[Nicholas Driscoll · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bought with a humble bundle of comics. Love the art, not the stories. The stories are mostly very pedantic with the most obvious morals imaginable but the characters aren’t very interesting and the stories contain no surprises or really much character. For little kids, it’s fine if not really inspired. For adults (not the target audience obviously), it’s pretty dull... and reminds me how special Carl Barks or Mark Crilley’s work can really be.

Neat little book I got for only $6. I like to think of myself as a skylanders fan, and the art in the graphic novel caught my attention. Stories are a 5/10 or 6/10. But over an enjoyable read. I’ll be looking forward to the next graphic novel in the series, mainly for the art and lore, not so much the story itself.
