This is the first time I have heard of the Dark Swan series, and I am extremely interested in continuing the series. The artwork in this book is bright, colorful, and engaging.
Eugenie has the power to vanquish the dark and evil beings back to the places they belong. She has learned from the best - her father. Although he is now retired, he is still both a great resource for her as well as a source of strength.

First of all a massive thank you to Sea Lion Books who contacted me asking if I would like to review this comic!
I had previously heard about the comics and was a bit upset that most likely they would only be sold in the US, making it harder for me to get a hold off. I love Richelle Mead's writing, and have previously read the first three books in the Dark Swan series, so I was super excited to get a chance to read this comic!

Those of you already fans of Eugenie – aka Odile – probably don’t need my prompting to pick up this graphic novel. Those who haven’t yet met her – well, you should! Eugenie is tough, intelligent, funny and sexy and the art in this book is amazing! When I finished it, I just wanted more – fast-paced and compelling, this is a story for anyone who likes paranormal suspense and action; although I should warn that this book is definitely at least PG-13.

The ARC was provided by the publishers Sea Lion Books. Thank-you very much for requesting a review.
I have to say I have not read much comic books (in fact I think this is my second one) and after my experience with the first one I read I was worried that I would not enjoy the very little amount of pages I get with one issue. With graphic novels and manga you get at least 100 pages. I was worried that the story would feel rushed or lacking development but I am relieved to say that tha...more

Absolutely Fun & Great Graphic Comic Beginning!
I love the graphic concept matching the story; the graphics bright and colorful backgrounds bring the story to life and only enhanced my imaginations visions. Even though this is just the first issue of the four issues for half of the book, it was the perfect teaser to hook me into the story line. I wanted more and can't wait to pick up the next issue.

Dark Swan: Storm Born is 36 pages of awesomeness. Eugenie is one heck of a heroine that definitely keeps you enthralled in her day-to-day life. As she fights demonic shoes, meets prospective clients, or is getting frisky with a Kiyo, you can’t help but fall in love with this amazing paranormal tale.

So I have popped my graphic novel cherry with Richelle Mead’s Storm Born part 1. Eugenie Markham is a freelance Shaman and the story starts with her banishing a creature back to the otherworld. She is then contacted by a client whose 14 year old sister has been taken by fairies into the otherworld and he wants Eugenie to physically go there to get her out.
I haven’t read this book so I cannot comment how close the story is followed and I have never read a graphic novel before either...more

Down & dirty review because I gotta be somewhere in about ten minutes.
Sea Lion Publishing contacted me as they seemed to have done with a lot of people and sent me the first three issues of Storm Born. The collected version will have issues 1-4 so I haven't seen the complete book as of yet.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not a Richelle Mead fan per say. I think she's a good writer, but her books tend to go to dark, angsty, places and I don't like angst in my romance.

An enormous thanks to Sea Lion Books for contacting me and opening me up to the world of the graphic novel!
As you've probably figured out, graphic novels generally don't make it to my bookshelves. Nothing against them whatsoever, I guess I just never saw one that caught my attention. Until now.

This was wonderfully supplied by Sea Lion Books. Thank you!
I really loved the graphics in this one. The bright colours & Eugenie's hair, it is fantastic.
I haven't started this series yet, but have it on my TBR list. After reading this issue, I I'll be starting them next. I really loved this one.

This is the first graphic novel I have read. I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it, but I must say I more than simply liked it. Richelle Mead is very gifted at creating stories that are interesting and draw me in. Dark Swan is a supernatural story with a female heroine. I love strong and intelligent women like Eugenie Markham, the main character. She rids humans of other world creatures the humans believe to be ghosts. A human contacts her about a special dangerous mission. Eugenie must decide if compl...more
Fans of Richelle Mead and comics will be ecstatic to hear that she now has a novel or two out in comic form! The pictures are clear, tiny details all there. The story is followed very well-not the easiest thing to do when making a novel into a comic.

Storm Born is a series of graphic novels, based on Richelle Mead’s Dark Swan series, that follows the life of a freelance shaman named Eugenie Markham. Eugenie fights to keep demons and elemental creatures of the mystical world out of our human world by fighting them using magic and brute strength.

I am a big Urban Fantasy fan, but I haven’t had the chance to try Michele Mead’s Dark Swan series yet so I was excited to hear her first book, Storm Born, was going to be made into a comic book. I have become a recent convert to comics and graphic novels and I really love the mixing of art and fiction.

So it isn’t every day that I do reviews of comic books or graphic novels. Okay, fine, the only one I ever did was Watchmen and that was a long time ago. When Sea Lion Books contacted me and asked me to do a review of the first two parts of the STORM BORN by Richelle Mead graphic novel (Volume One is coming out September 20th), I had a moment of hesitation before I signed up. PS, these two parts are now available at comic book stores as issues 1 and 2, so you don’t have to wait around for the ...more
Okay so when Patrick over at Sea Lion Books asked me to review Richelle Meads Storm Born graphic novel. I was so excited, because he had me at 'Richelle Mead'. I love this woman! She's absolutely wonderful. I still haven't managed to read the actual Storm Born novel-for a Richelle Mead fan, that's pretty awful-anyway, after having some trouble opening the file, I finally managed to read the first 29 pages of the first volume. This is the second graphic novel that I've read (Twilight was the firs...more
This is the second comic book conversion of a Richelle Mead book that I've read and what I said in my review for Vampire Academy can be applied here.
The characters aren't quite how I imagined them but then, are they ever? However, there was no problem in following the story and given the length of time since I'd read Dark Swan, I had no issues with remembering the story.

When I initially received an email from Sea Lion Books to review Richelle Mead's graphic novel I must say I was very excited !! Id heard about the books from friends overseas and I was more than willing to read and review !! Being a fan of Richelle's books I was IN !!!!

I read the book and loved it and reading the comic/graphic novel just adds that little bit of extra fun. The Dark Swan first volume really exceeded my expectations; I wasn’t sure if it would do the book justice or be a poor portrayal of a book I loved. It’s great seeing the characters on pages in illustrated form, it’s just brilliant. Each character was captures so perfectly and I loved seeing Eugenie’s attitude leap off the page, seeing her kick-ass in comic form was something I really enjoyed....more

This review is for issue #1 and issue #2. I thought they were good comics. I prefer full length novels but it's fun to see them illustrated. I liked the illustrations, though there were a few awkward looking facial expressions which seems common for comics. I thought the illustrations were consistent with the book's descriptions. I especially enjoyed seeing the otherworldly creatures illustrated. Those were done quite well.

Eugenie Markham has spent the majority of her young life sending supernatural creatures back to their natural, magical habitat. Eugenie’s work day consists of the usual banishments and exorcisms, carried out with her trusty wand and with the help of protective, magic-infused tattoos. But something strange is happening to Eugenie and the creatures she banishes . . . her name is being bandied about and dangerous fae spirits are making untoward sexual advances. Something is going on with the Sidhe...more
