Comic Watch - Aaron Kleinman
Jul 28, 2021Comics is a medium that has always been filled with the weird and the wacky. Sweet Paprika is a book that looks at that aspect, and turns it up to 11. Issue 1 of Sweet Paprika is a wild ride from the first to the last page. This is a book to keep your eye on for sure. Especially with an animated show on the way. Read Full Review

COMICON - Olly MacNamee
Jul 06, 2021Sweet Paprika mixes up elements of classic Hollywood rom-coms with a good, healthy dose of sexiness and sensuality in a comical debut of a New York inhabited by both Devils and Angels. But, who'd have though the devilish Paprika would be so devout when it comes to her sex life? A raunchy read from start to finish. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Jul 27, 2021Sweet Paprika is a great start to a series that has a unique story about sexual discovery and the modern problem of being addicted to work. It's a comic that confronts the very human nature to tamp down our true selves with satirical and sometimes sensitive character writing. Read Full Review

Comics Bookcase - Jacob Cordas
Jul 28, 2021Sweet Paprika #1 is a heartfelt horndog of a comic. By becoming the high art version of a weird corner on Deviant Art, it will win over even the most repressed of its readers. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Jul 24, 2021So while Sweet Paprika #1 plays most of its moments for the sake of humor here, it does feel like the story is setting up something that could grow into more than steamy momentsand over-the-top comedy. Whether or not Andolfo and company deliver that deeper story is something only time will tell. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 28, 2021The contrast between Paprika and Dill is enjoyable enough in the first issue. Still, a long-term run with these two characters will have to develop a bit more substance if its going to be able to develop into much more than Archie-for-adults. Andolfo has proven that she can do this before on more than one occasion, so theres really no questioning that this is worth investing the time in. It may seem silly. It may seem goofy. It may even seem kind of sexy. But its definitely worth a readers time. Read Full Review

I'm not sure if this is related to Mirka Andolfo's other title UnSacred, but it's already clear that this will be a book of fun and sexy times. Only time will tell if the plot goes anywhere interesting, there's not enough to make a judgment on that yet.
