I can't wait to see how this story further unfolds.

Kim Reaper was a graphic novel I needed the minute I read the blurb. Grim reaper with a twist plus f/f romance at its core!! Yes I wanted it!!

Kim Reaper is told from the POVs of Becka & Kim. Becka has crushed on Kim for a long time and finds the courage to ask her out; only she witnessed sometime she wasn’t expecting and is pulled into a world she doesn’t belong to. Kim is a grim reaper and enjoys her job. However life is about to get complicated!

Honestly I enjoyed this graphic novel. I found it fun & quirky and I couldn’t help but want Becka & Kim together. Their characters were delightful and realistic. Becka has her moments but to be fair it was understandable giving the circumstances and it made her appear more human.

The romance was adorable I won’t lie. I shipped them. I liked the diversity elements of the comic. Becka is a poc of color who is also queer. Possibly bisexual or pansexual it’s never started. Kim is also queer. Of course this made me enjoy the comic that much more.

The art was unique and wonderful. It was very clear that the illustrator put a lot of time into developing the pictures and different scenes.

While there was a lot I liked there was also a lot I didn’t. I grew irritated while reading at times. Mostly towards the end. While the beginning was great everything started to go down hill in the middle and towards the end. This comic lacked a plot. Nothing that happened made much sense and wasn’t explained. It made the comic appear undeveloped and frankly all over the place. The artwork & characters were amazing but not enough to ignore the plot. The first two issues started out fantastic but after it went down hill.

Overall, I did enjoy this graphic novel. However I can’t look past the lack of plot which in turn brought my enjoyment down as the comic went on. I’d still recommend for the diversity elements, romance and artwork if nothing else.

I hate giving negative reviews. But unfortunately, this book was just not my cup of tea. I picked it up thinking the cover art was adorable, and the story concept sounded like a lot of fun. And most importantly it was written by Sarah Graley who I ADORE!!! (If you haven't heard of her, go pick up Our Super Adventure IMMEDIATELY. It is the greatest)

While I did enjoy the artwork throughout, I found that I could not finish the book, because I really didn't enjoy the writing style.

It was not bad. By any means. Again- super cute art- super cute concept. Just not for me.

Freaping adorable!

Becka is totally crushing on the goth girl at school, black-clad, purple-haired Kim. What Becka doesn’t know – that is, until she inadvertently follows Kim through a portal and interrupts a cat reaping* – is that Kim wields a scythe and is the only human reaper in employ down in hell. Can their budding romance survive Kim’s super-intense, yet just part-time job? How about a buff cat guy high on energy drinks? One of the girls’ death-dates? A zombie apocalypse? Yes, this all transpires in a mere 114 pages, and it is as weird and wonderful as it sounds.

KIM REAPER is, in a word, freaping adorable. Okay, that’s two, but Kim would excuse me. Becka and Kim make a cute as heck couple, and the bizarre obstacles that inexplicably pop up in their path will just have you rooting for them all the more. I mean, two cute girls? One of them a reaper? Crushing on each other, kicking butt, reaping souls? What’s not to love?!?

Also, some of the over-the-top emotional panels are reminiscent of the SARAH’S SCRIBBLES series, which only ups its cool quotient imho.

The only odd thing is that the writing feels a little young – like tweeny – even though the girls – err, women – are in university. It has the vibe of a middle grade story with a YA/New Adult cast.

* Bonus points for imparting a sort of personhood to nonhuman animals, even though it probably wasn’t meant as a political statement or anything.

This is a fun, quite ridiculous story, but I mean that in the best way possible.

I did feel it started a little slow, but picked up quickly; I believe this is because at first, I wasn't sure where the story was going to go or what the point of the opening scene was, because it was just of Becka crushing on Kim, and I hoped the whole book wouldn't be like that, because I found it boring.

Luckily, there is so much sustenance to the book than just crushes. (Not that there is anything wrong with having crushes!) It doesn't have any full out romance, but there is hints of some for later volumes.

I liked both of the main characters. I'm curious to see what happens in the second volume. I wasn't sure I liked the art style at first, but I did end up liking it a lot and felt it fit the tone of the comic.

Even though there is certainly a grim undertone to everything, Kim Reaper is nothing short of adorable. From Becka's goo-goo eyes for Kim to the hysterical Cat-Dad, everything in this graphic novel was wonderful. The art work fits the storyline perfectly. There was not one moment where I found myself growing bored. I mean, I read though this entire volume in one sitting. And once I was done, I was looking to see when I'd be able to read what happens next.

I would definitely recommend this graphic novel to anyone who admires zombies, ghouls, & the underworld. All with a touch of cute to go with it.
