Some of the worst art I've seen in an officially released comic book, with everyone having bizarre proportions. The colors are dull, sickly and hard to look at. The best art is on the covers. Returning characters from the television show act OOC. Honestly baffling.

I was very excited to read this book, as it's the first Supernatural comic I would read. However, after it was finished, I I was sourly disappointed. Maybe I just haven't read enough comics or something, but it was very boring and it felt like nothing happened. I know it's the first in a series, but the first in a series should make you want to read more, not leave you with the sense that it you didn't complete the comic.
Maybe I'll feel differently when I finish all of them, but for now I'm not impressed with it.

Good baseline for a story, but the way it was done was just confusing. I wasn't sure exactly what was happening half the time and I had to keep going back to re-read stuff to double and triple check that I hadn't missed anything.
Depends on how big a fan you are as to how much it's worth it to read.

The art doesn't really capture the actors and the story doesn't capture my attention. I found myself skimming, despite the tale being thin.
A bad episode of Supernatural is generally better than a good episode of any other genre show. This book doesn't feel like it's part of the same universe at all; there's no wit, no charm, no cool action.
Part of the story hinges on Sam being a clumsy oaf, then a dullard. He's neither. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the characters.
From my quotelog:
Sam: What do we know that has Jason Bourne fighting skills, dies a lot and has a history with violent women?
Dean: I don’t know, you?
– Supernatural, “Remember the Titans”
Miss.

this was terrible ngl. the art was so bad they looked sickly and like they were dying. these comments tho>>> "They look whiter then I do when I´m outside. Not gonna lie, that made feel better ´bout myself now." and "Sam really shouldn´t have gfs bc they all end up dead also, this was big waste of time. Cool"

I wanted to like this.
But I really couldn't.
Narratively, it's sort of a mess--the jumps in the story leave holes that aren't very logical and can't be figured out from context clues.
And where good art can distract you from narrative holes in the graphic novel form, here... well, not so much. Some of the art is nice, but the thick lines and lack of atmosphere are not my thing. Plus, both Sam and Dean act out of character, and bear very little likeness to the actors, AND there's the whole bit one could quibble about where this takes place while Sam is at Stanford, during which time Sam & Dean weren't speaking, so it's not very canonically compliant, either. (Even if you read the later bits as after Sam was at college, still, he has to call Dean as they aren't together, which happens very seldom in the show--they have basically been inseparable since Sam left college, minus that stint when Dean was in Hell and later when Sam was soulless.)
The other Supernatural graphic novels were really pretty good, so I hate to be so disappointed by this one. Yet, I am.

Decent read. But I am so over the Sam Winchester and all the women he dates trope.

This was my least favorite of the series. There wasn’t nearly enough buildup of Sam and Emma’s original meeting; I didn’t feel inclined to root for them at all. The illustrations were weird, the mythology was confusing, and the story did not affect me in any way. I’m disappointed.

Sam helps a European hunter who also happens to be a mysterious and hot young woman.
Because I'll take whatever Supernatural I can get, even if there is barely any Dean!
