They’re going to help so many high school and college readers I can see that already. I love that these books take place in college, because so few do. These boys go through so much–and it’s all relatable and well-written. The characters deal with anxiety, depression, coming out, and so much more.

Check Please is constantly handling important, big issues, in this brightly-colored comic that also had me laughing too much to myself.

I loved him from the start, but I was so proud of how far he’s come! With his confidence, his skills–on the ice, and in the oven. It’s amazing how much Bitty has developed as a character between page one and the final chapters. Volume one is freshman and sophomore years volume two is junior and senior. Like volume one, Sticks & Scones follows Eric ‘Bitty’ Bittle’s college years. This second volume (which I realized upon opening would be the LAST) is an incredible conclusion. The cast of characters is diverse, and even readers who know absolutely nothing about hockey (or sports in general) will love and cheer on these boys to victory. It’s fun, funny, and incredibly endearing. This webcomic turned graphic novel heals my heart. And on top of that, Bitty’s time at Samwell is quickly coming to an end…It’s two full hockey seasons packed with big wins and high stakes!Ī collection of the second half of the mega-popular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: Sticks and Scones is the last in a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best four years of your life.Ĭheck, Please! is something that makes me so happy that when I think about it I literally want to cry happy tears.
