Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson: Moon Called Volume 1 (PATRICIA BRIGGS MERCY THOMPSON MOON CALLED TP)

What an exceptional recreation of the book moon called! They say a picture tells the tale in a 1000 words(if you get it right, as this book does) then it really the trick! I am very much impressed by the graphics and this retelling in this medium!Keep up the excellent work Patty and Mr. Lawrence!

The story is pretty good. It's almost exactly to the book, but the artwork keeps throwing me off. Its not bad artwork at all by itself, but for the characters of books I've read and loved for years it just doesn't match up.Its kind of like having a friend get a caricature picture done for them where the picture has some similarities, but not enough to really look like them. Maybe the hair color is mostly the same, body build is different and exaggerated, and the clothes look sometimes like them, but often just not like them at all. I don't know, its kinda weird for me.I don't hate it, but its not them.

These short graphic novels that hit the high points of Moon Called would make a good introduction to the world Patricia Briggs has created. David Lawrence has written an interesting story that remains true to the novel. The art is well done and I particularly like how Mercy is drawn. Though she does look younger than I had pictured her in my imagination.In the first volume, Mercy takes in a new young werewolf named Mac who tells a horrifying story about how he came to be a werewolf. But it isn't long before the werewolves he was running from catch up to him. He is killed, Adam is wounded and Jesse is kidnapped. Mercy is forced to take Adam home with her to Bran to get him the help he needs even though it also forces her to confront Samuel about their past.In the second volume, Mercy, Adam and Samuel come back to the Tri-Cities to try to locate and rescue Jesse and to figure out what is going on with the invading werewolves. There is a lot of story to condense in the second volume and occasionally the pacing seemed rushed. However, it might encourage readers to pick up the novel to get some of the detail that just can't fit into the graphic novel format. I know looking at and reading this one has made me eager to re-read Moon Called myself.I recommend these to graphic novel fans. The story and the art were both done well.

"In this house we eat our cookie dough like civilized women - with a spoon."First I want to point out that I absolutely loved the depiction of the fighting wolves at the beginning of Chapter 3. Would love to have it as a wallpaper.I'm not going to go through the story line because it follows Mercy's first book exactly. It begins with the werewolf attack on Mac and ends about the time that Mercy, Adam, and Samuel are in the van together headed back home.I'm not crazy about the way Woo illustrates the most important male characters - Adam and Samuel. It's possible that I'm being too picky, but I expected them to look a little better. Everyone else is great - the wolves, Mercy, Zee, Charles and especially Jesse.I think this graphic novel as a whole was excellent. Much better than "Homecoming".Just a friendly warning, avoid the bonus chapter about Mac at the end. The story lacks imagination and the illustration is probably the worst I've ever seen.[...]

I have been wanting to pick up the Mercy Thompson books, having heard they'd be right up my alley, but my TBR is so long, I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to it. So, when I saw this adaptation of the first Mercy Thompson novel, Moon Called, was available on Kindle Unlimited, I decided I'd go ahead & give it a try. I have mixed feelings about the result. While it was enjoyable enough, I definitely feel like it's something that I would've liked better had I been familiar with the original work. It seemed very obvious that a lot had to be cut out or condensed to make it all fit into this version of the story. And while it was easy enough to follow & figure out what was going on, character development & worldbuilding suffered quite a lot. Characters just kind of pop up out of nowhere without any clear explanation, leaving me more often than not with the just a vague feeling rather than true understanding of their relationships with Mercy. I found the art underwhelming as well. I don't know if it's just me but I felt like everything had sort of a greenish tint too it. I tend to enjoy graphic novels whose artists include detailed backgrounds & distinctly individual characters that are easily distinguished between. In this GN, several of the characters were so similar looking that I had to go back multiple times to keep them straight & discover what felt off. Overall, I thought this graphic novel was on the underwhelming side. I am going to continue with the second half since it is free & I like to finish what I started, but I'm not going to hold my breath that it will improve on what I dislike. I still intend to read the original novels; you can feel their potential simmering under watch the mediocre surface of the graphic novel, though it misses the mark.

Great story and great graphic art :) I recommend this book for all those who likes fantasy werewolves stories with strong heroines. And the graphics just adds more live to it! Definitely gonna look for more like it.

fan de la série et française, j'ai pu acheter le tome 0 de la version BD en Fr (installation de Mercy dans les Tri-cities)et voyant l'adaptation du T1/2 livre dont la lecture de la première page dans la librairie m'avait littéralement scotchée je n'ai pas pu résister malgré que mon anglais soit très pauvre.je style est le même que la BD0, et retrouver l'histoire en image est un vrai plus.c'est très bien transcris.mon seul désir, voir la BD adapter en français pour mieux comprendre car là, j'avoue, les quelques bulles sont souvent difficiles à comprendre.

A good story, well drawn and in keeping with the book it is based on.

the art is great and the story sticks to the book (which i also enjoyed)just the way a comic version of any book should be

La mejor adaptación al cómic de Mercy Thompson, los dibujos muy trabajados y los personajes muy bien caracterizados, vale la pena, al menos para mí
