I was reading this in tandem with the novel, and I enjoyed it quite a bit! The novel goes by very quickly, so seeing everything illustrated helped me keep track of things. The story and characters are amazing, although I’ll leave my opinions on those aspects to my review of the novel.
The art was fantastic for the most part, but about halfway through the primary artist changes, and then an issue and a half later it changes to a third. The first and last illustrators were fantastic and really captured the gravitas of the story, and the second was just okay. Still, I wish there was some consistency.
And speaking of consistency, it just ends in the middle of the story. Why? What’s the deal with that? Did this specifically adaptation have problems behind the scenes which caused the multiple illustrators and abrupt end? It’s a shame too because this was a great adaptation, the novel really lent itself to be adapted into a graphic novel format.
