Picked it up based on the cover, and the art is pretty cool, but the story is just okay. It has the plot of a teen thriller but the pacing of a Scandinavian crime procedural. Not my favorite thing.

Feeling heavily targeted at fans of Sabrina (the spooky version, not the animatronic cat one) and The Craft, An Unkindness Of Ravens knows writers who use subtext – and they're all cowards. We open with evocatively folk horror pages from the book within the book, illustrated in tangled folk horror style by writer Dan Panosian, and rehearsing the familiar story of witch trials, how there have always been terrible consequences for those caught practising magic, and how these have mostly fallen on

When Wilma returns to her father's home town she finds herself in the middle of an ancient battle which has been raging in the town for hundreds of years. She also discovers things about herself and her past which show that everything she has been told is a lie. Wilma finds that she is in the centre of a battle in the town which is actually a power struggle between two magic weilding factions in the town. In addition to this she is the spitting image of a girl who has just gone missing. Wilma re...

I was a bit...stunned at the end because I thought it would be a complete story but it’s only the first part, the set up, and ends with a huge cliffhanger. I need to know what happens next!

"You grew up in a weird town, Dad.""It takes some getting used to."It's a witch cult/high school tale told, partially, from an enemy's unique perspective. Very cool. If you're into witchy things and don't mind following some teens around while they do some modern, gothic, mystical shenanigans, check it out.Immediately I felt The Craft atmosphere-not in a rip-off way, but more like a nod. Once I figured out who was who, it was kind of a blast. I love a story that's not just men vs. women. It's mo...

I'm going to be honest - this book didn't grab me. I got 50% of the way through it and still felt like I didn't know what was going on. The artwork is okay, the story is... okay? It just felt rather dull and didn't pull me in like I had hoped. The cover and synopsis sounds awesome, but it just didn't pull me like I needed it to.One out of five stars.Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

An Unkindness of Ravens by Dan Panosian et. al. is a free NetGalley e-comicbook that I read in mid-June.It's that semi-typical story of being enrolled in a new school in the city where your parents once lived and where you look just like a girl who had just gone missing, so you’re sorta subjected to her same choices and preferences. And her choices just happen to be that you’re part of a .alt coven clique, people are withholding a whole lotta things from you, and, all the while, a Gothic butler

A Very Long FuseIt feels like this series is eventually going to blow up nicely, but five slow issues make for a very long fuse. So far I'm willing to go along with the slow burn, but the pace better pick up and the story better spread out in the next volumeRavens are witches; Survivors are witch hunters. That's clear very early on. Wilma is popped into the middle of the creepy town that is the Witch/Survivor battleground and she has to figure which side she's on. Who can she trust? Dunno. Who i...

3.5⭐️Wilma has moved back to her father’s home town and is starting a new school. She thinks this will go smoothly but then there’s a missing girl looking exactly like her, a glowing message in her locker that only she can see, and way too many people in school are trying to get to know her and tell her who to hang out with. Quickly Wilma is learning this town is a lot stranger than she thought and her role in it is so much more than she could have anticipated. I liked the concept of this graphi...

Great illustrations, and lots of potential not yet full realised in the story. I would like to see where this goes.

This could potentially be a great series but this felt very underwhelming. Tired over used witch trope stuff.

In An Unkindness of Ravens, a girl named Waverly goes missing at Danforth High.A new girl, Wilma who looks uncannily like Waverly, is given her old locker. Because of her psychic abilities, Wilma can see an invisible message left in her locker filled with satanic imagery. Waverly was part of the school’s outsiders, The Ravens. The Ravens make it clear that the invite was for Wilma. She decides to go even though the Scarletts (the school queen bees) also want her to join their clique. Ahhh, high

It's Sabrina the Netflix Witch, with a sprinkling of The Craft. To say this is derivative would be underselling it - nothing faintly surprising or actually thrilling happens, all the clichés click into place.The art isn't good or bad, it's just very practical. That said, the coven of supposedly cool witches all look like bland, conventially beautiful dolls, which is at least unintentionally creepy.An unkindness of a review, I'm afraid.(Thanks to Boom! for providing me with an ARC through NetGall...

thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with an ARC! this was a cute graphic novel but it didn't surprise me in anyway. i got what i expected from the story with some nice illustrations. i wanted so much more from the characters, particularly the ravens! they had such an intriguing character design and i expected us to have more time to learn about them and who they were as people. hopefully future books will explore them.

3.5 stars. Seen a lot of people comparing this to “The Craft” which I haven’t watched so what I’d sort of describe it as is if “Riverdale” was supernatural/witchy. This volume is very exposition heavy and feels like it’s rushing to get to the reveal/end so that the story can start properly. Needless to say this throws the pacing waaaay off and means we don’t really get to know any of the characters, especially the Ravens (who’s characters at this point can basically be boiled down to eyepatch Ra...

This volume collects together the first five issues of the An Unkindness of Ravens graphic novel series.Wilma is the new girl in town. She hoped her arrival would fly under the radar but that proves impossible when she bears such a startling resemblance to one of the girls at her new school, who disappeared just one week ago. Whether it is this similarity or her status as fresh meat, she seems to be attracting a lot more attention than she imagined. The popular clique and the outcast rebel girls...

The Craft meets Mean Girls. The storytelling was pretty bad in this. It moves at a snails pace without saying anything for most of the arc. Panosian's ear for dialog is deaf. The art is serviceable but unremarkable. It reminds me of something you'd see in an Archie comic. There is an interesting story to tell in this. I just don't know that Dan Panosian is capable of telling it.Received a review copy from Boom and NetGalley.

Read the first issue, paged through the rest of the TPB: some good art, but too much of a CW pilot feel to keep me interested.

Wilma moves with her dad to his hometown of Crab’s Eye after he got a new job. Immediately, two different groups of students try to recruit Wilma to join them. One group is the popular kids who rule the school. The other group is known as the Ravens. Wilma looks exactly like Waverly, a member of the Ravens who just disappeared. Wilma has to choose which group she’s going to join, so she can learn more about her past and her new powers.This was a creepy graphic novel. Right from the start, things...
