Rose by Jeff Smith

3.0

This was a nice prequel to the Bone series. You see many of the characters in Bone show up here – Rose, the Red Dragon, the Locust King, and the stupid, stupid rat creatures (my favorite!). Even in 150 pages, you get a nice story arc and introduction to the characters. It would probably be enjoyable even if you hadn’t read the Bone series, but it’s even better if you have. I’m tempted to go back and read Bone since it’s been a while. I want to be reminded of what happened to all those characters.

I’m not a big fan of the art, though. The artist had a real problem with people, and their neck and heads. The creatures and backgrounds were nice, but don’t look too close at the people’s faces.
