Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I’ll be honest: I don’t have a lot to say about this one, mostly because it didn’t make me feel much of anything.
The main reason this graphic novel gets two stars from me is the art style, which I genuinely enjoyed. I loved the choice to give each chapter its own colour palette; it made the reading experience visually engaging and showed a lot of care on the artistic side. From an aesthetic point of view, Punk'n Head absolutely has its moments.
When it comes to the story, though, it didn’t quite click for me.There are already countless books and graphic novels dealing with themes like depression and creative uncertainty. Not knowing whether your art can sustain you financially or emotionally is very real and very relatable. I get that. But while the themes are familiar, this particular story didn’t bring anything new or especially memorable to the table.
Nothing about it made me go “oh!” or pause to really sit with it. It wasn’t bad, just… fine. And unfortunately, “fine” isn’t always enough to leave a lasting impression.

This was the type of graphic novel I love. I loved the periodical feel, the snapshots taken while still following underlying threads. It felt like I was reading comic issues in the best way possible and the art style was super cute. The colors were ultimately simplistic but the changing did the book as a whole a service and I'll definitely have to get a copy of my own to keep on my shelf. I appreciated both the story on a grounded level and the larger themes on art and creation.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC

Great read! The story shows how each of them changes. Their relationship with each other. The story was a bit slow at the start but afterwards it gets better. Love the book!

The art is great, and I loved the character design, illustrations, and color changes.
The story was a lot more in depth than I was expecting!
It’s a story about growth and relationships.
My only con is that there is a lot of text, and it was hard for me to read. Especially on a digital platform like NetGalley.
And keep in mind this is for mature audiences! I did not know that going in to it, and was kind of taken back when I realized it was graphic/ explicit.
Thank you for the ARC :)
