graphic novel review - a nightmare before Christmas by Jun Asuka

Disney Manga Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Disney Manga Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas brings us the beloved Christmas classic in the form of a manga graphic novel.

Everything follows the same plot as the original movie, with Jack longing for something more until he finds himself in Christmas land where his plans start to take form.

I felt this maybe wasn't the best portrayal of the story as things were a little condensed and dialogue from the movie which made it great was lost. I also felt certain points were a little confusing in layout which lost the fluidity of the story leaving the reader a little lost at points.

Overall the story is good but it isn't anything new from the original but instead just a re written version that lost some elements that made the movie great.

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

Invincible Compendium Volume 3  By Robert Kirkman  Writer:  Robert Kirkman Artist:  Ryan Ottley ,  Cory Walker ,  John Rauch ,  Jean-Francois Beaulieu ,  Nathan Fairbairn Cover:  Ryan Ottley ,  Nathan Fairbairn Published: July 18, 2018 This is my most anticipated graphic novel for the past five years!  So I start this by disclosing that I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman and the whole Invincible series to start with, I first read the compendium volume 1 maybe eight years ago as a gift from my brother and managed to finish it in a matter of days. I started this series late to the party and thankfully only had two years to wait for the second volume which was also incredible but unfortunately with just how many issues are packed into these compendiums I have had a five year wait for this third volume to be published and I have to say, it was worth the wait. The story being issue to issue jumps right in from the last so ...
