A very quick story, but manages to tell a full story in a fun way. The plot of this goes VERY quickly, and the ending wraps up a bit too fast for my taste. The story has the main characters being hockey players by "day" and monster hunters at night. The story doesn't go too deeply into the hockey aspect or the monster hunter aspect but still manages to balance both in a fun way. The story goes a little overboard with the hockey in the dialogue, but eh. I just wish that this volume wasn't only 174ish pages, but longer somewhere around 300+ to give the story some room to breathe. I really enjoyed the art! The art is my favorite thing about this story. Also, not going to lie the title being "The Sin Bin" threw me off at first. I had no idea that "Sin Bin" is just another term for "Penalty Box" prior to reading this. The way I had always seen the term "Sin Bin" used, though mostly online, was in reference to NSFW. Needless to say, I was extremely confused before reading this.

If Supernatural had a fun hockey collaboration!

If you have ever wondered what Supernatural would be like if the Winchesters played hockey, this is the graphic novel for you! This story is going to pull the reader in with flashy sports references at first. There are excellent illustrations and the exposition hints at tantalizing fights to come.

However, then everything takes a turn for the paranormal and just like the main character, you’ll be solving the mystery, panting to know what happens next. There is excellent storytelling within these pages and I was hooked to know more.

This story does give a clear ending, but I would love to have more set within this universe. All in all, dive into this story and prepare yourself for some fantastic illustrations and superbly written mystery!

This was a weird book bro. I had no idea what genre this was especially towards the end. Conceptually not uninteresting, but definitely rushed in parts. Not a bad read.
