I found the steampunk, alternate history take on Frankenstein really neat. The art was unexpectedly horrifying in the best way -- those witch owls are scary! The world of The Witch Owl Parliament was rich and full of things to explore. I found the pacing of the story a bit overwhelming as so much was thrown at the reader at once that it was hard to get a grasp on what was happening and why. I almost think the bonus short story at the end of the volume would've worked better at the beginning to provide a primer to the world. The Witch Owl Parliament wasn't for me but was definitely a unique graphic novel.
