Really enjoyed the first season. I binge watched which probably did me a favour, as I found the storyline all over the place, jumping between characters. Great cast of actors, really well scripted. Very graphic in places, sexually, violently, coarse language. Be prepared to have your mind twisted, as I am still not sure who the good guys are...

I mean I have to agree, Pablo Schreiber makes anything worth binge watching. But I do think this show is awesome anyway, it fufills my mythology geekiness.🤓

Strange but entertaining
This movie had plenty of twists and turns to keep the interest. The cinematography was good. The acting was, ok. The story itself was not a typical western, though. Some sexual content and violence(of course) but nothing too graphic. It unfolds at a good pace and the ending was actually unexpected. While it's not fast paced it keeps the interest throughout. Worth a watch.

Great MG graphic novel!
Mighty Jack and the Goblin King was a great graphic novel to read with the 9 year old. I picked it up while we were in the kid’s section looking for a book for her, and decided to get it for myself even though she showed no real interest. (Actually I might have picked up a few for me.) Anyways, one night she was a bit sickly, and joined me on the couch for a cuddle. I picked up the book, figuring we’d read a few pages and then be done. I could finish it after she went back to bed. We ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting. (This isn’t exactly a thin graphic novel, either.)

This is a good ‘bedtime story’ book. There are a variety of different characters (but not too many) that are easy to give distinct voices to. Jack and Lilly are good contrasts to each other, and they’re just old enough that they’re moving past the point where boys/girls have cooties. Jack was a good kid, and on a mission to save his sister. Lilly was the one I really liked though. She was spunky and resourceful, and I feel like she was the more charismatic of the two characters. The book follows them for a while together, and then on separate missions that twine together at the end.

We have not read the first book in this series, but that did not affect our ability to enjoy Mighty Jack and the Goblin King. Hatke does a good job of making sure that he works in enough references to the first book that you get enough information to go on. This was an action-packed book that had a nice resolution. My child and I both want to see the adventures that Jack and Lilly (and maybe the sister?) get up to next.

Mighty Jack and the Goblin King is well worth picking up if your child enjoys graphic novels. Especially so if you do too.
