I liked this a lot! This was awesome! Lots of fun. This was a fairly light graphic novel while at the same time having a decent plot (in the background, hah!) that was strong enough to keep things interesting without grabbing too much attention.
If you are looking for a fun road-tripping-adventure-coming-out-of-your-shell experience, then I recommend this one for sure.
Like many graphic novels I’m glad I had the whole story all together (I’m not sure if this was originally in pieces like they often are) because it would not have been nearly as great if I didn’t have the entire thing.

A Thing Called Truth is very middling - the story idea is basic but cute enough, the art is really dynamic and fits the overall tone perfectly, the writing reads very stilted at times, and the pacing is sometimes off, which makes the weight of different story elements feel misplaced. The actual reenactments of the movie scenes - what could've made for a great emotional core imo - don't really play a big role and thus don't feel well integrated into the narrative at all. It's simply a device for making Dorian and Mag travel through Europe, but it could've been something much more interesting, so I felt that the idea wasn't properly fleshed out.
I also didn't feel like Dorian and Mag had ANY chemistry to speak of, and so the romance fell completely flat for me. The sex scene in the car or them making out should've been really hot because the visuals and framing were really well done, but I felt absolutely nothing because their whole relationship didn't make much sense to me? I admit that I'm not a romance reader, but I definitely can get swept up in a good love story; this one didn't work for me.
What shines here is definitely the art. The characters are super lively and expressive, the panels feature nice compositions, the colors are vibrant and fitting - visually, this is really fun, but it's the writing that lost me. Since this is an ARC, I also wanna mention that there were a bunch of grammatical and spelling errors, so there should be another round of editing. Since the characters are from an unspecified German-speaking country and I'm German, I actually noticed that the karaoke show should be called "Amateurnacht", not "Amateurnatch" or that "Dopple-Kreuz" should be "Doppel-Kreuz" or "Doppelkreuz" (which inexplicably is spelled correctly sometimes and incorrectly others) - that's really not hard to find out at all and - along with other mistakes and some very unnaturally sounding dialogue - merits some quick edits in my opinion.
Ultimately, A Thing Called Truth is fine. It sports some good representation, a pretty sweet story idea, and some really nice art. It's not bad, but I also won't ever wanna reread it I think. Also, everyone and their mother was lesbian and that was probably my favorite thing about it lol

In this beautifully illustrated and thrilling journey we find two women, both lost, find everything they didn’t know they needed in each other.
Mag, a workaholic, has devoted 7 years to research in order to save lives, costing her a marriage. But when the company she works for fires her and steals her life’s work she’s left lost. Enter Dorian, a free spirit who, after losing her brother, has embarked on a roadtrip he planned out in order to finally live life to its fullest. Their paths collide and an unforgettable journey ensues.
I loved Mag and Dorian. Two complex, nuanced depictions of having been living half a life. Together they brought out the best in each other and learned that there’s more to life than work or fear along the way.
With the backdrop of famous cities, crazy challenges, and a cast of found family that pitches in to help we see Mag & Dorian become the heroes they set out to emulate. Brave and strong and free.
What you’ll get:
•Sapphic
•Workaholic Dr./Free Spirit
•Corrupt Heath Care Corporation
•Accidental Kidnapping Meet-Cute
•Grief + Loss
•Road Trip to live life to its fullest
•Finding out there’s more to life

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read A Thing Called Truth.
This is a graphic novel compiling the ten chapters of A Thing Called Truth in which we are following Dr. Magdalene Traumer aka doc and Dorian's journey in Europe to escape but also learn more about themselves. It starts off as a way for Dorian to connect with her late brother and what he wanted to do and evolved into getting to know Magdalene and having fun.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel! The plot was great and made me want to continue reading to know how things would end up. The evolution of Doc and Dorian's relationship was well-written and so cute. The art was also gorgeous.
I would give it a 4.75 stars!

I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a bit of a let down for me. It was short which I didn't mind but it all stayed a bit surface level to me. I felt like it wasn't as layered like I wished. The romance felt too fast and even the touring was too fast for me. I just didn't have time to fall for anyone or to care. It still wasn't bad and I was entertained enough and I liked the characters but it just didn't fully work for me. I really wish it did though, I quite liked the premise.

