Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.
“Sharky Malarkey follows the adventures of Bruce, a washed-up shark actor, and a colorful assortment of dysfunctional people, animals, and inanimate objects.
Bruce is equally outlandish and relatable—he’s vain but insecure; hotheaded but cowardly; craves attention but fears intimacy—his over-the-top antics are all too human.”
Oh. My. God. This collection, based on the webcomic, WAS SO GOOD. Holy shit, man. The title and cover had me pulled in immediately and I was hooked from page 1. I laughed out loud throughout, and my 13-year-old brother even loved it. I’ve been telling all my friends about how hilarious it is, and I can’t stop gushing!
The art is beautiful and silly, the humour is slightly political and hard-hitting, but done in a really classy way. I loved how real it was, while still being about an actor shark. I cannot wait to see what’s coming next from Megan Dong; whatever it is, I want to read it.
Sharky Malarkey comes out September 18th, 2018, and I highly recommend you preorder or pick up a copy.
