I was so excited to read this prequel after the Bone series but this was such a let down. I expected so much more.

This prequel to the Bone Series is unnecessary as all the information within is told, not as succinctly, in the 9 volume series. I found myself nodding along, knowing all the information that was being shared.

So this is the prequel to the Bone series I think? I haven't read any of the series but I saw this on the shelf at the library and thought it looked interesting. It was interesting but not to the point where I really feel like reading the rest of the series. The story seemed a little predictable but the main reason is that I wasn't a huge fan of the art style. When I read a graphic novel I need to like the art of it takes away from the experience for me. I also wasn't terribly fond of the characters.

Had been wanting to read this prequel since I was a kid. The art was a little strange and not as good as I remembered. But the story was classic and a fun way to get me back into the headspace. Looking forward to my re-read of the full series

I liked the story but really really hated the artwork (it's not illustrated by Jeff Smith like the main series and is a completely different art style which is hella ugly!)
