a YA graphic novel monster hunter story - an easy fun read but not particularly original as far as the genre.

Pretty good but the art is rather simple at times and hard to follow and it shoves you into the action with little background and leaves you to figure it out. Also felt a bit childish but since it's aimed for kids, makes sense. Overall, a good monster hunting graphic novel for readers moving into J fiction.

I enjoyed the action in Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter. At first, the story is confusing because it drops the reader into the middle of the action without explanation. The plot slowly unravels and probably makes reading the book more exciting for teens, but I was just confused. The art was wonderful, but I was disappointed to see that the speech bubbles were so large. At times, the white space was overwhelming and I just wanted to see more of the background scenery. Overall, it was enjoyable.

This was different. I liked the overall story but didn't like the style it was told in. Not the comic, the actual story. For one thing, I felt like I was missing too much back story. It was too jerky and abrupt. It was like reading a rough draft instead of the final. Anyway, it was fine but nothing special.

Scarlett Hart is an underage monster hunter who has the police after her for illegal monster hunting.. When she uncovers a plot by a fellow monster hunter to create monsters so he could kill them and collect the ransom, Scarlett defies the law to stop his mad plan. Scarlett Hart is a fun adventure romp full of brave heroes, dastardly villains, and exciting thrills. Readers will like Scarlett's willingness to do the right thing and bravery even though everyone around her keeps telling her she's too young. Yet, it is an adult monster hunter who is irresponsibly endangering people by creating monsters just so he could collect the bounty. Overall Scarlett Hart, Monster Hunter is an exciting back with a lesson about how adults are not necessarily always right just because they are adults.

Sadly underwhelming. A lot of work and thought went into this but it didn’t live up to my expectations. Having seen what Sedgwick is capable in traditional prose, I expected more storytelling here but it never gelled. Taylor's artwork is unique and the color palette is interesting but many of the panels felt static and lacking in the dynamism and motion I've come to expect from well-done graphic novels. Kids who are fans of monsters and action will enjoy this one. Readers looking for more nuance will be better served elsewhere.
