This graphic novel is about three sisters in a punk band. One of them is a ghost, the second one is a lesbian, and the third one is a wheelchair-user. It was an okay story, but nothing special for me, and I didn't really like the art style. I loved the relationships between the three sisters, though.

I can't remember when I got my hands on this, but I did, and I immediately returned it. The art inside doesn't match the cover at all - I was a bit surprised! Definitely wouldn't have picked it up had I known. Color me shallow, I know, but good art is usually a bigger draw for me than a good story. (I mean, if I want a good story, I'll go read a traditional book, you know? I read GNs for the art.)

Definitely intended for middle school audiences. There's not much plot other than 3 sisters touring as a punk band. One of them is a ghost but that is pretty much inconsequential to the story. It felt like this may have been planned to go longer and was cancelled. I liked the inclusivity but this was a little too twee for me and the art is terrible.

Whatever you do, do NOT read the back cover blurb before reading the book. There's a really stupid spoiler in the back cover text, and the story works better if that one thing isn't spoiled.That said, this is a remarkably weird book, more mature than most of the Boom Box publications. I'd have to say that it was written for teens, but has a very cartoony feel to the artwork that may confuse browsers.The band is on the road after a terrible car crash from which the three sisters have mostly recov...

3.5 starsA fun comic with a light dusting of commentary about physical accessibility, feminism, and intersectionality in punk music culture. There's a sight supernatural element, sure, but the funniest stuff all comes from the music-related moments.The last issue feels rushed and Criss is an afterthought for most of the story, but the book's biggest hurdle is that the the characters look more like 10-year-olds than teens (It doesn't help that Coady wears almost the same outfit as Dipper from Gra...

I got hooked on Coady and The Creepies as soon as I reached the ending of the 1st issue, simply because it went down such an unexpected road that I was quite literally left dumbfounded. Had I read the blurb the surprise would have been 100% ruined, but I thankfully went into this not knowing what the expect and it payed off so much in the end. And I'm just now laughing at myself for thinking this would be just anther contemporary graphic novel like Giant Days and the like.So this comic is es

Holy shit! I was really excited when I heard about this book, so I grabbed it from Liz Prince at DINK and I am so fucking glad I did.It's a ludicrously socially/politically-conscious story about an all-girl band, at least one of whom is gay, traumatized, and disabled (each, respectively). It lovingly explores punk culture and history. It's also a spooky mystery full of supernatural horror tropes. And on top of all of that it's just really fucking fun! The jokes are super funny, the characters ar...

Liked the art, and love the thoughts of inclusivity behind the book, but in the end it was all a bit too haphazard and twee for me.

Another fun and spooky all ages comic with great laughs and a great message, Coady and the Creepies celebrates the exuberance of the punk scene and the paranormal. While I’m a fan of Liz Prince’s work, I was not expecting to enjoy this quite as much as I did, having only read her autobiographical works, but she definitely showed her ability to write fun fiction as well. Along with Amanda Kirk’s expressive art, Coady and the Creepies would be a great choice to while away a spooky autumn evening,

(First poster on booksyaknow.wordpress.com)Coady and the Creepies is a four issue mini series from BOOM! Box (a teenage oriented imprint from BOOM! Studios). As I make a point of getting every comic published by BOOM! Box, I got a subscription to this one when it was announced, despite not actually being that interested in it. I didn’t read the singles as they came out, but waited until this week and read them all in one go after I got the last one.Let me tell you, I was surprised and delighted....

A middle grade book about punk music and a band of sister playing all the punk venues in the states. I can see a lot of people being into this and it's great for that edgy teen looking for some creepy tales. The band is on the road and they run into all kinds of trouble trying to stop them. One of the band mates is a ghost actually and no one knows. The band is really popular and well loved, but there are people who don't like it that girls play punk. I didn't think it was that creepy or even th...

This is adorable and SO MUCH FUN. Ghosts, punk rock, enamel pins, nonsense . . . what's not to love?!

3.5 stars because I got a bit confused at times on spacial references. Like I didn’t understand where they were in relation to each other in some scenes. And it mattered, at some points, if ppl were in earshot or not. Art was cool & unique and so was the plot. 9/10 will buy volume 2.

A really fun read that mixes feminism, punk rock, and ghosts! I would definitely recommend this to people who like Lumberjanes, or just cute stories about girls helping girls.

Punk Rock meets Scooby Doo meets Pokémon badge collecting for punk shows! This one is so wacky!Are ghosts real and what if one of your family members kept the secret of their death from you? Join a punk band, a chimichanga eating roadie, and a rival band named the boneheads on a punk tour adventure! Great for middle school students and high school students! So much fun!

A cute, family and friendship focused story, about three sisters in a punk band, traveling and collecting enamel pins from their stops. The twist--they were in a bad car accident, and each suffered in different ways. Their secrets have consequences, and danger lurks.Despite the ghoulish themes, this is a pretty light hearted story. There's plenty of love, friendship, cute pins, and inclusivity to go around.

Punk-rock, feminism, and the importance of family. A fun, lighthearted read about all girl punk rock band, the Creepies. The art was alright and there were some hilarious moments, but definitely not one to think too hard about the logic in the world-building.

A punk rock ghost story graphic novel about a band made up of three sisters, setting out on their first tour after an accident. They're on a quest to complete a punk challenge by playing at a list of legendary clubs, but various obstacles get in their way, from a misogynistic rival band to an evil promoter. There's strong queer, disability, and POC rep, plus plenty of shenanigans and a strong bond between the sisters. My ten year old son and I both adored this. Profoundly feminist and inclusive,...

Having read - and loved! - the first issue of “Coady & The Creepies” earlier this year, I knew I’d have to get my hands on the trade paperback collection when it was released. Lo and behold, I got it as a gift for Christmas and devoured it almost immediately. What a fun, wacky, witty, and inclusive book! As I finished reading the final pages, I thought to myself, “why can’t more comics be like this?” but of course Liz Prince and Amanda Kirk just make it look easy.Coady is the drummer for The Cre...

This is a very light supernatural story about three twin sisters touring with their punk rock group collecting all the pins from different popular punk venues, being dope as hell, and kicking butt. There's some incorporation of popular ghost lore, they battle against harassers and dudebros, tackle the issues of wheelchair accessibility and exclusion, as well as toxic masculinity within the punk community that stems from the origins of the movement and how that should 100% be something left behin...
