Check, Please! Book 1: # Hockey (Check, Please!, 1) by Ngozi Ukazu

I really liked this comic. First Second Books is publishing some great stuff! This title was funny and well illustrated. I got to know the characters, watch them develop and grew to like them pretty quickly. It is a nice, feel-good story about being a team, trusting your friends, being yourself and growing up.

Barda by Ngozi Ukazu

Great narrative voice but the romance/connection between Scott and Barda was shallow. Maybe he personified freedom to her, which would explain the attraction. Overall, I still enjoyed the story and thought the author worked well with what they had.

3.5

Barda by Ngozi Ukazu

As always, I love Ukazu's art style. I enjoyed the story as well, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if I knew more about Barda and DC comics. Still a good story though.
