The art is just brilliant. I was mesmerized right from the opening scene, where the moon was drawn spectacularly. The story is fine, but the art is what made me spellbound. Now I'm going to have to read every work by this author/illustrator. 4 stars are entirely for the art.

Note - I received a free copy of the book from the publisher. This has not influenced my review in any way. ( )

I enjoyed Wraithborn, it did not disappoint and the artwork was very good. At the same time it just felt like more of the same. Similar story and characters, nothing that really made this stand out from any number of other good but not special or unique books. Special is difficult, I understand that, but I think if experienced writers and illustrators are going to work on something they can at least shoot for unique. Something unique that falls a little short is, for me, far more interesting than the usual done well. If you're going to do the usual, then make it special.

That sounds more negative than I intend. I would still recommend this, especially to readers who aren't immersed in graphic novels and similar story lines.
