- Did you ever date another werewolf?
- Yes, cute girl, but could turn into a real bitch.
- Clever.
- And did you ever date a vampire?
- Yeah! He sucked.
This was the cutest, funniest thing I’ve read in such a long time. It took me minutes to get through but it will take me forever to get over this. Absolutely perfect.

This was a cute, quirky and entertaining read!
I loved seeing the relationship dynamic between a werewolf and a vampire. I especially loved all of the puns associated with both.
The art was simplistic but also adorable and definitely kept my attention.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this graphic novel!

I’d like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have always been a fan of Sarah’s work, and this was no exception. I also have always been a fan of vampire books so the two combined was a win win. She made the story very cute about a female vampire meeting a male werewolf and what their relationship would look like. I hope there is a second volume.

Talk about a book you can read in one setting! I absolutely LOVED it. It's adorable, it's hi-la-rious and I'm definitely buying a copy to reread as many times as I want.
My favourite thing about Fangs is that it tells an entire (love) story, only with no real plot. It's just short jokes about daily life that Sarah always makes so funny. The punchlines hit every time, the characters are loveable and just so darn cute and every fan of Sarah's usual work will definitely adopt these two dorks.
Basically Fangs is something completely fresh yet completely Sarah. 5 well deserved stars.

Fangs is the adorable love story of a vampire and werewolf who begin dating. As Elsie (vampire) and Jimmy (werewolf) learn about their partner’s quirks and preferences, there is always a strong sense of underlying humor. I thought the art style fit the story tone well and honors the characters’ personalities nicely. I found Fangs to be very clever and relatable. Anyone with a penchant for vampires, werewolves, or simply a sweet love story will enjoy this funny compilation from the author of Sarah’s Scribbles. Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Penned by Sarah Andersen, the artist behind the popular SARAH'S SCRIBBLES, FANGS is the story of a three-hundred-year old vampire in the body of a 26-year-old goth girl who falls in love with a charming werewolf she meets at a bar one night. As such, there is more of a narrative thread than in the SARAH'S SCRIBBLES collections, but the comics are still very much situational vignettes. The two works have Andersen's signature humor and wholesomeness and a lack of coloring in common, but that's about it: FANGS is a little more PG-13, there is less social awkwardness, and the art style is less cartoonish, with a slight manga quality.
Most of the humor and sweetness is due to how Andersen plays different vampire and werewolf myths against each other, exploring how that would impact dating life, as well as how the two characters, Elsie and Jimmy, handle their differences. It's silly, lighthearted, amusing, cute, and just plain fun—I personally prefer the semi-autobiographical SARAH'S SCRIBBLES, but these can be just as relatable and tender: FANGS essentially consists of twisty little romantic comedy portraits about two people who are great for each other despite their fundamental differences.

I am in love! This graphic novel is perhaps the cutest love story ever told. It features a bunch of one shot comics (each page being one incident) throughout the relationship of a vampire and a werewolf. It is incredibly cute, very funny and just a fantastic feel-good read. Vamp and Jimmy are both extremely likeable characters and I instantly fell in love with both of them. I loved watching their relationship unfold and it just brightened my whole day. I 100% recommend this if you like funny, cutesy graphic novels with a lot of humour and heart.

Review to come August 15th.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I was just flailing around when I saw this book on Netgalley. OMG, Sarah Andersen has another comic? How did I miss this one? How could I miss it? It features her great art and a werewolf and a vampire dating and all that comes with that.
These two meet at a bar and instantly have an attraction. I had a big laugh at how the wolf guy seemed to wonder about her 300 age at first but when she said she looks like 26 he was OK with it. :P Throughout the book we see the trials, the romance, and more that entails a romantic relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. Because it isn't always easy for either of them. They can't have romantic dinners (she doesn't eat and I don't think you want to put steak in front of him), she sleeps during the day, he cannot show her to his friends (who are seriously wondering if she exists). But there are also other things both of them have to keep an eye out for. Like him opening the curtains at morning and almost burning his girl to a crisp. Or her touching him with a silver ring. They have a lot to learn about each other and it is not always easy. But they do try their best to make things working. And I had so much fun reading this one.
Their conversations had me laughing so hard. They talk about everything under the moon. From religion (he is one with nature... she worships Satan) to past relationships to drinking blood to being a werewolf (and he is such an adorable and fluffy little ball of cuteness who with just one pet goes from hunter to OMG belly rubs). Plus, I love how Sarah drew them in those conversations. She in the shadows, he half light half shadow. That is a really nice touch.
I loved how you could see that he was a werewolf without him changing into one. From changing squirrels to him scratching at the door at the mention of walkies. Oh boy. It amazes me no one ever found out he is a werewolf. I guess they just thought he was weird. :P
Can I say I just love her fashion sense? I want some of those dramatic dresses as well!
All in all, I definitely want to add this book to my collection, and I hope that we get more of these two because I would love to see them get married (though good luck finding a place that works for both of them). I would highly recommend it.

