The Backstagers #1 of 8 eBook James Tynion IV Rian Sygh Reviews
I think The Backstagers is going to be one of those comics that completely change the game in terms of LGBTQIAP+ representation. I’m not saying other comics don’t have great representation, but I’m saying that I’m loving the representation here, and the fact that it has an openly bisexual writer and an openly trans artist is even better.
What I liked
- Our protagonist, Jory. I could relate so well to Jory in his struggle to fit in to a new school, especially an all-boys school in which he feels he doesn’t have a place among his peers. I immediately took to him and l loved seeing the way his expressions were so open and honest; you could really see how Jory felt in each panel. Also, how cool is it that our protagonist is black? I loved that. I feel like there isn’t enough representation of PoC in literature, so this was amazing.
- The art. Gosh, the way this was drawn was so incredible. I didn’t find it difficult to follow the story at all, which is sometimes a problem that I encounter when reading comic books. Also, every character’s emotion was easy to read, and I could almost see the way they moved around the spaces they inhabited.
- The story is funny and endearing. At its heart, it’s about finding a group of people to fit in with, but it’s also about solving a certain dilemma while getting to know this new group of people.
- The Backstagers themselves were such a great group that I’m excited to know more of them in future issues. There’s Sasha, Aziz, Hunter, and Beckett. I can’t choose a favorite between them, because they all had something different that made them unique. I think I really liked Hunter in this comic though, because he’s flirtatious and funny. He was also drawn as fat, so seeing an underrepresented body in fiction and not be fat-shamed was nice to see.
My only strife with this comic is the fact that it was so short and I don’t have the next copy with me GAH! I really want to read what happens next but at the same time I feel like I might wait until the collection is out so I don’t have to wait in between issues.
But, overall, I really enjoyed reading this comic and I cannot wait to see more of The Backstagers.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley. This in no way influenced my review.
The Backstages is a difficult one for me to review; this is a short first introductory issue that pretty much sets up the premise of the series (magical realism, friendships, bonding, lots of drama) that may or may not get better as it goes on. Honestly, there wasn't enough to go on yet but I can say it definitely is a trippy story.
Jory is a bit of a loner and having to deal with a new school to boot. He'd rather draw in the bushes during breaks but is also pushed to do extra-curricular activities and socialize. On a whim, he checks out the drama club and looks to join. What he finds is a whole group of interesting and quirky people - from the narcissistic actors to the down-to-Earth and yet very otherworldly stage crew. It's with the creative and crazy stage crew that he finds his 'home'.
The authors definitely have a distinct voice and the art also supports that vision well. If you like zaniness, irreverence, and something very different (if perhaps very strange), this will work for you. Indeed, few graphic novels from the West have ever approached the absolute distinct originality of Japanese manga (where, e.g., a boy can wake up with his girlfriend suddenly replacing his right hand) like The Backstagers does so well.
So why the 4 star rating? It's really not enough to know whether the characters will grow on me or not. Pretty much, the entire first book is Jory just passively agog at the outrageous antics of the people in drama disciplines. I didn't really get a feel for him yet and the characters were so gregarious as to almost be ciphers (though, again, that perfectly represents the drama of theater). It didn't hook me in enough to want to read further but I definitely applaud and appreciate the creativity and originality here. This isn't your father's comic, that's for sure. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.
This comic deals with issues larger than it's pages can contain- loneliness, anxiety, and the separation between actors and technicians. As a theater technician, I appreciated the humor and wonderful artwork! Sometimes back stage/ under the trap doors really can feel like a fantasy land!
Being Prop Master in my college days this brought back some really fun memories of that time. I enjoyed the art style, the bright colors, and the characters. Joey was cute as the main character, wanting to fit in at his new all boys school (which I enjoyed) And instead of being an actor, he finds his way back stage and on an adventure with the rest of the backstagers. I liked it a lot. I can see some real potential there.
I've been really excited about reading this comic since seeing a promo for it in the end of another comic, and it did NOT disappoint! Every page was beautiful, funny, and heartwarming and the characters are instantly lovable. I can't wait to read the next installment!
