I adore the odd couple romance. The amazing puns! The simply perfect artistry of the black ink. This is an addicting laugh out load page turner.

With Fangs comic artist Sarah Andersen ventures into 'fantasy' territory. Similarly to her Sarah's Scribbles comics, Fangs consists in a series of vignettes depicting everyday situations...except that in this case the couple starring in these scenes is not so ordinary. She's a three-hundred-years old vampire and he's a werewolf: puns ensue.
Many of the jokes allude to existing tropes/media about vampires&werewolves. So we have a lot of vignettes about blood, dogs, death, coffins, etc. Some of these were genuinely funny, some were a bit silly, and others were just cute.
The simple artwork fits perfectly with this sort of structure and humour. Fangs is a very wholesome and lighthearted read. While it may not be particularly memorable or 'substantial' it's bound to make you smile.

A vampire and a werewolf meet and fall in love. I really liked their relationship, even though in many books, such as twilight, werewolves and vampires hate each other. I loved the puns and especially the joke about twilight. It was fun to read. The only issue I had was that there was very little development, which I can understand being a short graphic novel. Overall, it was entertaining.

This was a short and sweet graphic novel about the relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. I believe the artist has shared snippets of this online before, because I had seen some of the artwork.

This was so quick for me to read, but just because it’s short doesn’t make it a bad thing! The relationship between the vampire and the werewolf was so cute, and even though they were both “monsters,” they worked so well together as a couple. This was filled with cuteness and so much humor, and I loved how the artist portrayed a relationship between two opposite people,

Do you like cute couples? Vampires? Werewolves? HORRIBLE PUNS? Well then "Fangs" is for you!

Sarah Andersen, of "Sarah's Scribbles" fame, has created another wonderful masterpiece in the form of "Fangs", which is a series of short comics and art about a vampire and a werewolf who are very much in love with each other. Elise and Jimmy are super adorable, and neither back down from a pun opportunity at the other's (and their own) expense.

Sort of a "My Giant Nerd Boyfriend", Goth Edition, "Fangs" is funny, heartfelt, swoony, and all around perfect for putting a smile on your face!

I really love the way the characters look, the way they have the old cliches of vampires and werewolves.
It's beautiful and lovely how the author put them together and they stay together it is just perfect.

This is the first book I read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It's a fun read about a vampire girl, Elsie, and her werewolf boyfriend, Jimmy. Is like an slice of life of them, I loved how the author depicted their relationship. It's a simple and cute love story, even a little spooky, and I highly recomend it if you wanna have a good laugh.

The previous graphic novels by this author were cute and fun but this a hilarious take on a paranormal romance couple. Elsie is a vampire, Jimmy is a werewolf, they meet in a bar and thus begins their adorable relationship. All the crazy tropes of each creature are shown although I love how Jim become a cute cuddle wolf when he turns and Elsie putting on makeup or clothes in the mirror that has no reflection. Even insulting each other with "leech" and "dog/mutt" when mad at each other. They are true perfect paranormal creature couple, and I dare you not to laugh at their stereotypical vampire and wolf antics. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and give you a brief reprieve from life.

This book was an absolute joy to read.
In this graphic novel, we are introduced to a werewolf/vampire relationship. These two together make the oddest couple one could come across and yet seeing all those bits from their life was endearing and funny. I feel like most (if not all) the clichés that come to mind regarding these supernatural characters were used here, but I didn't mind it one bit. It fit into the mixture of puns and heartwarming moments very well. 
I can definitely see myself flipping through this book again in future. 

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this compilation! I had only seen a few of the comics before so I got to experience so much more of our vampire and werewolf couple than before. Some of these comics speak directly to my soul and remind me a lot of my own relationship. I’d read anything else by Sarah Andersen in a heartbeat.

I don’t have much to say except that this was absolutely adorable, the art was great, and I want some of those vampire dresses, too.

I really enjoyed this vampire graphic novel. The format was a bit hard to read on my phone but either way I thought it was cool. I'll be looking forward to seeing a physical copy of this book!

Shortest review ever: this was sooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!
Oh, do you need more details? If you must…
"Fangs" has the most traditional vampire I ever read about, and I mean, with every superstition about vampires being true and still being completely devoid of cliches. And that isn't even the best part!
I consider it the perfect story for the digital age, which is to be expected when Sarah Andersen's art rules social media.
This is an adorable love story that never feels guilty about its darkness and whose humor is the perfect mix of cringy and original resulting in an absolutely unforgettable read that will stay with you for far longer than the time it took you to finish the book.
Also, the art! I would kill for some of those dresses.
Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss+, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this DRC.

I love" Sarah's Scribbles" collections of comics, and "Fangs" may be my favorite yet! It's so cute, and does justice of a relationship between a vampire and a Werewolf.. I love both of the characters. (My favorite is probably the panel where they're reading Vampire books and Jimmy pulls out Twilight and Eloise just starts cracking up.).

I love Sarah Andersen and own all of her other books. Her art is so fun and relatable. In Fangs, a werewolf and a vampire fall in love. We see them in their everyday lives together and it is just awww! We watch as their relationship progresses and they love and support each other despite their difference and shortcoming. This is a simple little love story and it is perfect for those that enjoy dark humor, good puns, and of course, all things spooky.
Thank you to NetGalley, Andrew McMeel Publishing, and the fabulous Sarah Andersen for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Things I Liked:

♥ The comics varied from funny to serious topics and this collection had a really good balance between the two.
♥ SO MANY PUNS!

Things I disliked:
♡ I didn’t connect with the characters a ton, but I’m guessing that’s because this was pretty short.
