Graphic Novel Review: Wires and Nerve
Summary: When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. She is soon working with a handsome royal guard who forces her to question everything she knows about love, loyalty, and her own humanity. With appearances by Cinder and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the series.
Thoughts: As a fan of the Lunar Chronicles and anything with pictures I was so excited the see this graphic novel's release!
First up the art is really nice, it's not fantastic but it endearing and seems to capture the feel of the characters rather than bothering with making them great.
The cast is mostly returning characters and it's neat to actually get to see them this time, complete with facial expression and cool moves. I have to say that the new villain is definitely doing his job, very villainy and kinda creepy.
The story is so cool! Finally some focus on Iko and a chance for the sweet little android to shine!
And the writing does a great job of keeping the same feel as the book characters without sacrificing the fun of it all being a graphic novel. I mean, it's gotta be difficult to go from writing every movement and thought to simply writing the dialogue and using pictures to show the rest.
Content: A bit of violence, mentions of death, some blood. D*** and H*** may have been used a few times. There are a few panels showing kissing.
Really, it's a pretty clean graphic novel which was a super great bonus to the awesome story! highly suggested for all fans of the Lunar Chronicles!
