I loved this book. It reminds me a lot of Lumberjanes, Giant Days, Heavy Vinyl, etc. The story was great, the characters were likable and dynamic, and the art was really well done. I can't wait till the next volume.

The art style was pretty good, I loved the vibrant, fun colors though. Storyline wise, it fell flat with the rampant stereotypes and cliches. I liked how chill the opposing team was, but having only one practice would not make the avant guard team work that well together, let alone destroy their competitors. Generally it isn't a unique story, yet, hopefully the next volume brings things back down to earth and gives the characters some more depth. I love tiffany though, she is awesome!

Very cute! I'm really enjoying this sudden profusion of queer-friendly children's comics (this series falls very much in the same vein as Goldie Vance, Lumberjanes, and Backstagers, and Fence, Zodiac Starforce, and Heavy Vinyl on the slightly older end). I have to say I expected there to be slightly more basketball in The Avant-Guards -- the first volume is mostly relationship drama -- but it's not necessarily a bad thing to focus on the interpersonal aspect more than sports. Volume one ends on a sudden cliffhanger, so readers beware!