Witty and lovely. This is totally different from Sarah Andersen's previous work (which I adore 😍).
Jimmy is a werewolf and Elsie is a three hundred years old vampire. They meet in a bar and... boom! It seems like the both have finally found their other halfs.
I love the clever and dark humor of this comic. Elsie and Jimmy couldn't be more different, but at the same time they have a lot in common!
In summary, Fangs is about the daily lovely and awkward moments two people have when they start a relationship. Especially when they're perfect for each other despite their notorious differences.
You can also read Fangs on Tapas. It's a daily webcomic. Although, I think reading it all at once, especially on hardcover, must be the best option.
In case you want to read it online, Sarah Anderesen has published a "wicked playlist" you may listen to while reading it: Fangs on Spotify

I've just read this in one sitting after a long day, and after procrastinating on the webcomic for way too long.
Sarah Andersen's humor is exactly what I relate to, especially in this one. She plays around a lot of stereotypes about vampires and werewolves, and depicts a happy and healthy relationship between the two characters. Puns are also on point. The art is different from what we are used to, but the style really suits her too.
This is the graphic novel I never knew I needed.

This was a very fun read. Slightly dark but still hilarious.
It's more of a series of fragments from the life of these two than a coherently plotted story, and that's what let me down, just a little.
The art style is lovely and I really liked the characters, especially Elsie's sense of fashion.
Definitely recommend if you like all things paranormal.

I am a huge fan of Sarah Scribbles so when I saw that Andersen was making a new comic about a vampire and wolf I was all over it. This comic was originally released on Tapas, a free webcomic site. So if you do want to continue following this work go check it out there.
I loved this comic. It shows the progression of the relationship between a vampire, Vamp, and a werewolf, Jimmy. I loved the art style of this comic. It was beautifully drawn and each panel is packed with a lot of emotion.
I couldn't git enough of these two! I really hope she continues to write Vamp and Jimmy’s story because I really enjoyed this. Also I think we need more paranormal daily life comics!

As soon as I heard Sarah Anderson was coming out with something new I wanted to get my hands on it. Fangs is her typical short comic format, but this time we're following a vampire and werewolf as they begin and grow their relationship. Many of the comics had the perfect combination of humor and heartfelt sentiments as they navigate their life together. There were as many moments that made me laugh as there were moments that made me say "awwwwww." This is a great addition to her collection of works and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future.

This is cute! I said last week that I wanted to read more werewolf comics. Then this showed up as Read Now on Netgalley! I don’t say no to serendipity. This is less a full-fledged narrative and more a series of unrelated/funny panels about a vampire/werewolf relationship. Very punny and lots of humor related to vampire/werewolf lore (jokes related to silver, coffin, thirst for blood, doggish behavior, disappearance in a mirror, etc). The art style isn’t super complex (it’s not as detailed as, say, THE TEA DRAGON SOCIETY) but it suits the humor. I’d describe it as black and white illustrations with sparse, clean lines (see the cover).

Quão irônico seria um relacionamento entre um lobisomem e uma vampira? É essa a premissa do quadrinho, e o resultado é hilário. Acompanhamos as eventualidades de um relacionamento normal, mas nas condições desse casal se torna um tanto quanto peculiar e essa é a graça. As piadas são muito bem pensadas e criativas.
A arte é bem bonita e minimalista o que agrega um charme a mais na leitura. O tipo de livro que indicaria a todos, sem exceção... É garantia de entretenimento e risadas.

