Interesting modern take on the Arthurian legend that everyone knows. The only problem I had was that the "twist" was so predictable. Somebody told me the rest of the series was in graphic novel format.

Meh. Not something I would recommend
I received an email with the ARC information for this book a few days after I finished watching Aquaman, naturally, I had to jump at the chance to read this. This graphic novel has some awesome graphics and the plot line was fun to see through Mera’s eyes. Unfortunately, the beginning of the graphic novel was difficult to follow and once you got over that hump, it was way too predictable. I wish that there was something that would set this book apart but I just wasn’t impressed.

See like a vampire?
Illustrated in the colours that the vampires of this graphic novel can see, Red, Black and white dominate the wood print style images. No to everyone's preference, and it does tire the eyes after a while of reading, the story starts off humorously but does seem to find it difficult to go further than that, not finding its place successfully throughout the remainder of this Graphic novel. A shame as I think it all had potential.

Quirky Love Story

A modern teen romance that starts out as a quirky friendship. A mix of culture and social economic division between the teens. Finding common ground through a love of music and graphic novels.

I think Watchmen is a marvelous graphic novel about the idolization of heroes in society. We praise heroes, but what happens when they are not necessarily the good guys? Are you wrong for rooting for justice, rather than goodness?

The timeline in this graphic novel went back and forth a bit, so it was confusing in the beginning. However, once the family moved, it started to make a lot more sense. It's an interesting, but psychologically creepy story.

It's quite an intense read
The layout can be a little confusing at times.
Great Spin on your normal "Super Hero" Graphic Novels
Characters appear older than they are
Can't exactly understand what's going on if you just read the graphic version, but a good recap for those who have read the novels
More detailed than the PJO versions, so there's that?
