I really enjoyed this Hardy Boys graphic novel - it has a great cover, cool action (particularly in the first half of the book), admirable bravery and excellent Hardy bros teamwork (always love those things), plenty of mystery and danger as they deal with an assortment of suspects, er, passengers on the train.
For my whole review, please check out my blog Hardy and Drew Mysteries

Good suspense. There was a typo or two hence the 4 star review. Beyond that I enjoyed it enough.

This is one of the better books that I've read in the series. The first chapter is largely dispensable, but the main story, set on a train like The Disoriented Express , is fun, and has a few entertaining twists. It also sets up a pair of (hopefully) recurring adversaries for he brothers.

Reading Tiger Counter the day after this made me realize one of the reasons I prefer the Nancy Drew graphic novel series: Nancy has a distinct, and spunky, personality, and it gets revealed by the occasional first-person narration. The Hardy brothers, by contrast, don't stand out much, or seem all that distinct from each other.

A sleek new train is riding the rails, and Frank and Joe are enjoying the luxury - until they're framed for murder and forced to not only prove their innocence but protect the lives of everybody aboard as perilous situations keep threatening their journey! Lobdell will be sure to please readers with this fun and twisting adventure of high speed!

Crazy issue, part of a continuing streaming story. It's non-stop action packed. A bit too much for my tastes.

E brought these home. She liked the action agent part a bit more than the Nancy Drew sort of silly mysteries. Overall she likes the combo Drew-Hardy comics best.

Personaly I like the Hardy Boys comic better than the Nancy Drew one. Just because the Hardy Boys is so much funnier.