Fangs is odd and funny. It tells the story of love between a vampire and a werewolf. The black and white drawings and sparse dialogue seem simple but the underlying relationship themes are complex. Teens will enjoy this book. It's sure to spark the Team Edward/Team Jacob debate all over again.

Things I Liked:

♥ The illustrations were lovely, with so many fun tiny details!
♥ 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.

I'm a massive fan of Sarah Andersen's "Sarah's Scribbles" books so when I saw this was available to read now I instantly downloaded. I loved the premise, a graphic novel all about a vampire & werewolf falling in love, but I didn't really click with this. I think my main issue was that this wasn't in any sort of order, each page was just a small snippet out of the main characters' lives and I didn't like how it jumped around so much. I did find myself laughing throughout as this had typical Sarah Andersen humour!
Overall, if you like weird but humorous comics, I would recommend checking this one out!

A vampire-meets-werewolf romance from the creator of Sarah's Scribbles. Andersen's style here is far less manic and cutesy than there, but it's still not exactly Love Like Blood; though they do build to an a very sweet whole, the pages each also work as a vignette or gag strip, relationship vignettes filtered through her being centuries old and him prone to howling at the moon. Sufficiently adorable that if it does become a default present in goth couples, that won't be undeserved.

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.

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.

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.).

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!

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.

While not an active follower, I've always loved Sarah's work and Fangs was no different.
The book is a collection of short comics about a couple - a vampire and werewolf, going through their quite quirky and unique life. It's lovable, hilarious, and surprisingly relatable, especially, given the species difference between us humans and the supernatural creatures of the night.

I read the other cartoons of the author and they seemed super cute, adorable and fun but this new humor that she showed in "Fangs" enchanted me as you don't have an idea~.
Elsie's story focuses on how a vampire as dramatic and cool as she lives her day to day with the fierce but adorable Jimmy, who in turn is a werewolf.
This story will fill you with laughter and joy, guaranteed! Elsie is extremely sarcastic and special, the kind of weird girl who just makes your day simple and fun. And Jimmy ... Oh, Jimmy is ADORABLE! Her wolfish behaviors will get you more than a smile, you are seriously going to love him!
Although the graphic novel showed curious LITTLE moments in the life of these two wonderful characters (and although I would have liked there to be more bullets or more of them), the truth is that I LOVED with all my heart the story, the drawings, the characters and the dialogues!
Normally I don't tell dialogues a lot but Sarah managed to put a touch of irony and sarcasm on Elsie and Jimmy and the truth is I can't ignore how wonderful that was~.
I seriously recommend it too much, hopefully I will follow the story in another tome because Elsie and Jimmy stole my heart.
This review is also on GoodReads in spanish and english.

Unlike her previous works, I really loved this book. To me, it was way better because it has a better art style and it’s about the romance between a vampire and a werewolf in the XXI century. Jimmy and Elsie are complete opposites but they understand each other because they’re creatures of the night. Ultimately, they do not hide their primal instincts around each other, and more often than not they share cute, adorable and whole-some moments that made me smile like an idiot from the very beginning.
This book was a light-hearted reading that shows the perks of being in a relationship with someone that is good to you, that complements your personality and who accepts you for who you are.
"Dogs can be leashed. But a wolf chooses to stay."
If you’re already familiar with Andersen’s comics, you know she has just the right amount of humor and fluff in every page. And of course, as a vampire lover, I must add that I loved Elsie’s clothes and personality! On the other hand, Jimmy was such an easy-going guy that I can understand why she fell in love with him. Both of them are adorable and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this graphic novel if you have the chance to read it!

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.

Ugggh, I'm such a huge Sarah Andersen fan! I love Sarah's Scribbles to death and I've been in a halloween mood lately since it's evidently my coping mechanism. And so this book is literally my destiny!
I love the art in this! It's so easy to love these characters with the short comic style and it makes things look so fun.
Vamp is so funny, she's the vampire I only dream of being. She's super dead, loves being dramatic, black dresses, and hilarious on point jokes.
Jeremy is also the funniest werewolf. He's like a loyal dog, who loves you, doesn't lie to you, just sits and wants cuddles and to be scratched. But is also a person, a hot one. Perfection. I loved their dynamic and antics together.
Anywho, this is such a comfort read that I really needed. I'm definitely getting this when it comes out!

