This is a graphic novel adaptation of Kim Harrison's first book in the Hollows series, Dead Witch Walking. It's been a lot time since I read the first book but I love the series and was really looking forward to seeing the characters brought to life in picture. I was disappointed. The characters look nothing like I had envisioned them in my mind, and while that's no fault of the author or the artist, it's still an issue for me. Also, you lose something in the graphic novel. Even with all it's pictures there isn't nearly as much detail as in the actual book.

Since this was a world and characters I am familiar with I particularly enjoyed the notes and discussion with the author and the various conversations with the penciller about making the image match the vision.

I picked this up from the library this afternoon. I promptly sat down and read it. I literally couldn't put it down til I finished it. I love the story of Ivy and Rachel's first meeting. It was a very well done graphic novel and a wonderful story.

I bought this years ago to have a complete set, but it just didn't work for me. I really didn't enjoy the artwork and it felt like the artist was focused on their breasts than their faces. Being as this was a prequel, favorite characters like Jenks, Al, and Trent were absent and it was felt. I enjoy Ivy and Rach, but the format and length prohibited the slow burn that was their relationship.

This graphic novel is the story of how Ivy and Rachel meet at the IS. It's a fun story and the illustrations are pretty good.

Still like the books better, but graphic novels are certainly growing on me.

I can’t believe I waited all these years to read the graphic novels! I love getting to see Rachel and Ivy meet for the first time and to get an inside look into Ivy’s mind. Seeing Kisten with Ivy was weird and sad but bittersweet. I love the edition at the end, I was not expecting the guy to be watching to be __!! It’s crazy seeing everything setting up for the series!

This is probably 2.5 stars but I'm late to this particular party so we'll roll with it. I read the second graphic novel a few years ago, probably shortly after it came out, but somehow never read the first. Since The Hollows is getting another book (pardon me while I scream happily), I figured I should go back and fill in my memory gaps.
Honestly, this one isn't terrible it's just... average? If you love the artwork, you might feel completely differently, btw. It wasn't the worst I've ever seen but it didn't do much for me most of the time. I could work with that if anything about this story felt like it had to be told in graphic novel/comic form. It doesn't. It actually seems far better suited to a regular book, or short story as the format adds nothing to the story for me. I get that for awhile every series seemed to get a comic adaptation for... whatever reason and hell, if it made KH happy to branch out this way, that's fine.

As The Hollows is one of my favorite series, I had to get the graphic novel. I enjoyed it and loved some of the artwork, but didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I can't put my finger on why not though...
