A review by hwat66
Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin #1 by Erin Hunter

5.0

Adapted and illustrated by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter, what the graphic novel excels in is the art and formatting. I was immediately taken in by the storytelling and kicking my feet with glee at seeing my favorite story retold in pictures. However, no adaption is perfect and often has problems.

I initially started off ecstatic when reading this graphic novel adaption, but I’m left feeling uneasy. The art is the best part, yet the shifts in the narrative alert me to potential problems down the line.

Does it work then? I think so, in the grand scheme of things. New fans won’t know anything different and longtime fans might not care as much as I do about the continuity if the story remains mostly the same (some people might even think I’m being nit-picky). It’s fun, colorful, dramatic, and really, just a good time. If you’re looking for a more surface-level overview of the Warriors: The Prophecies Begin arc, then the graphic novel is perfect.

Frankly, it’s worth it for the art alone.