- Did you ever date another werewolf?

- Clever.

- Yeah! He sucked.
This was the cutest, funniest thing I’ve read in such a long time. It took me minutes to get through but it will take me forever to get over this. Absolutely perfect.

I’d like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have always been a fan of Sarah’s work, and this was no exception. I also have always been a fan of vampire books so the two combined was a win win. She made the story very cute about a female vampire meeting a male werewolf and what their relationship would look like. I hope there is a second volume.

Talk about a book you can read in one setting! I absolutely LOVED it. It's adorable, it's hi-la-rious and I'm definitely buying a copy to reread as many times as I want.
My favourite thing about Fangs is that it tells an entire (love) story, only with no real plot. It's just short jokes about daily life that Sarah always makes so funny. The punchlines hit every time, the characters are loveable and just so darn cute and every fan of Sarah's usual work will definitely adopt these two dorks.
Basically Fangs is something completely fresh yet completely Sarah. 5 well deserved stars.

Fangs is the adorable love story of a vampire and werewolf who begin dating. As Elsie (vampire) and Jimmy (werewolf) learn about their partner’s quirks and preferences, there is always a strong sense of underlying humor. I thought the art style fit the story tone well and honors the characters’ personalities nicely. I found Fangs to be very clever and relatable. Anyone with a penchant for vampires, werewolves, or simply a sweet love story will enjoy this funny compilation from the author of Sarah’s Scribbles. Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Penned by Sarah Andersen, the artist behind the popular SARAH'S SCRIBBLES, FANGS is the story of a three-hundred-year old vampire in the body of a 26-year-old goth girl who falls in love with a charming werewolf she meets at a bar one night. As such, there is more of a narrative thread than in the SARAH'S SCRIBBLES collections, but the comics are still very much situational vignettes. The two works have Andersen's signature humor and wholesomeness and a lack of coloring in common, but that's about it: FANGS is a little more PG-13, there is less social awkwardness, and the art style is less cartoonish, with a slight manga quality.
Most of the humor and sweetness is due to how Andersen plays different vampire and werewolf myths against each other, exploring how that would impact dating life, as well as how the two characters, Elsie and Jimmy, handle their differences. It's silly, lighthearted, amusing, cute, and just plain fun—I personally prefer the semi-autobiographical SARAH'S SCRIBBLES, but these can be just as relatable and tender: FANGS essentially consists of twisty little romantic comedy portraits about two people who are great for each other despite their fundamental differences.

I am in love! This graphic novel is perhaps the cutest love story ever told. It features a bunch of one shot comics (each page being one incident) throughout the relationship of a vampire and a werewolf. It is incredibly cute, very funny and just a fantastic feel-good read. Vamp and Jimmy are both extremely likeable characters and I instantly fell in love with both of them. I loved watching their relationship unfold and it just brightened my whole day. I 100% recommend this if you like funny, cutesy graphic novels with a lot of humour and heart.

Review to come August 15th.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I was just flailing around when I saw this book on Netgalley. OMG, Sarah Andersen has another comic? How did I miss this one? How could I miss it? It features her great art and a werewolf and a vampire dating and all that comes with that.
These two meet at a bar and instantly have an attraction. I had a big laugh at how the wolf guy seemed to wonder about her 300 age at first but when she said she looks like 26 he was OK with it. :P Throughout the book we see the trials, the romance, and more that entails a romantic relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. Because it isn't always easy for either of them. They can't have romantic dinners (she doesn't eat and I don't think you want to put steak in front of him), she sleeps during the day, he cannot show her to his friends (who are seriously wondering if she exists). But there are also other things both of them have to keep an eye out for. Like him opening the curtains at morning and almost burning his girl to a crisp. Or her touching him with a silver ring. They have a lot to learn about each other and it is not always easy. But they do try their best to make things working. And I had so much fun reading this one.
Their conversations had me laughing so hard. They talk about everything under the moon. From religion (he is one with nature... she worships Satan) to past relationships to drinking blood to being a werewolf (and he is such an adorable and fluffy little ball of cuteness who with just one pet goes from hunter to OMG belly rubs). Plus, I love how Sarah drew them in those conversations. She in the shadows, he half light half shadow. That is a really nice touch.
I loved how you could see that he was a werewolf without him changing into one. From changing squirrels to him scratching at the door at the mention of walkies. Oh boy. It amazes me no one ever found out he is a werewolf. I guess they just thought he was weird. :P
Can I say I just love her fashion sense? I want some of those dramatic dresses as well!
All in all, I definitely want to add this book to my collection, and I hope that we get more of these two because I would love to see them get married (though good luck finding a place that works for both of them). I would highly recommend it.

