Orphan Black #1 by Mat Lopes, Szymon Kudranski, Jody Houser, Neil Uyetake, Graeme Manson, John Fawcett
1.0
I loved the Saga graphic novels so much I really wanted to find another series to fall in love with while I wait for another book, so that lead to me trying out Orphan Black #1 by John Fawcett, Graeme Manson, Jody Houser and Szymon Kudranski. I'm a big fan of the two seasons I've watched of the TV series--I plan to finish it, but they took it off Netflix--which is definitely who these books are aimed at.
Orphan Black #1 would not make any sense if you hadn't seen the show and the graphics are nice but it doesn't add anything to the story either. Plus, 30ish pages isn't enough to tell much of a story. Instead, it feels like the authors didn't try and just relied on the fact that fans who like the show would like this. I'm tempted to pick up the next ones just because they are so short--each one focuses on a different clone, with this being Sarah's story--but I know I'm better off saving my time to watch the TV show instead. Never thought I'd write that!
