Mercy Thompson: Moon Called Issue 1 by Patricia Briggs, David Lawrence
2.0

I have a tough time rating the Mercyverse graphic novels when I read them. On one hand, it follows the story fairly well, and I love the plot of Moon Called. On the other hand, I feel bad saying this, but these graphic novels generally always have some of my least favorite graphic novel art styles I've ever seen. A lot of the panels look to me like someone took one of those old 3D modeling programs (think Sims 2-esque) and then drew over the stills. The poses aren't natural, faces look odd, things are disproportionate... It doesn't work for me. I'll read Volume 2 just for the sake of finishing the adaptation, but yeah, this one's a mixed bag for sure and I'd really only recommend it to major MT fans who want to relive the Moon Called plot in a new way.
