The characters sill look uncanny valley and the transformations can be gross, but the angst is IMMACULATE.
Tobias (who cannot morph back to human) is tortured by the same depressive voice some humans deal with; a constantly nagging voice that discredits his humanity. Get this he has a bird brain *badum tsk* He even seems to have what seems to be diet-suicide ideation. I've seen few books really tackle or mention this at all for young readers. But this struggle is done effectively as well as it's conclusion.
I know everyone bags on Marco, but I get why he has to be the voice of reason. Also, Rachel and Tobias' friendship is the highlight here. Very charming. I never had interest in this series before, but I think the graphic novel adaption are dong a great job introducing this to a new audience.

Tobias and the other Animorphs strike a blow against the Yeerks when they discover a transport ship schedule. Meanwhile, Tobias struggles with the reality of being trapped as a hawk. An excellent visual adaptation of a very interior book.

The pacing feels a little bit off at points--I really wish there had been given just a bit of space to let the emotional bits of the story breathe for a panel or two. Otherwise I'm really glad to have a visual adaptation for a very difficult book.
