3.5

I'm not sure if it is my inexperience with reading western comics (I mostly read manga) or the pacing of this graphic novel.

I was unfortunately confused most of the time, as the story seems to jump all over the place. While I was reading it I kept going "wait, what?" The story seems to take place well after the 90's cartoon ends and I admittedly haven't seen it in decades. So I'm not sure if that's a factor. 

That being said I did get a couple chuckles out of it at some of the things in the background and some whitty banter. The art in it is beautiful so that's why it's sticking at a 3.5 for me.
