The hunt for hero frog drags on.  Interesting choice to have different artists draw the Greg sections and the Wirt sections, and then intersperse the two stories.  Where did the surprise come in, that seemed crowbarred in.  Same with the Sara character (the girl Wirt likes from the show).

The Mrs Langtree section is extra bad this volume, the at is very messy and the story is nonsense (not in the good OTGW way we've come to know and love)

This is the last volume in the Over the Garden Wall series. The cover is misleading as none of the issues feature Greg and Wirt, which is disappointing. However, I still found myself enjoying the stories and the art. My favorite one was The Cat and the Fiddle.

Cute and fun, though the second one is still my favorite because of the creepy factor. The plot thickens. I love that Sara's a part of the story! I wish I could read more, but that's all that's available at Scribd at the moment :(

This is a collection of stories of The Unknown, unrelated to Greg and Wirt, despite the cover, all told by Fred the Horse. It was quite cute. The "Cat and the Fiddle" was my favorite by far, though I loved "Go Fish" too, that's told in verse. The art is beautiful!

3.5. I really do not like the cutesy style of the final issue in this and the last volume. Neither the art nor the storytelling is consistent with the series as a whole. The Hunt for Hero Frog storyline continues in this volume, and that I did enjoy. Looking forward to the next one, but I do not like having to read the issues tacked on like an artistic afterthought.
