Trigger and content warnings for minor bullying and for abandonment.

So, the next portion of this review will be a little more SPOILER-Y! Obviously, I won’t give away anything too pivotal, but I will talk about some of the themes that each issue had inside.

Okay, so like with every graphic novel that I review, I always do a breakdown on my thoughts and feeling of each individual issue. But my favorite character is easily Bobby! He completely made the comic for me, and everything about him just felt like a shining light at this boarding school! Like, I can tell you all right now that that is going to be the ship I go down with. And, don’t be me wrong, Nicholas and Seiji and their dynamic is perfection, but I honestly fell the most in love with Harvard and Aiden. Pacat’s Twitter!Īnd the “treasure” and “trouble” are honestly a gift from a higher power. And I found these amazing character layouts on C.S. I so very easily fell in love with each and every single one of these characters. And even though everyone wants to make the team, it is absolutely dire for Nicholas Cox. They all come with different levels of experience, with different strengths and weakness, but they are all competing for one of three open spots on the varsity team. Pacat’s writing and Johanna the Mad’s art is honestly a match made in Heaven, and these four issues were absolutely perfection.įence surrounds a boy’s boarding school, where many of the students are trying out for the fencing team. This is such a diverse cast, from sexuality (seriously, I think everyone is queer), to race, from social and economic backgrounds, to different family dynamics there is so much to love about Fence. Friends, I love this story, this art, and these characters with the sum of my being.
