Reader's Diary #1926- Sarah Graley: Kim Reaper 1 Grim Beginnings

Sarah Graley's Kim Reaper 1: Grim Beginnings is a hilarious story of a university student named Kim who's taken grim reaping as her student job.It has potential for a lot of dark humour, but the comedy stylings are mostly light and of the silly variety. Reaping is portrayed more as an assistance to the souls of those whose time is up to get to where they're supposed to go.

I also enjoyed that Kim is mostly viewed through the eyes of Becka, a more normal university student, who develops a crush on Kim before realizing her rather unique job and getting caught up in her strange adventures. Becka's shock then mirror the reader's.

As for the art? It wasn't really my thing. It's very fluid and simple, fitting I suppose of a rather un-serious comic such as this, and similar to Rick and Morty (not surprising as Sarah Graley also worked on that series).
