Reviews
[Thirsty Mermaids] isn't just high-concept fun....It's a very down-to-earth kind of magic and a visual parallel to the inclusive world [Leyh] writes....a joyful universe. -The Comics Journal Rollicking....wonderfully diverse....Leyh neatly marries the book's themes of friendship, acceptance, and diversity of experience with fantastical elements...and boisterous humor....The book breezes along, grounded by the characters' kindness and affection for one another. A bright, bold shot of fun with a chaser of feels. -Kirkus Reviews Delightfully told....Leyh's art is the perfect complement to the raucous nature of [the] protagonists, with bold, vibrant colors and designs leaping off the page....Recommended for grown fans of My Little Pony, buddy comedies, and sea witches. -Booklist (starred review) Smart, heartfelt, and hilarious....Each page vibrates with glowing colors, lending energy to Leyh's already raucous (and bodily diverse) character designs; even the lettering feels full of life. This modern myth-bending escapade from a rising comics star serves up humor and light. -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
