This was an okay story, though the art isn't great. The characters all looked pretty similar to each other. I won't be continuing on with the series.

Nancy Drew: The Demon of River Heights
3/5 stars
Maybe I'll continue, I'm not sure yet. I seen a lot of the reviews that were negative for this were by people who read the original Nancy Drew books which I honestly can't say that I have. So it wasn't bad, it was kind of cute, but pretty anticlimactic for a detective novel.

I didn't really like this. At all. The writing was decently witty at times, but at other times the script cut from one scene to another with no transition, which left the story feeling choppy. Some of the artwork was cool, like the backgrounds that were done with a computer (I don't know all the technical terminology), but I thought that some of the character renderings were downright shoddy. It looked like the artist just scribbled out the drawings in about two seconds. Furthermore, the book was just too short to make it a really good mystery; there wasn't enough time for the author to include red herrings and twists and turns and all those good things that make a mystery really yummy. I would suggest this one ONLY to libraries with large comics collections or a big Nancy Drew following.
PS - It annoyed me that Nancy wore a shirt that said "ND." That's pretty egotistical, isn't it? It's like someone from a band wearing their own band tshirt. Lame.

I’ve always loved Nancy Drew. I have my mom’s copies of the books from when she was a kid, and I still play the games. I was excited to read this graphic novel!
It was a pretty good story. I read some bad reviews of this book before I read it, so I didn’t expect much. However, I enjoyed the story. The characters were very familiar. Bess, George, and Nancy had to solve a mystery together. Meanwhile, Deirdre Shannon was getting in the way. The only character I didn’t see was Ned, and I hope to see him in later comics.
The graphics weren’t the best. They were flat and one dimensional most of the time. Later in the story, some panels had more depth. The background was blurry so the people in the forefront stood out more. That made it look three dimensional.
I enjoyed this book, and I look forward to reading the next one.

Let's face it....Nancy Drew just isn't as good as the Hardy Boys. On the other hand, her evidence would actually convict criminals in a court xD Warrants and all that

I picked this up because I loved Nancy Drew as a kid. It was kind of cute, but quite predictable.

This is the first graphic novel I read and I LOVED it!!! I always wanted to read Nancy Drew but I never got around to it! I'm glad I picked this up from the library.

A fun Nancy Drew romp in graphic novel form. Though I didn't like the first pictures of Bess with the typical large-chested female look, but it got toned down after the first couple of pages.
