First page/s: Erin is dreaming and thinks she's in heaven, being greeted by Christa MacAuliffe.
My comments: I went onto Litsy to see what "comics"/graphic novels seems to be a top read in recent months and discovered a few titles, but this is the only one I could locate at Barnes & Noble. There were lots and lots and LOTS of superhero comics/graphic novels, but not too many others.
There were a couple of places in the story that no matter how hard you looked at the illustration or read the text, you couldn't quite figure out what was going on. I skimmed through a second time and got a few answers...or at least answers that might have been correct, but satisfied me. It was an okay read, and would be interesting to see what happens in Volume 2
Erin is the "new girl" to the now-foursome that delivers the Cleveland paper together before dawn each morning. Mac/MacKenzie is the pink-haired, swearing, smoking, unafraid of much leader, Tiff/Tiffany is the darker skinned walkie-talkie owner, and KJ has the back ponytail and a bat mitzvah coming up.
Goodreads synopsis: In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls uncover the most important story of all time. Suburban drama and otherworldly mysteries collide in this smash-hit series about nostalgia, first jobs, and the last days of childhood.
