I got my copy at one of the shows. It was a fun read and true to yungblud and the message he tries to deliver through his music. I’ll treasure it because I love yungblud.

This is definitely a fan service comic. But I can see someone enjoying this if they don’t listen to/enjoy Yungblud’s music.
The only reason this wasn’t a 5 star read for me... well... two reasons.
1) the art style switches. They were all so different and so individual that I was losing track of who Em was and who everyone besides Yungblud, Scout and Zombie Joshua actually was. (Mainly because the three had defining characteristics.)
2) In the last chapter I had to reread a lot because I got confused in the plot and it all just felt so rushed.
All in all, I did love it and would love to see a sequel.

What better way to read this than while wearing pink socks and listening to his newest album?

Okay, here's the thing… I love Dom and I love the concept and overall idea behind this but I really wish it was longer or maybe split into two parts. To me, many of the messages came across as quite… idk "pushed in your face" almost, where out of nowhere a character starts preaching about something. And that makes some parts sound quite pretentious, at least to me. I just think if there was more time to let the story play out and to develop the characters a little more, before they get into relationships (Looking at you, Em and ZJ) and dive into the deep stuff, it would've been absolutely fantastic. That being said, the messages in here are wonderful and important, I love that they correlate with his songs (duh), the characters are likeable, there's queer representation, a character in a wheelchair, all the good stuff. Some people could be bothered by the art style changing throughout the book, so heads up for that, but it didn't bother me, personally, I actually quite enjoyed it and I think, it worked well with the story. If nothing else, it definitely added some chaotic energy to it and I'm all for that anyway.

I really enjoyed it, this comic has a lot of potential and the message is WOW! The same energy as the Yungblud’s songs 🖤🖤🖤

I was really excited for this one and expected quite a lot from it. But it didn't hit the mark unfortunately.
I think this story has a lot of potential. There's a great message here as well. But it all felt... rushed? I wouldn't have minded if the graphic novel was twice its size! I would have loved to get more time to learn how the world functions in which the story takes place and I would have loved to get to know the characters more deeply
The fact that each chapter has its own artist is pretty cool! But I would lie if I said that it wasn't confusing. If I'm reading a collection of short stories, I don't mind different artists. But since this is one "coherent" story, it was distracting and didn't really do anything for the overall vibe.
I absolutely love Yungblud, his music and the community that has been built because of it. But this graphic novel just didn't give me the same feelings his other work does/did.

as a fan of Dom, I needed to read this comic and DAMN it’s amazing. It really is matching Dom and what he’s fighting for, what his music is about. I highly recommend it to everyone that love his music. I’ll start the book 2 today as well !
March 4, 2020
Dom's a talented musician. I like his riffs, his lyrics and his energy. However, this comic was an absolute disaster. It was sloppy, incoherent and badly needs an editor. There's literally a mistake on the cover...

3,5/5
The storyline is not very original and it feels a little rough.
I liked the different artstyles and I adore Yungblud, so I still liked it overall.
(kinda spoilers, don’t read if you don’t wanna know little spoilers)
Zombie Joshua is fucking annoying. Shut up please. “What if Em doesn’t like me what if Em meant being with me sucks what if Em thinks I’m gross” it got annoying after a few times

