Compared to [b:Bitten|11918|Bitten (Otherworld, #1)|Kelley Armstrong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1306101770l/11918._SY75_.jpg|2606334], I've only read this comic once. Now, as then, I had some trouble with it. The art isn't quite my cup of tea, and the format of the book is messy - the middle part of the pages is cut strangly, making the speads and even the normal pages hard to read.
I also had some trouble with how the story was told. It isn't as dark or animalistic as it is described in the book. It's a stupid thing to get hung up on, but I did.
I do like the Legacy pages, however! They're really interesting, as long as I think of them as written AFTER the series is over. And the last two spreads with Clay just breaks my heart.
So not a bad comic, but not something I reread for the fun of it. One could say that's because of the tone of the story, but I don't mind that. It's more about the quality of the book, unfortunatly.
Keeping the original rating.

Great short story/graphic novel of after Clay bites Elena, and yeah, so good and sad at the same time!!! Half of me thinks that she never should have forgiven Clay for what he did, and the other half is just so glad that she did!!

This is a painful, and well written, well illustrated look on what the change was like for Elena at first. It is an essential read for any fans of the Otherworld series.

This is a great little peak into what Elena went through after being bitten by Clay.

One of the best graphic adaptions of characters I've read with an original story line.
Will have to find the other graphic novels set in this world.

I read this graphic novel previously but read it again in order to re-acclimate myself to the werewolves of the Otherworld series. This is probably my favorite graphic novel to date, although my history with them is limited. The graphic novel upholds the "graphic" aspect of its name and shows some pretty gruesome transformations for Elena and subsequent consequences of her becoming a werewolf. The transformation process is not quite as smooth as it is in my head but that is probably because I often skip the difficult part and just picture a gorgeous wolf, better on my mind's eyes that way! Becoming follows the story about how Elena comes to be a werewolf well, it is not vague and does not skip key bits of information (which other GN seem to do). I think Armstrong does an excellent job with the werewolf sub-genre and her collaboration with the artist was well-done.
