This is probably 2.5 stars but I'm late to this particular party so we'll roll with it. I read the second graphic novel a few years ago, probably shortly after it came out, but somehow never read the first. Since The Hollows is getting another book (pardon me while I scream happily), I figured I should go back and fill in my memory gaps.
Honestly, this one isn't terrible it's just... average? If you love the artwork, you might feel completely differently, btw. It wasn't the worst I've ever seen but it didn't do much for me most of the time. I could work with that if anything about this story felt like it had to be told in graphic novel/comic form. It doesn't. It actually seems far better suited to a regular book, or short story as the format adds nothing to the story for me. I get that for awhile every series seemed to get a comic adaptation for... whatever reason and hell, if it made KH happy to branch out this way, that's fine.
