The first Kim Reaper series (review here) was one of my favorite comics of 2017, and I'm super-excited to see there's a sequel coming on September 5th from Oni Press. For those who don't know, the premise is that Kim is a young, broke college student who gets a job as a part-time Grim Reaper. Small stuff, like your aging cat. She's stalked by a classmate, Becka, who finds Kim's life both appealing and horrifying. The whole thing is incredibly, amazingly cute, and I loved every minute of it.
Now we find Kim and Becka trying to make things work. From the press release:
I can't wait to see what happens when Becka over-reacts again, given the trouble she caused for Kim last time around. This series, which takes normal romantic issues (roommates, jobs, enthusiasm) and ramps them up to 11, is just so much fun and I can't recommend it highly enough.Your favorite gothic cutie is back for more hilarious adventures!
