Choosing between living the life you want and living the life you're "supposed to have" is not always an easy choice. Noah, embracing his true-self, wants to pursue a career in costume design, something his loving, public service parents would never approve of. Azarie, the perfect, model daughter of a very stern, traditional family, dreams of embracing the hobbies she secretly loves, hobbies her social circle would never abide by. The two live different lives and their social statuses keep them from ever crossing paths until they have a chance encounter that exposes some common ground: the desire to be who they truly are. Together, the two set out to put it all on the line and show everyone what they're made of and what they want to achieve in the form of cosplay. Their growing friendship will be tested and their faith in themselves, as well as each other, will be tried. Up-and-coming writer David Pinckney (Fight Like a Girl) and first-time graphic novel artist Ennun Ana Iurov introduce a coming-of-age yarn about self-discovery, resilience, and the enduring power of having a person believe in you!… (mehr)

Needle and Thread is a great story about a young man's dream to create costumes and a young woman's dream to follow her own heart.

This story took a bit for me to get into, but once I finally got captured it was all or nothing. I seriously loved the story line of following these high schoolers and seeing them develop. They all have difficult journeys they have to make, but all of them geek out together, learn, grow and make epic cosplay costumes! The illustrations were a little weird to me at first, but they grow on you too. This is just an excellent story of art, friendship and personal growth.

This is a real winner for me!

Three out of five stars.

Noah enjoys sewing and knitting; his dream is to study costume design at art college. Azarie is the daughter of the mayor who is running for election and demands that the family project a certain image for his constituents. Noah's parents want him to attend UCLA because there's no future in sewing; Azarie hides her love for comics and cosplay from her crew of popular friends. Noah and Azarie end up forming an unlikely friendship based on cosplay but the friendship is fraught as Azarie bends to pressure from her father and friends. Both teens feel the weight of expectations and long for the freedom of pursuing their passions. It's reassuring for readers that Noah and Azarie find their kindred spirits but I found the parents of both a tad over-severe and unyielding in their expectations. ( )

Decent story about the struggle to choose your passion over your family's expectations. The familial expectations felt a little over the top on both sides, but the friendships and the community of cosplayers was pretty cool. The graphic element was a little rough, but worked.

First, I’m in LOVE with the adorable art style and color palette though the art does make Noah’s father look chinless in side profile.

As far as the story, I was rooting for Noah’s seamstress dreams. I’ve seen that men’s fashion can be spectacular when it wants to be (shout out the men’s 70s fashion and Wisdom Kaye). I also love that he’s understanding but not a pushover either. It’s a fine balance, and he has it. Platonic friendship is the center here, and I thought that was lovely though someone was a flaky mcflakerson.

The misunderstood rich white girl gets old, and I don’t know why it couldn’t just focus on Noah. In the era of blockbuster Marvel movies is liking comics still so weird? Maybe Azarie’s friends just didn’t get her, but it felt like a dated thing to tease someone about. I don’t like to make comparisons, but this… is exactly Trixie Tang’s arc in the Fairly Oddparents. A rich girl who liked comics and stereotypically-“boy” things. Back then, superhero media wasn’t as mainstream either. Now, the cosplay thing makes sense; that’s still seen as dorky and weird

Of course, I definitely still liked the story. Popular kids (and mean girls) having depth is one of my favorite tropes. And focusing on a cosplay group is something different than I expected and enjoyed.
