[Chad · Rating 1 out of 5]

A rare DNF for this one trick pony. It's about a horny devil and a doe-eyed, big boobed, naive angel dating. He wants to have sex and she wants to wait until they get married. Most of the book is one page strips where the joke is the same every time. He misconstrues something she said for "Let's finally have sex" until he ends up tossed out on the porch. It feels like this may have been a web comic first from the way it was constructed. I do know Andolfo published it in her native Italian before Marguerite Bennett translated it.

Received a review copy from Ablaze and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.

Too problematic. Sex positive doesn't mean men can be douchebags and women characters to be that shallow and desperate. I mean who's writing this script. I just couldn't read this graphic novel beyond page 4. Done with it. I have a problem with this graphic novel series. And the illustrations started out cute but nope ended up really cringy. Keep this one censored. It's not even sexy. It's gross. There's a difference. Sorry for requesting this graphic novel, NetGalley. Please decline my requests from time to time.

YIKES!
Oh... This was... bad... I enjoyed the first couple of pages but it just kept trying to be edgy when all it is is cliché and dumb.
Angelina is an angel with the intellect of a 5-year-old and big boobs. Damiano is a horny devil. I think you understand where this is going next. Damiano attempts to get laid while Angelina is this poor innocent thing that wants to wait till marriage.
This was neither sex-positeve or funny. I read half of the book and just skimmed through the rest of it.

WARNING: DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS BOOK, THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SEXUAL DISCUSSION AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

I was hoping that this would be better.

What’s it about?
There’s this devil guy who’s in a metal band. An angel girl with huge boobs catches his attention. The thing is that he doesn’t want to get married but she doesn’t want to have sex before marriage so stupid stuff goes on.

Pros:
The artwork is amazing! Gosh if the writing was on the same level as the art, it would easily be a 5-star book!

This book towards the end has a few good surprises in the plot.
This book is intended to be a bit sexy and yeah, mission definitely accomplished.
There’s a bit of social commentary on racism that is done in an okay way.
There’s a surprising number of clever Bible references. Not just the usual couple of verses either, Andolfo seems to know her Bible a good bit (though if anyone is curious, this book seemed neutral regarding the topic of religion so no real commentary on the subject and no idea if she believes or not though it would be somewhat surprising if she didn’t at least used to believe in Christ given the references and such).

Cons:
The story is kinda dumb. There’s not much more to it than “devil guy wants to fuck big titty angel lady” for the first half and then the story moves on to other uninteresting stuff.
The characters are so shallow and annoying. Angelina (the angel in case any of you didn’t catch that right away) is especially poorly written. She seems to always either be such a prude that the VeggieTales would be shaking their heads (or whatever you call that since they don’t have heads) or so hyper-focused on sex that she can’t function. Like... if we’re gonna be unrealistic about it at least be consistent.
The humor in this book is kinda flat. For every clever joke there’s at least 5 moments of “hehe it’s funny because sex”. Also keep in mind, this isn’t coming from someone who hates sexual jokes, my 2 favorite shows are South Park and Archer, but their (very frequent in pretty much every episode) dirty jokes have some sort of context or writing that adds something clever, here it’s often just “dick and/or titty now laugh”.
Part of my problem with the humor might be how repetitive it is, mostly in the first half. The first half is basically “they go on date, demon guy craves big titties and tries to seduce angel girl, something silly happens and it doesn’t work, REPEAT”.
The dialogue is pretty bad.
There’s this bullshit narrative where the guy doesn’t want a baby but then the girl does and they’re so in love he changes his mind blah blah blah... I know it probably happens to some but doubt it’s as frequent as entertainment and society’s baby crazy bullshit narrative would want us to believe. If you want kids, great but society’s pressure on people who don’t want kids is bad and this book definitely promotes that, even going as far to mock childless by choice individuals and implying their immature. Maybe I’m biased being the kinda guy that literally prays I’m sterile and even without having a girlfriend wants a vasectomy ASAP and wouldn’t get intimate if she didn’t agree that we aren’t having a kid or at the very least using plenty of protection (I have several reasons for this, some of them actually more for the nonexistent kid’s sake than mine) and maybe it’s also a bit due to my “fuck bullshit societal standards” attitude but this book was one of the worst examples of one of my least favorite tropes.

