Alice Oseman posted the epilogue for her webcomic, Heartstopper today and I cannot help feeling bittersweet. I've been reading it for over nine years. In 2017, I started reading a good amount of webcomics, mostly all queer ones. Heartstopper was one of the ones I connected with on so many levels. I adore how Alice shows so many different identities in all of her stories. Many can find someone they relate to in them.
This world has been a joy to watch evolve and I have adored following these characters. Nick, Charlie, Tao, Tori, Elle, Tara, Darcy, etc. have grown so much from the first chapters all those years ago. I loved seeing their journey. These characters hold a special place in my heart.
I will be picking up Volume 6 for my collection and will reread this section like I did for ever other volume. Alice Oseman has a wonderful style in her illustrations and character work. I look forward to seeing what she will work on after this.
