This story is about Iko chasing down the wolves, and anyone reading is likely to have read the Lunar Chronicles, so you'd know that there has been some dispersal that is evident right at the beginning. Now for the story! I am pleased to report that all your favorite people from the Lunar Chronicles will at least make a cameo though some have bigger roles than others here. My favorite scene was in a store where they were attempting to get some replacement parts for Iko. By that, I mean that it was drawn akin to an issue of Lumberjanes with everyone fully clothed and no body parts exaggerated or disproportionate to reality and no suggestive body language or poses. While I'm sure that this graphic novel appeals to everyone who enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles and that it's audience was much bigger than YA alone, the art was everyone friendly. Make no mistake, this did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the graphic novel, but just a heads up to future readers. The blue hues that were used were gorgeous and evident from the cover but I did think at least the oranges would be sprinkled in there. I was also surprised by the lack of color.
I've seen thick hardcovers there too, but they were always compilations of a huge set of comics that were a series put together or something. When I finally got a chance to get my hands on it, I was surprised that it was a legit hardcover and looked like a book on the outside rather than a graphic novel would in the comics section. His answer was that he can run over to Barnes and Noble and grab it during the rest of his errands for the day. I normally like to read ebooks but my husband has been listening to the series (as I had done) and just got Stars Above and so I asked his opinion on whether we should get the print hardcover or the ebook. I already love the series and this is written in comic form so it's that much easier to do in just one sitting. My husband was surprised by this but I imagine that no bookish person would be.
