Review
Coming Back is a gorgeously queer graphic novel with a magical quality to it. The magic system is unlike any that I’ve ever read but quite interesting. I also really liked the the red and blue colour palette.
Valisa and Preet are together from the beginning and then go on in their specific journeys. I love the novel talks about respecting traditions and culture but also evolving to incorporate new ideas. That change is not a bad thing.
I love that it’s a queer norm world. It’s very whimsical and I really like the whole vibe of the novel. The ability to change forms and create stuff is very interesting. Really beautiful novel and I’d definitely recommend it.