Overall:
This book could be good and think that volume 2 could end up being better but I won’t know for sure.
I didn’t think it’s terrible. It has it’s positives for sure and maybe if you’re a huge fan of Andolfo it could be worth trying at the library if you see it there but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it.
Some great illustrations and sexy stuff doesn’t excuse bad writing and weak humor. It sure as hell wasn’t worth the $25 cover price I paid for the hardcover either.

2/5

[Adam Stone · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first three pages or so of this book were amusing.

Past that, this sex positive, supposedly feminist comic is just the same joke over and over. Men are horny all the time. Women want to be pure. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

The premise: that a female-identified angel, and a male-identified demon fall for each other and try to make their relationship work despite having very different goals could be great. If the one joke contained in this book was given time to breathe, and the characters did ... anything, it could be okay. But this is essentially The Family Circus with nudity and a teenager's idea of Naughtiness. It's unrelentingly bad.

Somewhat early on there is a gag that the horny demon and the horny demon's friends are both at their wits' end because they're not getting laid. And the next day they text each other about their ill-advised One Night Stands after they blacked out. Are you ready for the joke? They hooked up WITH EACH OTHER and didn't know. WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Horny het dudes blacking out and hooking up with each other, thinking they were hooking up with women is the height of hilarity. Because, see, they want to exploit women, but they ended up exploiting each other. That's comedy.

I think Mirka Andolfo is a very talented visual artist, and I think their basic concepts of Bait And Switch Misogyny Turns Out To Be Feminist is potentially very good. But they are nowhere near talented enough a writer to pull it off. I hope they end up teaming up with a better writer who can take their lofty ideas and put them in a story or series of gag comics worth reading.

If you can get past the fact that this is one joke repeated ad nauseum, and you enjoy Andolfo's art (and, again Andolfo is a spectacularly talented artist ... I'm not a fan of the style but I think you have to acknowledge that it takes some serious talent, I bumped the review up one star for it), then you might enjoy this book much more than I did.

Who knew a angel and devil look so good together

[Liz (Quirky Cat) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received a copy of Mirka Andolfo's Un/Sacred Vol. 1 in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Mirka Andolfo's Un/Sacred Vol. 1 originally caught my attention for two reasons. First, there's that cover. It looks light and fun, with more than a fair share of humor. The second reason is that I have read Mirka Andolfo's previous works, and have found myself utterly charmed in the past.

So it is safe to say that I went into Mirka Andolfo's Un/Sacred Vol. 1 with high expectations. However, before I actually dive into my review, I should probably describe the premise of this series.

In this world created by Mirka Andolfo, an angel and a devil happen to meet, and eventually, fall in love. No, there's nothing figurative about that description. A literal angel, and a literal devil. Everything about their adventure, from their first meeting to the very last page, is marketed at sex-positive humor, with a slice of life feeling. Oh, and lots of humor, in case that wasn't clear.

There certainly wasn't any shortage of humor in Mirka Andolfo's Un/Sacred Vol. 1. There was essentially a joke to be found on every single page of this series. The jokes varied from being quick one-liners to requiring a full page of buildup.

Almost all of them revolved around the relationship between Angelina and Damiano, and their quirky adventures. On that note, there's no doubt that the series is sex-positive. It highlighted the good and the bad, the trials, efforts, and conversations that go into having a healthy relationship.

However, I do think that the series dropped the ball on a few points, and that is the reason I didn't like it more. Damiano and his friends are frequently portrayed as pigs (especially earlier in the novel), while Angelina very much reads like a bimbo at times. Both portrayals feel unfair, both to the characters and the readers.

It's a bit surprising, considering some of the complex writing I've seen from Andolfo in the past. Then again, this series does have a stronger humorous vein, so perhaps that is the biggest difference here.

I'll confess that this isn't quite the cute and comical series that I anticipated, given the cover. It is still a quirky and entertaining read, just not to the same level that I had hoped.

[Juan Manuel Sarmiento · Rating 1 out of 5]

The premise looked so good and funny and, while it was funny -sometimes- it was kinda boring and bidimensional overall.
Each page felt like disjointed episodes and it was one note repeated over and over and over again. Damiano is horny and Angelina is busty and virginal. That's it.

Strange and colorful but very poor driven.