I was really excited for this and picked it up at comic con. I finally got around to reading it and it did not disappoint. I love the wackiness of it but also the messages embedded within it. Initially I wasn’t sure about the art style but it grew on me quickly and also changed throughout which I also enjoyed. I need to get my black heart tattoo ASAP 🖤 I really love Yungblud and their music and this really just adds on to their message. I do wish it was longer though and hope for another part.
January 25, 2020
I love Yungblud (I'm going to see him in concert in a few months even!!!), and this book is all you would expect from a singer venturing into the graphic novel/ comic book world. It's not perfect, but the art is lovely and it's fun for a fan!
December 8, 2019
The comic is great I really enjoy it. It nice how every chapter is drawn in a slightly different stile. Hope for another one soon.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STARS!
NOTES PERTAINING TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL AS A WHOLE:
I love that each chapter was done by a different artist with a different style. I think it represented Dominic's (YUNGBLUD) ADHD and his personality so well which I heard in an interview is what he was going for. It was such a creative and new idea. I also loved the story and themes as I always do when coming from YUNGBLUD. I loved that the teachers' names were Mr. White, Mr. Vanilla, Mrs. Beige. I loved that the lyrics for "Parents" and "California" were sprinkled in here as well. Those are two of my favorite songs by YUNGBLUD. I loved YUNGBLUD's outfit (pink socks and all!!) and the fact that he pretended to be a teacher at one point called Mr. Pink. And I FOOKIN' loved the British slang.
CHAPTER 1 FAVORITE QUOTES:
* "Oh, for fook sake, not again. We need a lock for that bastard window."
* "On reflection, I don't think sheepy was a good idea."
* "You feel just as he does anytime he hurts someone. But you're not him, are you?"
CHAPTER 2 FAVORITE QUOTES
* "I know we're risking our lives and everything, but this is fookin' sick."
* "It's what you've got on the inside that matt-" "My insides are rotten."
* "Weird for a guy in his fifties to refer to himself as daddy in front of a bunch of school kids. I'm not one to kink shame, but that feels a bit problematic."
* "Who'd want to be normal in a world like this?"
CHAPTER 3 FAVORITE QUOTES
* "You have been ignoring me. Why?" "Because you're fookin' boring."
* "Is it because they call you YUNGBLUD? Is it because they play along with your little roleplay? Will you still call yourself that stupid name in five years? They won't. They'll grow up, wash out the hair dye, take out the piercings, put on proper clothes, put the masks back on, and get everyday jobs. You'll just be a phase they went through when they were young. Because that's life. Happy memories and endless bills. It's high time you paid yours. There is a toll to pay for playing in the shadows."
* "Who wants to love a freak?"
CHAPTER 4 FAVORITE QUOTES
* "I don't need a mask. I don't play by their fookin' rules."
* "We can't force people to see the world the way we do."

This graphic novel had a lot of potential, with an exciting storyline and a strong start, however, as I progressed, it became a little confusing and rushed.
Blackheart’s school forces its students to conform to its strict rules, making them wear masks and take medication. Everyone is the same, with no identity of their own. A group of misfits, known as the Ritalin Club, refuse to comply with these rules, have taken off their masks, and have developed superpowers that they had been forced to hide. They want to get rid of those in charge, and show the students of Blackheart’s that they, too, can be free.
The first part of this comic was amazing, and I was intrigued to see where it was going. The set up was done well, and there was enough information about the world and characters for the time being. However, as I got further into the book, the world wasn’t expanded on at all, something I thought the book needed. The characters were a little shallow, and their personalities didn’t develop at all throughout the book, they pretty much stayed the same. The backgrounds of some of the characters were given, however, some weren’t, and I felt like I knew very little about these characters, despite them being important parts of the story. Overall, it was fun to read, but could have been a lot better if it had been more developed.

yungblud has a fooking genius mind . in his music and in his comic too .
the story fits so well with the messages in his songs.
i love how he took on many issues and portrayed them in this twisted up world . it was so cleverly done , especially when you realise those things aren't that far from our reality .
also props to him for being honest and true . it was awesome to see that he wasn't afraid to put in some of his darkest thoughts and fears .
also loved seeing the diverse cast of characters . and i enjoyed the change in art styles.
(thank you to @reading_marthy for giving me this wonderful gift)

I really enjoyed this. It's chaotic and bizarre - just like I knew it would be - and the art pops off the page in splashes of glossy colour.
The story itself is dark but ultimately uplifting. I particularly loved the message
I look forward to reading the next installment in this series!

I love yungblud and his music so much so this comic was fun to read as well. it deals with lots of hard hitting topics about mental health but it definitely resonated with me and i appreciate it for that reason. the different art styles were cool too!
February 10, 2022
oh i loved this! it felt so authentically yungblud and that really helped to make it a familiar and nice read. i can’t wait to read the next instalment!!
February 6, 2021
I really liked the art!! The story was strange.
May 28, 2020
This one hit hard. It accurately portraits mental illness and encourages you to be yourself. This story hides so many important messages. I loved it so much (not that I expected something less). 🖤🖤
Also, every chapter contains art of a different artist, which is also amazing.
Basically, this comic is a masterpiece full of important messages and beautiful art. Definitely worth of reading.

