Chaotic kitties are always a win in my book. We all love silly cat videos on the internet, imagine if those cats had minds of their own? The humor in this comic is very classic, it feels reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. A fun, lighthearted read.

Check out behind the scenes of this cult classic all ages story featuring Comedian Steve Harvey and crimestopper Roopster Roux once again bring justice to their town by fighting a new threat-Victor Vain. Convinced the world would be a better place if everyone looked exactly like him, Vain has turned Woodville citizens into the spitting image of himself! It's up to Steve Harvey and Roopster Roux...

Not gonna lie, I came for the Steve Harvey and stayed for the rooster on a skateboard! It's a fun weapon to use against the bad guys and I think really creative! Plus, I do like chickens and roosters as a character type. It does feel reminiscent of certain cartoons I've seen before, so it's got a familiar feel that makes it easy to sit down and read. It's fun with silly characters and unpredictable victories. Enjoy!
Freaky 1/2, 44 pages - Published by SK6, (cc/ @KohariAsh)
Welcome to Bonanbona! Victoria Vespera is the best hunter in the land! Or so she thinks. One day while walking in the Great City of Bonanbona, she discovers another hunter trying to hunt her down! Who is this mysterious hunter? (not so mysterious) but more importantly, why does Victoria have a reward on her head?!

SO CUTE! I adore this manga so much, as to be expected from the SK6 group, all of them make incredible work. It's an exciting first chapter with lots of action, and character growth. I'm really eager to see more! With some overzealous hunters, who need a bit more practice, some adorable wolf-children, there's lots of goofy characters in this one!
A Kat's (GOD AWFUL!!!) Blessing, 84 pages - Published by Patricia Barton, (cc/ @Patricia-Barton)
Katherine Jones, a seventeen-year-old high school girl, unknowingly found herself being tested by the gods to see if she was deemed worthy of their holy blessing. Good news! She passed! Bad news? The blessing transformed her into a furry catgirl!!!

I adore Kat's energy and her enthusiasm for life, when it's something she's interested in. It's a relatable mood to want to enjoy your summer vacation, and she sure does like to get in trouble! lol She's a wild one and things only get crazier with her "blessing". I won't spoil too much about that, but she kinda got what she deserved. I'm excited to see how she'll make use of this. She's smart, I know she can handle it!