[Adriana · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is as ridiculous and absurd as the premise would suggest, and that's a big part of why I enjoyed it.
There's a ton of outré and adult humor that just proves Andolfo was just not taking anything seriously and everything was up for comedy fodder. I laughed so much while reading this, more so when I wasn't sure it was entirely okay to laugh.
Even with that, there's is so much realness and emotion in the backbone of the story that you can't help but fall in love with the horny devil Damiano and the curvaceous angel Angie. Although I will forever opine that Angie is the true devil in the story. Poor Pookie sure gets tortured...
The art is all about exaggeration and visual gags, which plays wonderfully with the story and truly helps tell the joke.
Overall, this is definitely not one for the kiddies, but unquestionably one for anyone with a wicked sense of humor.

[Alex Sarll]

A skinny, angular demon trying to get his end away with a rather curvier angel; sometimes Un/Sacred can't help but recall Good Omens, or more precisely the online fandom refraction of the TV adaptation. But if so, it would be some kind of mutant fanfic in so far as it's less gay (the angel here is female) and less sexy than the original. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, even if I don't quite get the context in which these one-page gag strips would originally have appeared, or indeed the appeal. Maybe they were funnier in Italian, or to Italians? To me, and even with Marguerite Bennett localising the many guest writers, they mostly feel like an awkward sort of seaside postcard humour; I chuckled once or twice, but cringed a lot more often. Nor does the art have that alluring quality I associate with the other Mirka Andolfo I've read, instead doing that offputting thing where it's sex-related without being remotely sexy. She normally has such a personal, strange take on sexuality, compared to which the recurring notes here (he wants sex and video games! She wants to wait until marriage and is baby-mad!) feel depressingly conventional; they are rowed back ever so slightly as the story develops, but the effect is still more Michael McIntyre than Angela Carter. Still, I'm well aware that sexy and funny are two of the most subjective qualities in art, so I'm sure someone will love it.

*I received a copy of this book through NetGalley.

This is definitely for mature audiences only and honestly fell a bit flat for me. It's basically the same general situation told over and over again with the same results. The colors are super saturated and I felt like it was just too much of the same, while also being pretty intent on really pushing the narrative of the stereotypical characters. This one just wasn't for me, I'm sure that it has its own demographic and there were certainly some humorous moments, but just not my cup of tea.

DNF, could not get into this.

[Ville-Markus Nevalainen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unnatural has a LOT in common with Un/Sacred, even if there are differences. Where the first has two species that should not bang but really want to, here we have angels and devils. In Unnatural this causes tension and conflict, here it's the cause of amusement and gags. The artwork in both is ever so horny, which I admire about Andolfo, but that's about it. In the end, both works feel like meh-level web comic that is missing that something. It's not so horny as to actually inspire anyone or to actually carry the story as its sole focus, it's more playful and teasing, and the story (or stories) are not helping. In fact, it might make it even worse.

In Unnatural the over the top conspiracy / chosen one plot, while not actually that engaging, was interesting enough to make you want to see where it all leads to. Here, the story is told in strip-like one page gags with every now and then a few page long continous segments. Each page it's own joke with a punchline on the last frame, but the thing is, it's rarely funny. It's not even that I don't enjoy sexual humor, it can be cheeky and amusing, it's just that it's bad here.

The core premise is that there's an innocent but busty angel and a horny hellspawn that wants to bang her and he's willing to do his darnest to do it. This apparently means seven years of dating and hand holding and if they then get married, then they might do the deed. So it's a lot of things you'd suspect, the enticing angel says something which makes the horndog believe they are going to bang but hey, they're not - haha. There's some that simply lack the delivery of making it funny and then there's some... really, really weird ones. Like the one where they are having "phone sex", moaning, breathless, "Oh, this is so intimate, I've never done this with anyone before", "Oh, yeah baby", and... they are apparently taking a dump on the phone. I mean... that's just... what?

Then, when you realize that every story is about this same premise, "We're going to bang", "Oh no, how could I have misread the situation", it gets tiring. There are fragments of a longer narrative, but it never really goes anywhere..? And while this is Vol. 1, it actually seems to end really abruptly in a way that I don't think there's going to be more of this. There's also the weird thing on how the pages seem like they should be twice the size, the text and the artwork is painfully small which I don't really get.

Don't really recommend it.

[Cody · Rating 4 out of 5]

What Can I say, I really enjoyed the book. I first discovered the comic on Global Comix and read a bit of it, I did see some of the floppies at my local shops, but not many and I didn't bother with them. I did however pick up the hard back editions for vol 1 and vol 2.

