Ken is a teenage boy who loves racing and one day stumbles upon a ghost named Dante, a racing legend who hasn't been able to move on from his ghostly existence. This book takes you on a wild ride with a cast of quirky characters and various monster species. The LGBT love story at the heart of this graphic novel kept me reading and though I don't care for racing in real life I certainly enjoyed it mixed with this magic world. I would read more from this author! I overall really enjoyed this.

Fantastic, inviting, and colorful. This is a full reading experience from a creative talent whose work explores the supernatural and imaginative.

**Disclaimer: I recieved a free eARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.  This storyline was so cute.  I think the characters were really cool, and I loved the fantasy elements that were so fully incorporated.  I also thought the racing storyline was really neat.  It's not my usual favourite premise, but it ended up being really interesting.  I loved the slowburn of the love story.  The characters were really interesting.

Hex Americana is an upcoming graphic novel by Bree D. Wolf, a cartoonist and game designer who has been involved in the creation of several board games, video games, comics, and stuff. The novel is a teenage romantic fantasy with the background of car racing and explores several themes like loss, grief, closure, teenage issues, homophobia, corporatization, cultural differences, and then some more.

Hex Americana is an entertaining ride on every page and only partly because of the race car driving. Set in a fantasy version of America (chicken-people, witches, ghosts, friendly monsters of all kinds), the story follows Ken’s adventure into the world a racing, love, and reckoning with your past. While definitely a light and fun tale, the characters deal with real issues in a meaningful way. And the art is filled with incredible looking people and action sequences that will keep you flipping back to marvel at the creativity of the world of the story.
