Mercys arrival in the Tri-Cities is just as eventful as youd hope. **3.5**This GN covers Mercys initial meetings with Adam and Stefan, as well as how she came to work for Zee. Its fun to see the set-up for these relationships. However, I wasnt a major fan of the artwork. Zee is spot-on, as is Darryl. Stefan looks a mite more frightening than Ive ever pictured him, with his hollow cheeks and zombie-ish pallor--looking as he does, no one could ever mistake him for a member of the living. Mercy wasWow. Just....wow. I've been a die-hard Briggs fan from the first Mercy Thompson book and I was a little hesitant to risk the dissonance that sometimes occurs when a beloved book character is transformed into a graphic representation.However, this version of Mercy, Stefan and (yowza) Adam Hauptman totally added to the book experience.Granted, the gratuitous nakedness of Mercy as well as the sometimes awkward depiction of her face was a little jarring sometimes, but I felt the artist got Zee
I was not particularly fond of the drawing style of the volume (apart from the cover), but I enjoyed finding out how Mercy came to call the Tri-Cities home. It was fun seeing how she first met Stefan and Adam among other recurring characters and her impressions and frame of mind at the time. I might check the rest of the graphic novels in the series sometime, if only for the extra tidbits they give us, or to make the wait for the next book in the series less frustrating.
5 years 9 monthsThis was fun! I am not into Graphic Novels but this was quick. It did rekindle some interest in finishing up this series.
Hmm, I seem to be in the minority on this one. I love the Mercy Thompson series, so when I found out a prequel graphic novel existed I was jumping for joy.Unfortunately, I didn't like:-the story-80% of the art (which is a must for me, I can't read GR's if I don't like the art)-many characters were nothing like I'd pictured...and there's the added issue of I got bored.I don't mean to be mean or cruel, but I think I'll be sticking to the books.
Wow, I just read my first graphic novel. And I liked it.So have I been converted to a new book format? Unfortunately, I think the answer to that will be no. I've tried reading some of my husband's graphic novels before today and I've come to the conclusion that my brain just doesn't work in the right way to pick up the entire story in the combination of the images, words and layout. I hadn't realised how important page layout could be in a graphic novel until I tried reading one of Dave's and
Basic plot: Mercy Thompson arrives in the Tri-cities to get a job as a teacher, but stuff happens. It's the Mercy Thompson origin story in graphic novel format!I squeeed with glee when I found this in the 50% off bin at my local gaming/comic store, and immediately grabbed it. Seeing a 33-year-old woman squee in a gaming/comic store is an admittedly unusual sight, but that did not stop the reaction.Mercy Thompson has been a favorite character since I found the first book, and Briggs has been a
