Bethanne Bruninga-Socolar | Review - Hex Vet series (kids) [CC] @bethannebruninga-socolar | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Quick review of the 2-book graphic novel series, Hex Vet by Sam Davies! I think they're intended for a juvenile/middle grade audience, perhaps ages 8-12, but my almost-3-year old enjoys them and so do I! 5 stars.

Brilliant, beautiful, challenging comics journalism. Probably going to buy this for our shelves and definitely going to seek out Joe Saccos other work.
