James Tynion IV (Batman Eternal, The Woods) teams up with artist Rian Sygh (Munchkin, Stolen Forest) for an incredible yet earnest story about finding a place to fit in when you’re kinda an outcast. When Jory transfers to the private, all-boys school St. Genesius, he figures joining the stage crew would involve a lot of just fetching props and getting splinters. To his pleasant surprise, he discovers there’s a door backstage that leads to different worlds, and all of the stagehands know about it! All the world’s a stage...but what happens behind the curtain is pure magic!

The artwork was a bit too childish but it did work for the cute story. I related to the main character being shy and awkward in a new school. I also enjoyed the magic the story provided. Not sure if I'll continue only because I have a lot of comics to catch up on & read.
Representation matters, glad the main character is a poc. I hope this series continues.
