Fresh Romance #5

by: Brianna Klemm

I’m not a big romance fan. Preferring dystopian futures and alien landscapes over googly eyes love letters; I haven’t picked up a bodice buster since tittering with girlfriends on the middle school playground. But every month Fresh Romance makes me swoon, giggle and grin so much that I must admit that I am falling in love with romance.

Fresh Romance is a collection of 3 comic series in the romance genre. There’s a little bit of love for every type of lover – it’s got magic, queer politics and a period piece all baked into one comic! And in issue 5 each of these worlds are heating up.

In this month’s installment all of the stories see our protagonists grappling with difficult feelings. We reach a touching conclusion in The Ruby Experiment when Ruby feels all the feelings and discovers that her next mission may hit very close to home. Tensions continue to run high in Ruined. Catherine and Andrew could use a little of Ruby’s help to understand one another’s hearts – though their bodies seem to be very much in sync! In School Spirit Justine let’s love overtake fear when Malie threatens to end things!

With art that jumps from adorable to stunning in a page turn and stories that tug at your heart strings and your funny bone Fresh Romance 5 is a must read this Wednesday.
