The Gloom Cookie series focuses on Isabella, Damion, Lex, Max, Chrys, Sebastian, and Vermilion. The story at first begins with Lex's love for Max and how he does not return it. It then evolves from a simple love story to an amazing complicated world of lovable monsters and fallen creatures. As the series progresses the plot gets a lot more complicated and intense.
The only problem I have with this series is that it first begins with Ted Naifeh as its artist but in the following issues Naifeh is replaced by John Gebbia and the art really does go downhill unfortunately. Currently though Serena Valentio, the great author has joined forces with another artist, Harley Sparx and the artwork has thankfully improved. Throughout the changing artists though the plot still remains great.

 The following is a cover done by Naifeh for Gloom Cookie. Notice the attention to detail.

Compare this to later artwork done by John Gebbia. Much more detail is put into Naifeh's cover than Gabber's.

The following is artwork done by Harley, in which the same amount of detail that Naifeh put into his, Sparx also put.
