"The Backstagers Volume 1 is set, well, backstage, following a ragtag stage crew as they deal with snooty actors, friendship drama, and otherworldly monsters. Wait, what? See, there’s a door backstage that leads to a corridor, which leads to other doors, which lead to other worlds. Some of them are harmless and fun, like the one populated with supernatural creatures attracted to the color red, while others are more menacing. Writer James Tynion IV’s characters are fun and distinctive, and Rian Sygh’s art brings them all to charming, colorful life. If you’re looking for a magical-realist graphic novel that’s cute and just a bit creepy, this is one for you."
