Such a fun all ages comic with adventures and a strong female lead!
I'm enjoying the friendship between Delilah and Selim but I'd like more plot and less boom! pow! biff! Hopefully volume 2 doesn't disappoint since it's already on my shelf.
I loved this story, and I was really hoping to win it from the Goodreads Giveaway, but unfortunately I didn't =/
The good news, though, is that the comic is actually available online, which is where I was able to read it, and I would definitely recommend everyone to check it out: http://www.delilahdirk.com/
You won't be disappointed. The story is fun and fast paced. It's a light read and I think Delilah Dirk is awesome–I would love to cosplay as her!
I can't wait for the nest installment: Delilah Dirk and the Seeds of Good Fortune. The cover looks amazing!
Loved it! Super fun adventure story with a kick-ass lady adventurer and a bookish tea-drinking dude of color who gets his own heroic moments. Also, it's hilarious.