My Selling Pitch:
If Ali Hazelwood wrote a steminist lesbian road trip.
Pre-reading:
The cover reminds me of Life is Strange.
(obviously potential spoilers from here on)
Thick of it:
Ali Hazelwood, this you?
The dialogue in this is pretty stilted. (It reads like it might have been translated into English, and although this is an arc, it could use an exit before it goes to print.)
Rom com serial killer sin
The color in this is beautiful.
It reminds me of The Pairing.
Damn, girlypop can draw some sexy bits. I didn't really expect this book to have that haha.
She’s really good at drawing hands.
I love Isa.
I like that the book fakes you out that she’s dead in the epilogue.
That was cute af.
Post-reading:
This graphic novel couldn’t be more Ali Hazelwood coded. It’s a simple rom-com plot, but it's drawn so beautifully, I don’t think you'll mind. The book also acknowledges that it's trying to be more of a feel good movie and a romanticization of life, rather than something that sticks to reality. It’s science and thereby steminist more in the abstract. Characters are chemists, but we never get into the actual nitty gritty of their research. I don’t think that's inappropriate for a graphic novel. There’s limited text space.
It's a cute, mindless read. The color choices are beautiful. The character designs are diverse. It’s got a hopeful, idealistic little message. I think if you're a fan of Miss Ali or cozy romances in general, you'll enjoy this. If you're looking for anything deeper, I’d give it a miss. I liked the art style, and I’d pick this author up again.
Who should read this:
Ali Hazelwood fans
Queer romance fans
Ideal reading time:
Summer
Do I want to reread this:
Nah, I'll remember it.
Would I buy this:
Yup. The art is really good!

I requested "A Thing Called Truth" without many expectations, simply because it promised to be sapphic, and the blurbs seemed good. It was one of the best decisions I made because this was one of the most sapphic and original stories I read in a long while.
When the story starts, both heroines are at rock bottom, and I enjoyed how the writers did not shy away from making them messy and flawed. I also loved that we were following a black scientist, and showed how much she had sacrificed in her career, to achieve something great and contribute something good to the world, and capitalism and greed will always be in the way of true progress and improvement.
The art was also really beautiful, and I loved how different characters more masc gender presentation was drawn and how beautiful the plus-sized character was.
My favourite part of this story was how original the character dynamics were and the adult themes it touched on, such as a character going through an ugly divorce, deciding on having children, work-life balance and situationships.
Oh, and it's by Italian creators and set in Europe.

A Thing Called Truth is a wonderful LGBTQ+ road trip comic with lots of heart! There are two main characters, Dr. Magdalene Träumer and Dorian Wildfang. Magdalene has just invented a scientific way (with less money) to help people than the current possibility, but she ends up losing her job because of the need for higher profits. Dorian then has just lost his brother to an illness and the brother left her a diary to follow their movie dreams. This is how two the meet accidentally and embark on a road trip across Europe and realizing they have feelings for one another. The whole setting is very credible and of course good guys win, but the road trip is actually interesting as it binds these two cutely together in awesome cities. There's depth in the comic and there's electricity in the plot, what more can you wish for?
A Thing Called Truth is exciting, funny and heartwarming. The plot works and the pace is good too - lots of action and feelings mixed well together, really. It's credible and the best part is that it's set in Europe and the main characters are from Germany. The art looks very good too. We need more comics like this!

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
A Thing Called Truth had me enthralled until the very end. I found myself waiting on bated breathe with each turn of the page, trying to figure out what was going to happen next before it happened. It was adventurous and thrilling to the point that I could not put this book down.
Mag and Dorian are on a road trip of a lifetime, seeing parts of the world and doing things most people only dream of doing. We get to see them both grow and change as characters as this story progresses, and it leaves you wondering 'will they' or 'won't they' at different parts of the story. And, the best part, this road trip is only a piece to an even bigger story, and the author was able to tie everything together beautifully.
I would recommend this to people that enjoy a graphic novel romance with a bit of thrills and adventure. This story was fun and exciting, and I truly hope there's a next installment of the series because I want to see more of all of these characters.

