I've read the comics. I haven't watched the show. This book introduces the character from the show. The art is stylish. There isn't much of a story.

[Brendon Hamacher]

It's okay. Kinda too much happening and the language just felt blocky. Overall visuals were good, but mostly forgettable which was a shame as my daughter was excited (3).
