I don't usually read graphic novels, and I've only read one once before, electronically. This was my first physical one. Picked it up bc I'm not at my own house and the power went out. I devoured almost the entire thing by book light before going to sleep. 

Just finished it and I definitely want to read more!

Somehow, I hadn't read this yet, but the movie is coming out soon, so I figured it was about time! It's right up my alley, so I don't know why it never made it into my pile. Not surprisingly, I loved it! Great characters, a fun art style, magic, sci-fi, there's a little something for everyone in this story.

What I appreciated most were the disucssions about heroism, about monsters, and about who we think of as villains. Seriously, the characters are probably what will make you come back to this story because they are just so well done. And now, I hope the movie does them justice!

"good" vs "evil" but the lines are blurred. Medieval plus futuristic, with magic! 
Text was a bit small to read. Ending felt a bit abrupt, although I did like the epilogue.

My reading comprehension isn't good enough to understand that ending. Everything before it was a wild ride though.

I love graphic novels, but this one on particular had me hooked from start to finish and has a special place in my heart.

This and Bloodlust and Bonnets are both so good. I describe both as wacky-evil fantasy. The real villains are always the ones that are the ‘good guys’ in the book and the characters all like murder a bit too much.

I loved this book it was so quirky and fun! It’s a fast read that still has depth.
