Costume Quest by Zac Gorman
3.0
'Costume Quest' by Zac Gorman is a graphic novel based on the new animated series, which is based on the video game. It's fun and it works.
The video game follows a group of children as they enjoy Halloween. The premise here is a mirror world with monsters that come to our world to get candy. Monsters Klem, Sellie, and Brolo aren't the most well liked in their group. Klem wants to hang out with the cool kids, and promises to bring candy to a Halloween party. The problem is that there is no candy in monster world, and all the candy is in the human world. Klem and his friends set off to find candy, pursued by bullies. Things, predictably, don't go as planned, but lessons are learned along the way.
This was a fun read. I'm not the biggest fan of Zac Gorman's art, but I know other folks are. The story is cute enough for younger readers, and I really like how the video game characters get to have a part in the story.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
