I’m not even really sure what I have read, or if the author even read the source material. I’m all for creative license but this felt like it jumped the shark a bit.

This set of graphic novels just isn't working for me. I love the Alpha & Omega books by Patricia Briggs, but the translation into graphic novel format is problematic. The narrative is very choppy, and there's not enough explanation of the very involved plotlines to have them all make sense. My main complaint, however, is with the illustrations. The style chosen is so cartoon-like that the characters are practically lost. I'm all for artistic expression, but Anna in the graphic novels is just big hair and big boobs, with weird facial expressions and none of the charm of Anna from the books. Charles seems to change from page to page, and certainly doesn't have the stature or presence I'd expect. Some of the characters are rather indistinguishable, and I really didn't like the portrayals of Bran and Samuel. I read the two Alpha & Omega graphic novels out of curiosity, to see how they'd work in this format. The short answer is, not very well.

The art was really bad, worse than the first one.
And the plot was still a retelling of the novel with some key details changed. Some made sense for graphic novel format and some just seemed like unnecessary changes.
And there was nothing new added to the story except more info on Walter's knife.

Just a graphic novel version of the book. Clearly the book is going to be more in-depth, but it's been nice to be able to quickly reread a story I enjoyed the first time around.
