I really really really loved this book! First of all the art is fantasic. I love the style and the beautiful colors used throughout to convey the mood and scenery.

Join Morgan (a bush born human), her roommate BFF Annie (who is bubble born and raised), and a few of thier friends and familiars both from the bush and the bubble as they come together to fight the imps that are rampaging their city. So what is the bush and what is the bubble? The bush refers to the dangerous jungle like wildscape located outside of the government safety city called the bubble or Fairhaven. Morgan left the bush to live a normal life within the confines of Fairhaven. Here is where she decides to be raised - with television, a normal non life threatening job, and friends that she can hang out with. She comes from the bush where her father taught her how to hunt and fight and protect herself from the creatures that live and thrive outside of the walls of the safe city. But enough is enough when one day her father tracks down a beast to its nest in the hopes of erradicating its babies to keep the future of their bush community safe.

Now her past is back to haunt her. Her father has shown up with an army of imps (magical beasts?) to destroy everything she holds dear...or so she thought. Not everything is as it seems with her government and cush life within Fairhaven's walls. But thanks to her loyal friends and comrades, she is about to get to the bottom of the truth.

Highly recommend picking up a copy once it goes on sale!!!

This was such a fun read and the comic managed to pull together a really vivid world with fun characters in just a few pages. The story does a great job of poking fun at the plight of millennials in the gig economy and I am excited to read more about this strange little bubble. There's a podcast that this comic is based on and now I'm left with the choice of spoiling the ending via podcast or holding out for more of these fun and colorful illustrations. Little too raunchy to recommend to a teen but great for adult readers.

Bubble is a fast-paced story that utilizes flashbacks to help the reader understand present conditions. A group of your average, every-day millennials navigate this strange world of beasts that infiltrate their bubbled society with a gig-job through an app. It is like if you worked for Uber Eats but instead of delivering food, you are killing strange monsters for people. You also get a rating that can make or break you. The group quickly gets involved in a conspiratorial plot by the run-of-the-mill evil capitalists and hilarity ensues. I learned this was based on a podcast, so I listened to the first episode. It had rich descriptions which easily brought up the corresponding panels to mind. It was as enjoyable as reading it. The graphic novel follows its original source well, which makes sense considering that Jordan Morris is the writer for both formats. This sci-fi graphic novel is a good read for fans of millennial humor.

Hand this one to adult fans of Buffy. It has a good mixture of fun and action. All of the main characters are enjoyable, and I found myself curious about how the story would play out throughout the entire story. Will definitely recommend.

Exciting and action-packed, this adventurous sci-fi comic plunges us into a post-apocalyptic world, where most folks live in civilized "bubble" cities, while others live in the harsh wasteland of the Brush, fighting monsters and living off the land. Morgan grew up in the Brush, but was rescued as a teenager, and now, several years later, lives in the bubble city of Fairhaven, where she works as an on-call imp hunter, bringing the bodies of her monstrous quarry home to her roommate, who concocts knock-off drugs from the creatures' blood. As the monster attacks on the city become more frequent, and one nearly kills their pizza delivery guy one night, bestowing him with powers, a deeper mystery unfolds. Although the pacing threw me off sometimes, this was such a fun, lewd read with excellent world-building and gorgeous illustrations. Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy!

Hoooo baby am I ever the intended audience for this! I am an avid Max Fun listener (tuppies unite!), a First Second stan, and a millennial (who does a bunch of typical millennial things but also goofs on millennial things). I was a massive fan of the podcast Bubble and I was so excited to return to this world.

This absolutely did not disappoint! The plot moved at a good clip but, as with the podcast, the jokes are really where Bubble shines. There are so many really great clever jokes and a lot of extremely dumb jokes! It was hard not to text my friends about all the funniest parts because that's basically the whole book.

The art is incredible! Tony Cliff brings a very classic comics style while still being really dynamic and neither too cute nor too standard. There are jokes layered in every part of this book! In the text (natch) but also in the sound effects and environments and clothing and side characters. A lot of the material is adapted from the first season of Bubble, but there was some new stuff too! And every single bit I could hear in the character's voices that I got to know so well from the podcast.

I also really enjoyed the interview at the end between Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan (the Bubble team) and the McElroy fam (fresh off finishing the third TAZ comic). I haven't read the third installment yet, but I did read the first two TAZ comics (and listen to that arc on the podcast, though I dropped off later) and they all had some incredibly interesting insights into the process of adapting their work. They also made a bunch of goofs which obviously I love. Six of my favorite dinguses in conversation about comics and podcasts!!

I'm definitely going to order a copy for myself and I will for sure make sure the comics selector buys this for my library!
