Description:
After defeating her evil teacher, Oddly and friends are shocked when Ragna and
Reggie’s father returns planning on using Oopie for his mad experiments. This
sends the whole of Fignation into turmoil as old enemies resurface, a superhero
team faces off against an old nemesis, and Oopie gets in big trouble.
Opinion: Oddly
is a girl many can relate too—she’s weird, she has no friends, her parents
ignore her. Going to Fignation she gets the same thing—all the weird creatures
there are normal and she’s the odd half-human! Luckily, she makes a few friends
which readers will enjoy meeting since they play on classic monster types.
Readers who enjoy mysteries will like trying to figure out what connection
Oddly’s new literature professor has to her mother and her parents’
disappearance. I much prefer the art of the first volume, which was done by the
author, to the art of the second volume which was cartoonier and
manga-inspired. Sadly, only two volumes of this comic were published and volume
two ends with a huge gap of open-ended questions.