I love Dom. I love YungBlud. When I heard that there was a comic coming out, I jumped at the pre-ordered and even managed to grab a copy where they misspelled YungBlud. With the 'Ritalin Club' being mentioned in Anarchist, one of my favourite songs of theirs, I wasn't sure what to expect from Twisted Tales of The Ritalin Club but my love for the song and for Dom made me purchase it never the less.
Despite being a fan, maybe I am not the key age-group for this comic. It's definitely a fun read and I enjoyed it, but there were some things I wasn't overly keen on. One is the switch in art styles. Though the comic follows the same plot throughout, it is a little difficult to keep up with things when the art style changes after every chapter. It's great to have a range of artists involved, but it was a little overwhelming for me and I sometimes had to look twice when trying to work out who was who!
Secondly, this felt very...rushed. It definitely portrays YungBlud and Dom and the message that is projected wildly in his music, but it didn't really feel like 'good' fiction to me. I enjoyed it and felt like a lot could be done with the plot. And a lot *was* done with the plot but in a very short space of time. There were a lot of strong and inspiring messages in this, but they were sort of misplaced sometimes. Characters would go off on rants and epiphanies about things that held great power or were very inspiring to some of the issues people were going through today, but they were like random bursts that sometimes didn't fit whatever was going on on that page.
I think Dom is a very creative person who writes about very important things that a lot of people nowadays can relate to. I look forward to seeing what he brings in the future.

I like Yungblud a lot and this had me excited, but from the first page, I laughed. At it, not with it. It’s not good and badly needs an editor.
- Hentai. Interspecies hentai.
- Page one contains a mistake. In fact, there’s a second consistent potential mistake throughout the book. Blackheart’s school? So does this school belong specifically to Blackheart, or is it an apostrophe repeatedly put in the wrong place when it should be Blackhearts Academy? This is never made clear.
- As it progresses the artwork becomes embarrassingly sloppy.
- It takes the pee out of non-binary people a bit with the character Harmony. I get the premise of preaching equality and acceptance, but this is the wrong way to do it.
- The whole school shooting premise, which Yungblud talks about often in real life, is pretty much laid out as a go ahead and do it, the same with suicide. Thinking of the target audience of this GN... it worries me.
- I also don’t understand how people can go from Hi, nice to meet ya! To falling madly in love and having sex in less than three pages.
Maybe as a 26-year-old dude I’m too old for this schoolyard temper tantrum of a book, but it was clearly a quick money grab targeted to kids. Very sad I wasted £11.05 thinking I was supporting one of my favourite musicians and getting something enjoyable for my money...

This graphic novel was surprisingly fantastic! I never hold out too much hope for things musicians put out as glorified merch, this was a refreshing exception. It actually read well and has a compelling storyline, not just a promotional tactic.
The only reason I didnt rate this the full 5 stars is due to some spelling errors I came across. While this is forgivable due to mass production and the pressure to put it out quickly, (I preordered my copy) I personally found it distracting. I am not above admitting I am quite the grammar nazi in general.
Worth a read whether a Yungblud fan or not. It is a nice reminder that ALL people have value, tolerance is important, and violence is something we should strive to never use.
Be kind <3