This is... I'm not sure it's right to call it a romantic comedy. But, I can't think of a better term for it. I saw some of the top reviews and how they are all negative, some folks really just need to get over themselves. This book follows the decade long romantic relationship of a devil and an angel. It mostly looks at it from a comedic lens and has a rather large cast of characters that pretty much all get their moments. Most of the jokes land for me, and they range from making me smile to actually getting an audible chuckle from me. Yeah, a lot of the story is ridiculous, but may I remind you, this is about following the dating life and adventures of a couple made up of a demon and an angel, with some time spent on their friends and family as well, but the bulk of it jokes about couples. Anyone that is going to take that premise too seriously, frankly is too stupid and immature to be reading it. It is also worth noting that by the end of Vol. 1, they get married and have a kid. People keep saying it's the same joke over and over, but no, the story and jokes do change and evolve over time.

As far as the art goes, Andolfo has a way of bringing together cute, funny, and sexy that I found delightful. There are a lot of sex jokes and innuendos, and there is plenty of nudity (mostly just boobs) so it's not for kids, but it's not exactly titillating either. The nudity serves the purpose of being part of the joke. Mostly, it's to help set up gags, to give it that much more punch when the joke lands. I suppose it could also be there a little bit to help you get in the headspace of characters at times.

Again, I say to sit there and whine that this isn't a good example of relationships, or sex, or sexual relationship, or relations with sex... duh. It's a funny book. It's a joke, it's not serious, that's the point. Again, if you can't get that, then I'm not sure why you are reading this, you're too stupid and immature for it. Can the book be Juvenile? Certainly, so what does that say about you that you are beneath it?

If you don't have a stick up your ass, and don't mind some crassness and nudity and are not looking for an example to live by and enjoy giggles, then check it out.

[Heidi · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, I asked to read a ARC of this graphic novel because I thought the cover art was cute. I wanted something light. The art in the comic was bright and cheery, it suited the lightness of the story well.
I enjoyed reading this, it is funny! A mere 5 star rating system doesn’t leave a lot of room for nuance. I’d give it about a 3.5 myself. Depending of your opinion of the subject matter you might go much lower or higher. The thing about this book is it’s a running string of sex jokes. Most are one page long. It progresses the couple through their relationship from a chance childhood encounter, the only bit without sex jokes... to adulthood and eventual marriage. This is Not for the easily offended or anyone of delicate sensibilities. Some of the jokes are really funny, some are pretty puerile. If the low brow and off color humor sounds good to you you’ll enjoy it but it’s definitely not for everyone

[Autumn Vera · Rating 5 out of 5]

While this comic was not one of my typical reads, I did enjoy the humor filled story of Angelina and Damiano story. With the constant separation and occasional overlap of Heaven and Hell, angels and demons are either at eat other's throats or living in semi-harmony with one another. Angelina, a young and beautiful angel meets metal head demon Damiano who wants nothing more than to score points with Angelina. Skip ahead six years, the two have gone from a casual meeting to a full blow relationship. The twists and turns these two go through can be paralleled with any relationship happening now in society from disapproving parents, to immature best friends, and the constant battle between giving in or staying true. The more I read the story, the more I like the progression and respect Angelina and Damiano have for each other. This comic was definitely a surprise and not a disappointment like I was expecting. 5 out of 5 star rating!

[Lisa Armeo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first time ever reading anything Mirka Andolfo, the cover is what originally drew me to this comic. An enjoyable read from start to finish. My rating would be a 3.5, so i'll round up to 4 stars. Mirka Andolfo's Un/Sacred Vol 1 by Mirka Andolfo from Diamond Book Distributors is about, "Angelina, a voluptuous angel, and Damiano, a mischievous devil, are madly in love. But, while she does not intend to give in to temptation, he would very much like to... This is the tale of their bizarre and spicy daily life!" The positives for this comic with no spoilers are that the art style is very cute. If you're into more of a sex positive comic, this is for you, that being said the negative is the plot is a little dull and runs on since a lot of the jokes are just sex ones.

Love thrives in this world and angels and devils.

If you enjoy sexual hijinks and family dysfunction, this is the comic for you. Angelina and Damiano have been together for seven years. Seven very unfulfilled years and Damiano the lovable devil is suffering. This is the story of their relationship told in three distinct parts.

The amazing artwork is absolutely essential to the enjoyment of this story because the details give the jokes life. I found myself rereading entire pages because the stuff going on in the background is just as entertaining as the story being told.

