The graphic novel presents the story well and the graphics are well drawn.

The art style just continues to wow and bring so many great images to some scenes that my feeble little imagination simply made alright.
Really got the espionage feel just right and I didn't even contemplate how much of a fighting maniac Juliet was until actually seeing her leap into action several times.
Hoping this excellent graphic novel series continues farther than the older uglier series. I wanna see the ridiculousness of the Fae demons!

While I love Juliet in this one and seeing how everyone's relationships and personalities have grown over the years is what I really love in this book.

But out of all of them so far I just don't think this one translated well into the graphic novel version. Especially with character designs, it's starting to feel repetitive. Especially with the men. Trouble just looks like almost a copy and paste of Root and our main villain, a human, highly resembles a monkey.

It just felt like it could have been better. But that said, it's still Artemis Fowl and I still loved it as a whole.

I loved this book. Yes, the artwork took some getting used to and it obviously didn't match the picture in my head I had of the characters, but I still really, really, enjoyed it. It was a fun quick read that was true to the original content. The colors were vibrant and easy to see and read. 5 out of 5 stars. I can't wait to read more.

It’s a decent children’s book. I personally find Artemis a little annoying but I’m not the intended audience. This is just one of those series I was always curious about so I’m still glad I’m reading it. I liked Juliet and holly in this one a lot actually.

I really like this series.
It's been so long since I've read the novels that I don't know how good of a direct translation this is from the novel form to graphic form
Still fun
Not sure if I will end up picking up the fourth volume.
According to Goodreads I still haven't read the second volume, so I need to find where I left that and update it.

This is a fantastic adaptation of a book that is very dear to me. The Eternity Code is by far the best of Artemis's schemes, and the graphic novel truly captures the best scenes and lines from the original text.

I just do not understand why the art for this series has to be so creepy. Also, Butler forever.
