I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Let me just start by saying that I've never read Oliver Twist. I think I saw the Wishbone episode like 15 years ago? So really I have no idea how in character everyone is, but this was a pretty enjoyable little story and I don't think you need to have more than like a working cultural knowledge of Oliver Twist to read it. The story was your standard take [classic novel] and insert [paranormal creature] thing, but it was fun and I liked how they included other things like Jack the Ripper and VanHelsing. The art and coloring was a little bit unpolished in my opinion, but it wasn't awful and except for a few panels where the characters were making REALLY weird faces I don't think it distracted me from the story. A fun story, but it definitely wasn't reinventing the wheel or anything.
