Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the “gig economy.” Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who’s Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She’s got a great routine going—she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan’s company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.

My soul mate purchased this for me knowing I would love it! I didn't listen to the podcast beforehand but after reading this I think I am going to. I took a two week break reading this because I got wrapped up in other books. I am glad I got back into it tonight. When Mitch said he found porn sexier when the actors seem like they were in love, I felt that.

Mitch was so cool and weird. I loved him. The action was good, the plot was easy to follow, and the characters actually had flaws.I really hope there is a second part to this!-POPSUGAR 2021 READING CHALLENGE - A book that published in 2021 • Published June 2021
this was sooo fun oh my godddd. a visual AND storytelling treat. i actually also have not listened to the podcast this was based off of (it's been on my to-listen for ages but i still have yet to get around to it) so i went into the comic wondering how this would read - if i would feel on the outside of an inside joke, or how the serial podcast part of this would translate to graphic novel. but at no point did i feel like this was originally a different medium, or that i was missing something. i was fully immersed. i don't think this is like, perfect or anything, but it was perfect for me i loved it. so glad i picked it up.