3.75 ⭐️
first, i would like to thank netgalley and oni press for giving me the chance to read "a thing called truth" in exchange for my unbiased review.
i'd like to start by praising the art style. it felt very nostalgic to comic books i would read as a teenager, but improved.
the plot felt a little too easy overall and i'm not sure i understand the necessity to have two whole separate plots in such a short format. the road trip and lab corruption are both interesting ideas, but they felt underdeveloped due to lack of space.
i also don't think grown adults would immediately pick up fights like this, especially with someone they just met. that part felt unrealistic to me.
there was one sex scene between both fmcs but it didn't last that long and it wasn't super graphic.
this is my first time reading both of these authors but i can tell they love comics by the art style and their characters.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I got this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
The characters were definitely the highlight of the whole, both design-wise and personality. I felt Mag and Dorian meshed really well together with their personalities, along with the several side characters. There were also many sapphic characters. Hell yeah. The art is also beautiful and the premise of a European romance movie tour is so fun, even if one of the characters ended up kidnapped in the beginning. Falling in love with the woman you may or may not have accidentally kidnapped in less than a week is very lesbian-esque, if I say so myself.
Now, while I loved a lot about it, I definitely feel like the pacing could have been much better. Maybe spending longer on each mission or more down time in the car, but it definitely through me off. I wish they got decently close both before and after their argument and third act breakup that's not really the third act nor a breakup. It felt rushed. But otherwise I did really enjoy it.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
A Thing Called Truth delivered as a heartwarming queer, adventure romcom. ❤️ The artwork was beautiful, the settings were atmospheric. 🏳️🌈🗺️
However, the plot felt a little too convenient. The plot was disappointing and predictable. 🥲 The main and side characters left me wanting more. 😣 The structure was a bit overdone and clunky, switching from points of view and timelines. Quotes that I’m sure were intended to be meaningful and impactful felt very corny. 🥸
I wish I could have connected with the characters and the plot on more than a surface level. Despite there being bits of this book that I enjoyed, my reading experience was limited by these issues. 🫤🩶
The positives were such that I wouldn’t be opposed to reading more by the authors. 📚💛📖

I really enjoyed reading this book so much!!
The plot of the book are soooo interesting and enjoyable. There are a few things I wish was explained like what was the illness Dorian had. I wish there a bit more back-story for Dorian cuz I feel like Mag back-story is told.
I love the relationship of them both evolve from strangers to lovers. How supportive dorian is in helping Mag. I love seeing their relationship in the book. I like that they both are completely opposite of each other. The way they view their live.
I wish there more. The story is amazing in my opinion.

a scientist whose life’s work has just been stolen from her finds herself on an unplanned road trip with a stranger—a woman grieving her brother’s death and honoring his life (while ignoring her own mortality) by taking the road trip he planned before he died.
this is a cute, romcom-style adventure featuring an adorable opposites-attract romance, a subplot about a corrupt healthcare corporation, and beautiful illustrations. i really liked the artist’s whimsical style. i wish the characters and plot had been fleshed out more, but it was a nice palate cleanser between fantasy novels.

3.5 rounded up.
A Thing Called Truth is a fun little adventure and great if you’re looking for something easy to read.
The art style is great and gorgeous and I loved that we travelled all over Europe too.
However, for me the characters felt flat and 2 dimensional. They agree not to talk about the past and that means they spend a lot of time talking about nothing. When they do finally get to the deeper stuff it feels rushed and half finished.
Despite this, I read this in one sitting and it was a good way to kill 2 hours.

This was wild, heart warming, heart breaking and funny, all in one! I really enjoyed this graphic novel but strangely have no words at the moment. I've just finished it and I am basking in its warmth.
Thank you to Oni Press and Netgalley for the eARC and because I had to buy a new tablet to be able to read some of the file formats that are coming from Netgalley now, I have left an honest review.

this was such a fun read! the art was amazing, I loved the depth of color and how much the lighting was highlighted to show mood and tension. the story was so heartwarming and had that touch of bittersweet but with lots of love and hope. I loved all the different types of relationship dynamics shown and the divorced to buddies arc is very fun. lots of sweet character growth and development on top of a fun adventure about saving the world!
thanks netgalley for arc access!