Witty and lovely. This is totally different from Sarah Andersen's previous work (which I adore 😍).
Jimmy is a werewolf and Elsie is a three hundred years old vampire. They meet in a bar and... boom! It seems like the both have finally found their other halfs.
I love the clever and dark humor of this comic. Elsie and Jimmy couldn't be more different, but at the same time they have a lot in common!
In summary, Fangs is about the daily lovely and awkward moments two people have when they start a relationship. Especially when they're perfect for each other despite their notorious differences.
You can also read Fangs on Tapas. It's a daily webcomic. Although, I think reading it all at once, especially on hardcover, must be the best option.
In case you want to read it online, Sarah Anderesen has published a "wicked playlist" you may listen to while reading it: Fangs on Spotify

I've just read this in one sitting after a long day, and after procrastinating on the webcomic for way too long.
Sarah Andersen's humor is exactly what I relate to, especially in this one. She plays around a lot of stereotypes about vampires and werewolves, and depicts a happy and healthy relationship between the two characters. Puns are also on point. The art is different from what we are used to, but the style really suits her too.
This is the graphic novel I never knew I needed.

This was a very fun read. Slightly dark but still hilarious.
It's more of a series of fragments from the life of these two than a coherently plotted story, and that's what let me down, just a little.
The art style is lovely and I really liked the characters, especially Elsie's sense of fashion.
Definitely recommend if you like all things paranormal.

I am a huge fan of Sarah Scribbles so when I saw that Andersen was making a new comic about a vampire and wolf I was all over it. This comic was originally released on Tapas, a free webcomic site. So if you do want to continue following this work go check it out there.
I loved this comic. It shows the progression of the relationship between a vampire, Vamp, and a werewolf, Jimmy. I loved the art style of this comic. It was beautifully drawn and each panel is packed with a lot of emotion.
I couldn't git enough of these two! I really hope she continues to write Vamp and Jimmy’s story because I really enjoyed this. Also I think we need more paranormal daily life comics!

As soon as I heard Sarah Anderson was coming out with something new I wanted to get my hands on it. Fangs is her typical short comic format, but this time we're following a vampire and werewolf as they begin and grow their relationship. Many of the comics had the perfect combination of humor and heartfelt sentiments as they navigate their life together. There were as many moments that made me laugh as there were moments that made me say "awwwwww." This is a great addition to her collection of works and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future.

This is cute! I said last week that I wanted to read more werewolf comics. Then this showed up as Read Now on Netgalley! I don’t say no to serendipity. This is less a full-fledged narrative and more a series of unrelated/funny panels about a vampire/werewolf relationship. Very punny and lots of humor related to vampire/werewolf lore (jokes related to silver, coffin, thirst for blood, doggish behavior, disappearance in a mirror, etc). The art style isn’t super complex (it’s not as detailed as, say, THE TEA DRAGON SOCIETY) but it suits the humor. I’d describe it as black and white illustrations with sparse, clean lines (see the cover).

Quão irônico seria um relacionamento entre um lobisomem e uma vampira? É essa a premissa do quadrinho, e o resultado é hilário. Acompanhamos as eventualidades de um relacionamento normal, mas nas condições desse casal se torna um tanto quanto peculiar e essa é a graça. As piadas são muito bem pensadas e criativas.
A arte é bem bonita e minimalista o que agrega um charme a mais na leitura. O tipo de livro que indicaria a todos, sem exceção... É garantia de entretenimento e risadas.

Fangs is odd and funny. It tells the story of love between a vampire and a werewolf. The black and white drawings and sparse dialogue seem simple but the underlying relationship themes are complex. Teens will enjoy this book. It's sure to spark the Team Edward/Team Jacob debate all over again.

