I really loved Dodge City's diverse cast of characters. They're fun and this was a great introduction to them. I want to see more of them in depth with their backstories and relationships. Unfortunately, this was released in 2018 and I can't find any mention of a continuation, even tough it left off a heavy suggestion of more to come. There's a lot of potential here and I hope there'll be another volume eventually.

One of the things I really liked, was there was some Spanish dialogue that was woven in and it wasn't translated on the page. I thought that was really cool!

The art style was brilliant. It did a great job adding a lot of visual character, and the action of the dodgeball scenes felt fast-paced.

My biggest complaint was the pacing of the plot. It felt all over the place and creates some things that don't make sense. For example, Tomás is new to dodgeball and is set up as not knowing any of the rules but it turns out he has some natural talent, so then he's made team captain for some reason?
