I received an arc of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.

This was so much fun to read. I really enjoy the Cult of the Lamb video game, and often watch content creators on Twitch and YouTube play it. That it's being turned into a graphic novel format is even more exciting though. I love that it might expand on the story some more in a different way. I love consuming media in different forms like this, and wasn't disappointed at all. I did feel it was a little disjointed so that is why it's only a 4.5 and not a 5, but that is still a really high rating. The story itself grabs you from the start, which is a plus, and I really loved the side characters like Nana. Nana was definitely my favorite. The art is so well-done. Beautiful seems an odd word to use when talking about this graphic novel that displays blood, gore, vomit, and poop in it, but nonetheless it's a fitting word. I definitely intend to recommend this to friends and family that I know who enjoy the game, and to my community in general.
