Critics Review
WINNER OF THE 2018 DINKy AWARD FOR DIVERSITY!
“Fantastic.” — Virginia Library Association Graphic Novel Diversity Awards
“Nations is a standout, portraying his experience with humor and honesty, and with distinctive, whimsical art.” — Publishers Weekly, Top 10 Comics & Graphic Novels for Spring 2018
“No comic in 2017 spoke as deeply and personally while entertaining as Gumballs did. A mix of autobiographical comic strips about the author’s journey as a trans man and other socially awkward funnies, Gumballs consistently delivered warmth, optimism in the face of challenge, and one of the finest printed publications around.” — Comicosity
“Gumballs is funny, sincere, and just generally brilliant — when dealing with autobiography, fake personal ads, or any number of other events. Nations is a promising new voice in comics, and you need to read Gumballs.” — ComicsVerse
“Gumballs lays bare a lot of serious, complicated stuff and presents it with a frankness and humor that really moved me to my core.” — Multiversity Comics
