Not a bad comic but not a good one either

I'm a fan of the show. It's funny and quite quirky.
I've read the memoir and it was not what I was expecting. Eddie was a huge douche canoe and now this. It links to one of the episodes and the episode was way better than this comic. This just seemed to drone on and on about Eddie being amazing. Ugh!

I'm a fan of Fresh off the Boat, and was thrilled to find out for free comic book day they had an issue. Sadly, I was disappointed. Liked the episode a whole lot better.

Cute intro to a show I need to start watching. Got for FCBD 2017.

Not seen the show. As an unrelated comic it was okay.
