The review --
**WARNING THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS**
This is actually the
Author's remake of the first book in her Superhero 3D graphic novel series:
Dream Angel. I chose to review this version instead of the original as this
reflects her most recent work.
I liked that this
story started differently than many SuperHero/SuperHeroine books. Instead of
starting with her origin story, we pick up with her just recently graduated
from high school, and having been doing her adventures for 3 years. It begins
with a major turning point in her career with the SuperVillain's figuring out
her secret identity and capturing her father. We get introduced to the major
players pretty quickly leading into the rescue attempt.
The 3D art style is
new and rarely done in graphic novels, and the author here does a very good job
of each character looking different and having their own voice. The story moves
quickly to give the setup for the good and evil sides, although there are a few
minor errors in the text here and there. It ends on a cliffhanger, making you
very interested to see what happens in #2. The humor is pretty good, but not
overused, more like quips, which for this genre, is completely appropriate.
Most graphic novels these days are put together by a team, but this was all
done by one person, which makes it more impressive. The only things keeping it
from being a 5 are some minor plot holes in the conversations between
characters. Nothing major or that pulls you out, but noticeable upon multiple
read-throughs. For anyone who loves the Superheroine and/or Magical girl Genre,
I definitely give this book a rating of buy it and read it.
