The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi

3.0

This graphic novel opens with one of the most frightening and heartbreaking car accidents I have ever seen textually or graphically rendered, which gives you a pretty good idea right off that this isn’t your typical comic book or YA fantasy fare. It’s also got tentacle monsters and a cool steampunky vibe. I only wish it weren’t so slight: this is just volume one, which means reading it is kind of like watching the pilot for a new TV show…and then not getting to see episode two for months and months and months. (And then only for an additional $15 or whatever—how does anybody afford these things?)

But this is definitely a series with promise. I hope I get to continue with it.
