Great comic. Wish it was longer and I can't wait to get my hands on book 2!
Having seen the movie first, I'm glad they followed the comic book closely.

I really enjoyed this comic! I watched the movie before getting my hands on this and was super impressed with how many things I loved from the movie were direct pulls from the book. The relationships between all the characters were super fascinating and entertaining. Mostly an adventurous and emotional story, but with plenty of humor. Definitely pretty violent with some gore but not excessive in my opinion. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an action packed, emotional story with a bit of fantasy.

Amazing book, especially love Nicky and Joe, but I can’t get past the fact that the art style is sooo ugly…
The movie is better in my opinion and it fixes a few problematic things from the graphic novel.
