It’s incredibly fast-paced, a bit too much in my opinion. Felt like I was reading 4 novels cramped into one, instead of 4 comic issues.

An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.

"Veronika is 24 and tired: of her crummy boyfriend, of living with her parents, of feeling stalled out while everyone else moved on. With a new job coding software for a “wellness” company that makes brain-boosting energy drinks, she finally has a chance to turn things around. At this rate, Veronika may never feel tired again! But as she gets more comfortable with the office and the people in it, Veronika stumbles upon surprises in the dark that leave her questioning everything she thought she knew about the world… and about herself."

Another story that inevitably shows there’s no point in life. And yet, at the same time there is, if you want one. A never-ending wonder of: Why? And then what?

The front book cover of “Hi, Earth” (by Elizabeth Pich, Jonathan Kunz) on the right side: Planet earth, sitting on a chair surrounded by fire with the blue sky in the back. On the right, in the background, plastic waste can be seen lying on grass around a garbage bin. The back cover of “Hi, Earth” on the left: A blue sky with fire at the bottom. The sun is shining and grimacing in the top right, behind a 4-panel comic strip. Text below: “This hilarious and bittersweet collection of comics from the webcomic War and Peas pays tribute to a subject near and dear to us all: PLANET EARTH. With comics told from the point of view of animals, icebergs, trees, plastics, aliens, horny flowers, and a teenage praying mantis named Timmy, Hi, Earth packs a Noah's ark-size cast into just over one hundred delightful pages.

Doesn’t feel that brand new, possibly has lots of similarities to other works (someone on another platform mentioned Harry Potter, can’t confirm though), but it was a fun ride. (And I’m way older than the target group!) Diverse, adventurous, creative, and focused on friendship, which always is a plus. – Story: Quite fast-paced, there’s always…
