Writer Kevin Panetta and artist Savanna Ganucheau concoct a delicious recipe of intricately illustrated baking scenes and blushing young love, in which the choices we make can have terrible. With ‘ Bloom II‘ schedules for release in 2023 we might see some more complexity, and the secondary characters fleshed out more… I’m looking forward to this sequel. As cute as ‘ Bloom‘ is, it felt a little flat. I felt like I needed to see a lot more to happen. The story, because it is simple in plot and structure is very predictable, but don’t let that discourage you from a beautifully innocent tale. They were friends, and suddenly seeming boyfriends… nothing is addressed before the story ends. I feel cheated as a reader that there was no build-up and pay-off for their relationship. The relationship with Hector jumpstarts with a kiss, there felt like there was little build up or angst. Savanna Ganucheau is a comic artist living in Australia, with a BFA in film from the University of New Orleans. He lives in Washington, DC, with his cool wife and two cool dogs. I would have liked some more examination into his isolation and sadness, maybe uncover the contributing factors to give the reader a full character arc. Kevin came to writing after years dedicated to comics as a reader, retailer, and convention organizer. Ari’s feelings aren’t thoroughly explored – why he’s so unhappy.
