vikingwolf's review against another edition
3.0
Elena has just been bitten and is trying to get her head around what Jeremy is telling her about her new werewolf condition. All she wants to do is escape and go home but she soon finds that she can't deal with her new life alone. I love the cover of this book and it was the only early story that I hadn't read so I had to read it. I liked the story and the artwork but it's a bit too short to get a higher rating.

Three reasons to read Becoming:
1) The artwork is impressive. It has a lot of detail and isn't afraid to be realistically grimy and violent. I could quite happily sit and stare at each panel for 5+ minutes. The last graphic novel I read I barely paid attention to the art.
2) It's been mentioned in other books from this series how hellish the transformation process after being bitten is, but it was always a fairly toned down description. I didn't fully grasp the extent of the torture until I saw the artwork for it. It conveyed in one panel the full horror of it.
3) The Legacy pages are a really nice addition and cover fascinating stuff.
One drawback to Becoming:
1) Clay's two pages at the end are more interesting than all of Elena's because everything in Elena's panels has already been shared in the main books, so there's nothing new.

Well, that was a bit creepy/nasty. Definitely don't read this when you're feeling sick... But it's a nice and short prequel anyway.

Amazing artwork for a favourite sidestory. I suggest to anyone who liked this to look up Angilram (the illustrator) on Deviantart.

Not the best of Kelley's short stories but I still loved it. The graphic novel format was different from her typical short stories and I think it adds to the series. My only complaint was that I didn't like the art style in this book at all. I'm pretty picky with my art and this style just didn't live up. It was a little too bland for my liking.

Rating: 3.5/5
I won this graphic novel and I have yet to read the series, but it does sound like a good one and I might just need to start on it at some point.
