Still need to buy the latest SVT graphic novel, but I did read it via Libby. As per usual, it included a preview of the next one. WHY DO ALL THE ONES I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR THE STORY HAVE THE SHITTY ARTIST? Ahem. Sorry. Not shitty but the one whose SV work is... ehhhhh.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

God the artist is just...ok the changes they made are bad enough. I get diversity but could we at least make cousins Janet & Lila the same race? The twins have what almost seem like orange hair. I have been reading them from the library but they are too expensive to buy when I can't stand the style. Unfortunately I had bought 2-4 when I realized the artist had changed. I gave them to my cousin's kid. She doesn't have decades of picturing SV characters to have trampled on.

I think they're alternating artists at this point and one of them I like (I don't love *all* the changes as Blond Bruce is Not My Bruce Patman), and they're the 'main' artist and I think they generally do the covers and then there's the other one who did Nora's book and Brooke's book and uuuuuuuuuuuugh, their style is just off enough that I spent the entire book wishing we'd just waited another month or three for the main artist. And then I feel like an asshole because art is subjective and all that jazz and there are moments in each of those books that I do like but overall it's like the universe has chosen the secondary characters I like and said no pretty art for you.