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

I'm a massive fan of Sarah Andersen's "Sarah's Scribbles" books so when I saw this was available to read now I instantly downloaded. I loved the premise, a graphic novel all about a vampire & werewolf falling in love, but I didn't really click with this. I think my main issue was that this wasn't in any sort of order, each page was just a small snippet out of the main characters' lives and I didn't like how it jumped around so much. I did find myself laughing throughout as this had typical Sarah Andersen humour!
Overall, if you like weird but humorous comics, I would recommend checking this one out!

A vampire-meets-werewolf romance from the creator of Sarah's Scribbles. Andersen's style here is far less manic and cutesy than there, but it's still not exactly Love Like Blood; though they do build to an a very sweet whole, the pages each also work as a vignette or gag strip, relationship vignettes filtered through her being centuries old and him prone to howling at the moon. Sufficiently adorable that if it does become a default present in goth couples, that won't be undeserved.

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.

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.).

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!

5 Stars ( I received an e-arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review)
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.

While not an active follower, I've always loved Sarah's work and Fangs was no different.
The book is a collection of short comics about a couple - a vampire and werewolf, going through their quite quirky and unique life. It's lovable, hilarious, and surprisingly relatable, especially, given the species difference between us humans and the supernatural creatures of the night.

I read the other cartoons of the author and they seemed super cute, adorable and fun but this new humor that she showed in "Fangs" enchanted me as you don't have an idea~.
Elsie's story focuses on how a vampire as dramatic and cool as she lives her day to day with the fierce but adorable Jimmy, who in turn is a werewolf.
This story will fill you with laughter and joy, guaranteed! Elsie is extremely sarcastic and special, the kind of weird girl who just makes your day simple and fun. And Jimmy ... Oh, Jimmy is ADORABLE! Her wolfish behaviors will get you more than a smile, you are seriously going to love him!
Although the graphic novel showed curious LITTLE moments in the life of these two wonderful characters (and although I would have liked there to be more bullets or more of them), the truth is that I LOVED with all my heart the story, the drawings, the characters and the dialogues!
Normally I don't tell dialogues a lot but Sarah managed to put a touch of irony and sarcasm on Elsie and Jimmy and the truth is I can't ignore how wonderful that was~.
I seriously recommend it too much, hopefully I will follow the story in another tome because Elsie and Jimmy stole my heart.
This review is also on GoodReads in spanish and english.

Unlike her previous works, I really loved this book. To me, it was way better because it has a better art style and it’s about the romance between a vampire and a werewolf in the XXI century. Jimmy and Elsie are complete opposites but they understand each other because they’re creatures of the night. Ultimately, they do not hide their primal instincts around each other, and more often than not they share cute, adorable and whole-some moments that made me smile like an idiot from the very beginning.
This book was a light-hearted reading that shows the perks of being in a relationship with someone that is good to you, that complements your personality and who accepts you for who you are.
"Dogs can be leashed. But a wolf chooses to stay."
If you’re already familiar with Andersen’s comics, you know she has just the right amount of humor and fluff in every page. And of course, as a vampire lover, I must add that I loved Elsie’s clothes and personality! On the other hand, Jimmy was such an easy-going guy that I can understand why she fell in love with him. Both of them are adorable and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this graphic novel if you have the chance to read it!

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.

Ugggh, I'm such a huge Sarah Andersen fan! I love Sarah's Scribbles to death and I've been in a halloween mood lately since it's evidently my coping mechanism. And so this book is literally my destiny!
I love the art in this! It's so easy to love these characters with the short comic style and it makes things look so fun.
Vamp is so funny, she's the vampire I only dream of being. She's super dead, loves being dramatic, black dresses, and hilarious on point jokes.
Jeremy is also the funniest werewolf. He's like a loyal dog, who loves you, doesn't lie to you, just sits and wants cuddles and to be scratched. But is also a person, a hot one. Perfection. I loved their dynamic and antics together.
Anywho, this is such a comfort read that I really needed. I'm definitely getting this when it comes out!

Um I'm obsessed. This is the cutest graphic novel detailing the love story of a vampire & werewolf. The comics are SO cute, and I love the sass. I want a few of these art pages framed!! The fashion is great - a physical copy of this book is a must! I usually don't go for graphic novels but I'm so glad I picked this one up!
