I LOVE the art in this book, this is the first comic I've ever read on a tablet and everything really pops on my iPad screen, though I wouldn't want to read it on anything smaller than an iPad2. I just wish it was set all in the fantasy world instead of involving the modern world, though I do get that's where most of the characterization is coming from.

I had a hard time liking the characters. It’s not that they aren’t lovable, but I just wasn’t attached to them until halfway through this volume.

That was okay. Very quick read but little substance. Not attached to any character and barely interested in any of them. Don't know if I will read the rest.

I'm continuing to enjoy this series. It blends the real world with a fantasy world in a fresh way. I'm reminded of the way that fairies and their homes are portrayed in certain stories, rather than simply infusing our world with magic. The distinction is important for the story and the way that events unfold.
The huge draw in this book is the development of the brothers' relationship. There is a lot of time spent showing how it has changed due to intervening events and, maybe more importantly, how it has stayed the same. This becomes important toward the end of this volume. I suspect it will play a bigger role as the series continues. It's great to see more of Mikey's adventures and how the elements from the fantasy world have followed him home.
There are a lot of cool things that happen in this volume. Yet, it feels like the characters haven't progressed much by the end. I think this is because it takes place in a fairly confined amount of space and time. But there are some very important moments. And the art is stellar, especially in those moments when the two world interact. I'm excited to continue this series.

Such an intriguing series. I am really loving it. The characters are so interesting. I am really enjoying the time jumping back and forth. It's pulling me more and more into the story.
