Really enjoyed this take on the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale! The artwork was very eyecatching and vibrant. I wish I had read the first in the series right before reading this one, though. In the few months since I've read it, I had forgotten some key elements!

was i supposed to read Rapunzel's Revenge first? dunno, but the story in this went well without having read RR before it. giant, giant ant people, rapunzel as a kind of Annie Oakley with a red-haired braided lasso. a little victorian steampunk thrown in, all graphic. nice.

Steampunk, graphic novel Jack and the Beanstalk, with Rapunzel as a sidekick. This is a fantastic follow up to Rapunzel's Revenge.

Kind of a steampunk Justice League plot and setting. Jack grows up in a rough city which becomes overrun by a baddie called Blunderboar and his minions who happen to be giants. Jack, his friends Rapunzel and Pru, and a newspaper heir who won't give in decide to take on Blunderboar to rescue Jack's mother who has been enslaved since Jack climbed a magic beanstalk and stole Blunderboar's goose (who happens to lay golden eggs). Some challenging vocabulary and unexpected elements of the fantasy world can help expand the breadth of super-hero-comic-loving readers. Best for ages 8-12.

I love a good graphic novel in between reads for fun.
this was as good as [b:Rapunzel's Revenge|2626492|Rapunzel's Revenge (Rapunzel's Revenge, #1)|Shannon Hale|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1421704442s/2626492.jpg|2651193] and gave some background into Jack's character.
Plenty of action, sweet, corny and amusing.
