Mercy Thompson: Moon Called: Graphic Novel Issue #1

Mercy Thompson: Moon Called #1

by David Lawrence, Amelia Woo (Illustrator), Patricia Briggs

Mercy Thompson inhabits two worlds without truly belonging to either. To the human inhabitants of the Tri-Cities she's an oddity, a female mechanic operating her own garage. To the town's darker residents, werewolves, vampires, and fae, she's a walker, a last-of-her-kind magical being with the power to become a coyote. Mercy warily straddles the fine line dividing our everyday world from that darker dimension. Till a boy, mauled by vicious werewolves and forever changed by the attack and on the run from those who committed the crime, appears at her door.

Now her two worlds are about to collide. Outnumbered and out-muscled, can Mercy possibly save the boy? Or even herself?
Mercy Thompson: Moon Called volume 1 #1 begins Dynamite's eight-part adaptation of Patricia Briggs first Mercy novel. Personally supervised by Ms. Briggs, the series is sure to thrill fans both old and new!

[Celia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love seeing my favorite books in graphic novel format and this one is by far my favorite. Sure, it’s condensed for the sake of action but it doesn’t lose much of its awesomeness.

Classic start

Alternate universe, urban fantasy, comics graphic novel

Dynamite Comics kicks off this adaptation years after the runaway debut paperback hit "Moon Called" by Patricia Briggs through Harper-Collins. A lot of nuance gets lost, but Mercy Thompson is a quirky, honorable, young mechanic living in the Tri-city area of central Washington, and she tries to protect the innocent while earning a living. That comes across in this first volume of the story. This rendition was done with the author's active participation, no doubt in an effort to introduce this popular series to younger readers. Enjoyed.

Mercedes Thompson 'Mercy' a mechanic, took in a homeless werewolf and that was the beginning of her nightmares .
This was my first graphic novel and I was a little lost at the beginning. However, the more I read, the more I seemed to enjoy it. It was a fun read

These comics bring Mercy and the gang to life.

I love Mercy novels, and this was my first try at the corresponding comics. Hmm. There's a lot of...exclamation points? A lot of narration...and the art is not my fave. It *is* cool to see illustrations of places and characters I've been imagining in my head for ten-ish years, but holy cats, why does Adam Hauptmann look like a creepy mannequin?!

I didn't love it, but I will likely continue reading issues (particularly since they cost me nothing through my library's ComicsPlus subscription).

I thought this was a graphic novel, but it was only the 32 page first issue of the comic. What a random item for the library to add to their digital collection. Now sure what to rate this because it's so short, but it did whet my appetite to read more. If get more issues, I will probably read them.
