I got this comic from Comic-Con Delhi as that's the best place to find indie-comic and when I decided to give Indian comics other than Raj Comics a chance. In the past, I got graphic novels from the catalog of Graphic India but these offerings are on the other end of the spectrum and is an effort to bring something different which maybe couldn't have found a home anywhere else unless self-published like the team has done.

The graphic style is definitely different and sometimes text is very difficult to read but the variety of stories is from different genres and some stories ended while others were continued for the next issue.

I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.
