CIHS: Comic I Haven’t Seen: Wannabe

Bob commented a few days ago that he’d like to see “room for fresh ideas … a Comics I Haven’t Seen page spinoff”.

This seemed like a good idea, so we are going to occasionally feature comics that at least one editor isn’t that familiar with, and that haven’t shown up on CIDU much. Some of these you will like — with others we will save you the trouble of investigating them further.

Today’s inaugural edition features Wannabe, by Luca Debus, available at GoComics.

Wannabe focuses on the lives of three main characters: McKenzie, Andy, and Margot. … McKenzie has no idea what she wants to be, but she knows exactly how to reach it: through the magical powers of social media. Andy wants to be a playwright, but has no idea how to become one. And Margot is completely lost, she doesn’t know what she wants to be, nor how to get there.”

There’s definitely a Gen Z vibe here, but with a bit more problem-solving than, say, Dustin.
