I love the art and love that it continues the story from the series in a way that makes sense. It ties into other monsters and we see where the characters from the show are now.

Reading this for this Holiday Adventureathon
Challenge: presents: read a book you received as a gift.

Love love loved this show when it was on. So sad when it ended. So you cannot imagine how happy I was when I saw one of the shows producers what going to continue the series via books. And a graphic novel so it’s like watching the show again! Can’t wait to see where this goes! It’s gonna be awesome!

If you liked the show, no. This was painful.

Very minor spoilers ahead.

We've got a basic plot point of The Mummy, (some of the names even sound similar), and the super unique army of zombies. Really? Zombies? Zombies are overused, there are better supernatural stories that could have been used that would have fit the style of the show. This was frustrating to read as the show was absolutely phenomenal and I was excited to see where it could go.