This graphic novel is definitely one catered to Yungblud fans, but I think even people that aren't fans of his would enjoy this if they like graphic novels like Deadly Class or Umbrella Academy. Really nice message, really cool artwork, really quick read.
February 7, 2022
This graphic novel is written by one of my favorite musical artists Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) and a comic book writer Ryan O'Sullivan. One of my favorite parts of this graphic novel is that Dom decided to bring in five different artists to work on the graphic novel illustrations and it was so interesting to see the way that different artists interpreted characters' looks. Dom is constantly advocating for mental health and being who you want to be without the pressure of what others want you to be, and through this graphic novel, he creates a world that showcases what it feels like when people aren't accepted for who they are. The Yungblud community is always accepting and the Ritalin club in the graphic novel is representative of that and it makes reading this graphic novel even more enjoyable.
The artistic elements of this graphic novel are very interesting and the way the panels are spaced creates a great storytelling element. During a fight scene, two characters are sharing a back story, and while they are having this moment together (pictured in black and white) there is a fight scene going on in bright colors in panels behind them. This was something I have never seen in a comic book or graphic novel but it was a great way to get some of the "boring" backstories done while also keeping the action going. The way that gutters and panels were set up made it easy to tell the difference between what was happening in each scene.
An additional artistic element that I enjoyed from this graphic novel was the difference in speech bubbles that created a distinct difference in the characters. The mermaid character, Scout, has light blue speech bubbles that are the same color as her and the zombie character, ZJ, has wiggly speech bubbles which made me imagine that he had a very different voice than the other characters. Small differences such as these change the way that readers see the characters in the story, and I know for me, it helps me to imagine what they are like. I enjoyed this graphic novel and the story was inspiring and had many social commentaries that describe the thought process of the world we live in.

This graphic novel was okay. Not bad, but not a new favorite either.
At times I found it confusing because the story went by quite quickly, but that also makes it a quick and easy read. I feel like alot of age groups could enjoy this type of writing. What confused me the most was how fast the relationships between the characters changed without it seeming like any time had gone by.
What I enjoyed about the book was how unfiltered the dialogue was, it was somewhat shocking at first but not surprising. It being so unfiltered makes it very obvious what it's about and what he wants to portray, but I didn't see that as a bad thing. I also enjoyed that it was illustrated by several people, that way we get to see several artists shine, and it's fun and refreshing to get a new look for each part.
The book definitely gives off a Yungblud vibe, it reinforces alot of the stuff he stands for. I think it has alot of potentional to be a very good story, I haven't read the second one yet so I can't give a review on it as a series.
I want to read the second one aswell! I think he's planning on realeasing a third and final one too.

The book definitely gives off a Yungblud vibe, it reinforces alot of the stuff he stands for. I think it has alot of potentional to be a very good story, I haven't read the second one yet so I can't give a review on it as a series.
I want to read the second one aswell! I think he's planning on realeasing a third and final one too.

January 7, 2020I really LOVE Yungblud's music; but I think Dom should stick to music. I get the message trying to be sent, but honestly this is very disappointing. Where is the meat to this storyline...there isn't one. I want to connect to the characters on a personal level, I want to relate, and I want to feel what they feel...This made me feel robbed. Wham, Bam, thank you Ma'am! There weren't many words in this comic, so I don't understand how you can have as many misspelled words as there were. I pre ordered this comic and had to wait a whole 3 extra months past the release date; what were they doing with those extra 3 months? Did they forget about it and just throw a bunch of pages together last minute? I mean come on...one page reflected another word for word all they did was change the artwork. My advice...don't waste your money I definitely wasted mine.

2.5/5
I have such mixed feelings about this. In a way, I found this enjoyable yet not so enjoyable at the same time. There's parts where it seems like there's something missing. Some panel and page transitions just go off way too fast like they need a bit more inbetween. There's little to no explaination for how their powers and world work. In some books, thats alright, but for this it was nothing but confusing. Also, the art style completely changes in the fourth chapter. I like both art styles but it just feels weird how it just changes out of nowhere. I don't know how the process of this book went but I feel this could have been a lot greater if it had a better editor or more people working on it.

As a fan of Yungblud, I was super excited to use this as my introduction into comics/graphic novels.
As I expected it didn't shy away from the powerful messages that Dom puts into everything he does and I loved that a lot!
To be honest I got confused a lot, whether that was because this is my first comic and I'm just not used to it all yet, or because it felt quite rushed, and jumpy. IDK.
I loved the variations of the art style in each part, but would of preferred if it was consistent. (Preferably the first art style, that was my favourite haha)
But I still enjoyed it, and wouldn't say no to getting the sequel.
