review:
'Happiness Will Follow' by Mike Hawthorne is a graphic novel autobiography of Mike Hawthorne who was raised by his mother, Blanca.

Mike and his mother Blanca, fought to keep food on the table. They fought a family that didn't want them. Mike and his mother fought too, but that was mainly Mike getting abused by his mother. Blanca has a lot to make her angry, and the only one to take it out on is Mike. He shows how complicated people can be, so Blanca is never just a one dimensional person.

This kind of story can feel pretty one-sided, but Mike Hawthorne makes sure the angles are seen. This must have been a painful and cathartic story to write. Mike's art here is as good as his other work in the Marvel books I know him from. This kind of story takes a lot of courage to tell.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from BOOM! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
