MEDIA REVIEWS
A stunning graphic novelStrong visual images and dialogue that sticks closely to the original book make for a good read for those new to CHERUB or who have previously enjoyed Muchamore's books.Strong visual images and dialogue that sticks closely to the original book make for a good readLook out for Muchamore's first CHERUB tale which is now a stunning graphic novel.This graphic novel adaptation of Muchamore's popular teen-spy series captures all of the excitement and authenticity of the original. The illustrations are well balanced with the dialogue/narration and do a fine job of pushing the quickly paved story forward. This is a great choice to bring reluctant or less-advanced readers into the thrilling series,and would also appeal to fans of Anthony Horowitz and Ally Carter.Aggs's art is strong,and the use of bold color and sharp lines help drive much of the action and fighting James goes through before he gets initiated. All handled with a surprisingly levelheaded and grounded perspective.