I really enjoyed this saucy little book full of angelic and demonic fun. Angelina and Damiano’s romance is something special. Their story is told in vignettes, and is definitely for adults. There’s a lot to relate to, and the angel/demon stuff leans more toward turning any religious-related expectations on their heads than adherence to the traditional concepts of divine versus demonic. The story really is more dating and relationship development, with friends and family and ups and downs. The art is cute and colorful, and very sexy, but sexy in a romantic way. There isn’t anything earth-shattering about the story, but it’s funny and heart-warming, and I really enjoyed it.

I received a copy of this graphic novel from NetGalley and the publisher to read and review.

This graphic novel is very one-note, and though the art style is fun and flirty and sexy, the set-up and punchline of every page is pretty much the same. Damiano wants to have sex, and Angelina wants to wait until marriage. Damianao thinks Angelina is finally giving in, only to discover she isn't, and he gets disappointed and kicked out. It seemed very web-comic style, and like it was meant more for teenagers than myself, unfortunately.

I wound up DNFing this one, as I just couldn't get past the immature humor or the repetitive nature of the thing.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for making this available..

The cover of this really caught my eye.

An angel and devil, meet and unexpectedly fall in love. Angie, a curvy angel, and Damiano, a skinny horny devil, have been dating for 7 years now. Mirka Andolfo take us on a wild adventure, with twists and turns everywhere.

The gags and comedy were funny, and I enjoyed the thought of an angel and devil relationship defying the odds of their birth rights. The artworks was perfectly done and the details were amazing. Although it feels like this graphic novel is more for a mature reader looking for something fun and upbeat to read.

[Critter · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the art style in this one and I think the art was the best part of this book. However, I had issues with the repetitive jokes. I don't have any issues with jokes about sex, but once it get repetitive it wears on me quite quickly. I also don't like the men are always horny jokes, they're just not funny.
The story itself was nothing special and felt quite average to me. It was a pretty typical story of two people dating, getting engaged, marrying, and having kids. There were no twists added into the narrative or any real deviations to this plot format. Unfortunately this one wasn't for me.

I would like to thank Diamond Books for providing me with a copy.

[Highland G · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun book that covers 3 main arcs. Dating, getting married, becoming a parent. Oh and lots of sexual references and imagery throughout.
The book itself is split into very short arcs of 1-3 pages in most cases and feels a little closer to an anthology than an ongoing story.
The art is gorgeous with very few flaws.
The translation however has much more flaws throughout, not so much the words used but bad grammar or words twice in the same sentence.
Overall I really enjoyed the read. I enjoyed this much more than unnatural, which was a bit to creepy and cringe at times.
Looking forward to reading book 2.

[Theediscerning · Rating 3 out of 5]

A demon finds a new level of hell when he wants to bed a gorgeously buxom, sexy angel – and has to wait seven years for her to put out. That's the entire shtick here – gags where they do everything but get to know each other biblically, before a semblance of plot manages to force itself onto proceedings. She finds innocent uses for a huge dildo, he – well, fixates on her boobs a lot. It's very teen-geared, and a little of it goes a long way, but it is just about sharp enough when it needs to be.

[Crystina · Rating 2 out of 5]

This comic starts off cute and is definitely true to the description of being sex-positive. It includes the idea of waiting to have sex, as well as an honest exploration between partners. The thing that prevents me from liking this book is the over objectification of the woman's bodies, particularly her breast. As a queer woman, I understand the appeal, but there's a point where the admiration becomes objectification, and in this case, that threshold is crossed very soon in the comic. In the end, I liked sex-positive writing, but not the characterization.

I Laughed so hard!

Once upon a time, an angel fell in love with a devil who just wanted to smash.
From the first page this comic is full of laughs, from three days to seven years of waiting for Angelina, this comic is filled with Damiano's ups ( high expectations) and lows ( hilarious ball crushing disappointments). I highly recommend it. Mirka's art is beautiful ,i f you've read Unnatural, you'll like this one too.

Wow! As soon as I saw this cover I knew I had to read this one - and then the synopsis drew me in much further! The cover is stunning and the premise unique and interesting!

This was an exciting read that kept me enthralled in the story while throwing in some mature humor along the way! I really enjoyed it - found the characters and concepts to be enthralling and was blown away by the gorgeous art in this book!
