Considering I've already reviewed the contents of the book this is based on, my major review here is: while at first I didn't think much of Chris Grine's style, I really appreciate the way he draws faces and expressions. That, combined with paneling and coloring, really gave the comic it's own life. 

One of my favorite scenes is the one that takes place at the Sharing, when "Tom" is trying to convince Jake to become a "full" member. The side-by-side panel where, in the flickering light of the bonfire, the true Tom regains control of his facial muscles for half a second, his face tenses up, and he's about to cry really hit me.

The final battle of the book also gave me visuals I never had while reading the books - showing the collateral damage of burning bodies falling from the staircase as Visser 3 chased the kids.

I was upset at one missing Marco scene - where he snaps at Jake about his "perfect family". But, aside from that one, I think this comic covered the novel very well, story-wise.


Also, Chris Grine's taxxons are incredibly cute.
