Yeah, my memory wasn't wrong. The artwork is awful and ruins what actually translates into a decent graphic novel.
I do not like giving bad reviews, particularly to authors or series which I love. Patricia Briggs is superb, and I've enjoyed each of her books. This graphic novel is a disappointment in comparison. The art makes each of the characters look and seem childish, or "less" somehow. The writing seems purposefully dumbed down. I've read amazing graphic novels which with only a few words can create a vivid and deeply moving story. The people behind this work had an amazing novel to draw from, but the e...
I liked seeing this story in pictures, but the drawings were odd to me. The lines were hard and the people didn't look anything like I thought. It wasn't until the end when when the pencil line drawings that I realized how everyone looked alike, with only small differences.
Such beautiful illustrations. I really enjoyed this graphic novel. But it felt too short. Nonetheless I really enjoyed getting to see Charles and Anna.
I am so enamored of Patricia Briggs, I will read anything she writes. I was excited that my library has some of her works in the graphic novel format, since I do enjoy them. I have already read Mercy Thompson: Homecoming and I loved it. Of course, I also love the Alpha and Omega series and looked on this opportunity to in essence get in a quick reread of Cry Wolf.I have to be honest that I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as I had hoped. I think my problem was the illustrations didn’t quite work
Drawings could be better but the dialogue follows the book really well.
Isn't that cover gorgeous? Just saying, Daniel Dos Santos always makes me a happy girl. Now if only the artwork continued to be as well drawn in the book itself...I read a lot of comics--from the 'Big Two' (Dc and Marvel) to the comparatively smaller imprints (Top Cow, Image, Oni, IDW) to web comics (Full Front Nerdity, Otaku no Yen, The Dreamer) so I'm used to all sorts of artwork styles and can usually find little fault in the overall style if it suits the book/series. Unfortunately Todd Herma...
Love the story, kinda hated the art work and how ugly and odd it made all the characters
Well...damn. Unfortunately, the graphics part of this graphic novel would not allow me to enjoy the actual storyline. The illustration was so odd and looked rushed. Same with the colors. I just couldn't get past the weird faces and bodies.
Why does Bran look like that? He isn't some big-headed built hunk. He's everyman, average young guy, no one would believe to look at him that he's powerful. And then Charles looks like a hunched over old guy, he should be the one who's comic book model hot. And I'm glad they didn't make Anna a typical comic big boob girl, it focuses on her face mostly, but unfortunately it's pretty ugly and often looks deformed. Anna and Charles both look like wax figures that are constantly being overheated and...
"Brother...Did you just growl at me?""Samuel. I know you're not really flirting with my mate but brother wolf inside me isn't so sure." — Samuel and CharlesDisclosure I have not read any of the Alpha & Omega series books. I have read some of the Mercy Thompson books so know the basics of the world but know nothing of most of these characters. I do want to read this series though.Okay so Cry Wolf: volume one feels like it drops you into the middle of the story. That does feel like Patricia Brigg
Coyer summer bashThis is an adaptation of one of my favorite books. A young wolf is rescued from an abusive pack and discovers her power and her mate in the midst of a dangerous attack by a witch.
www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comI'm sad about this graphic novel. I love the Mercy Thompson Series and the Alpha and Omega series of books, but the graphic novel wasn't so good. It's the same story line as the first Alpha and Omega book I read, but I don't like the graphics :( Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Sigh.....Anna has a tragic history, she was made a werewolf, but it was by a pack of jerks and they treated her horribly! But she was saved by the wonderful Marrok pack. Charles, who is the son of th...
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: This is a graphic novel based off of the urban fantasy book, Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs.Opening Sentence: No, don’t…Justin…Leo…Charles…NO!The Review:I am a longtime fan of the Mercy Thompson world, including the original series and its spin-off, Alpha and Omega. Both are filled to the brim with memorable one-liners and vivid imagery. Each character charms their way into your heart with their personalities and indomitable wills. They are
Unfortunately I just really didn’t like the art in this graphic novel. The front cover is so beautiful I guess I had different expectations. I still love the story of course but the graphic novel didn’t do it for me.
I enjoyed Anna and Charles together. I think Bran is a strong pack leader. Anna had a tough life back in Chicago. I hope she lets her wolf out to play.
This is Volume 1 (Issues 1-4) of the graphic novel adaptation of Cry Wolf, the first book in Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega Series. To start, I'm not impressed by the art. It is 3⭐ average at the best - better than the 1⭐ quality of the drawing in Homecoming but nowhere as beautiful as the 5⭐ Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson: Moon Called. Anna and Charles are nowhere as good looking as their book cover counterparts. This impacted my overall enjoyment of the graphic novel since the art HAS to be...
One star based on the interior art alone. It wasn't to my taste. I didn't like the character designs and I thought the panel compositions were static and boring. Any sense of the characters' emotions and interactions came more from my memories of the novel than how they appeared on the page.By contrast, the cover art by Daniel Dos Santos is completely gorgeous. I want it framed on my wall. The issue covers by Jenny Frison are very good.The story adaptation seems just fine but that may only be be...
I always have a hard time reading graphic novels and to be honest I've read very few. The artwork in this didn't appeal to me but the storyline was ok, though difficult to follow since I'm unfamiliar with the storyline of the novels. I did like the mini story (4 pages) at the end.
The art was terrible. The writing? Terrible. This adaptation was a poor choice for Cry Wolf. Honestly it was perhaps the worst book to comic adaptation I've ever read.
