4.5

 Fun read. Filled with likable characters and a mysterious setting that draws you in. The only problems that made it not a 5 were I felt the art was lacking at times(having a style not fully consistent with the cover and looking noticeably messy in many panels) and my personal annoyance towards fake cussing ("what the junk" is a reoccurring phrase and it drives me a little up the wall)

However, despite enjoying it alot. Its quite a long series and unless the next few volumes really hook me, I don't see myself reading 70+ issues of it.

I read this a few years ago and retained very few memories about it. Now that I’ve re-read it to read the entire series, I can definitely remember why it appealed to me so much when I was younger.

I feel like it’s got a start that’s just enough to pull you in and get you interested in the story, with characters well written enough to keep my attention. While each character is a little trope-y, I don’t mind it and think they hold up pretty well on their own. I also really enjoyed the twist on Girl Scouts, it just appealed to me.

The art style feels very unique and really lends to the tone/setting of the book. Though there were a couple instances actions/scenes were hard to read it was never so much that it ruined the story. Just a matter of the artwork not conveying action in a way I could understand.

While I think it’s a pretty good start to the series, I did also feel pretty lost. Which is something I remember feeling when I first read the book. I trust that it will be revealed as the story goes on, but I can understand why it might put some people off from the series.
