As mythic retellings go, I think this is awesome -- the graphic novel component is great; it's an interesting tale from a culture that many people aren't familiar with, and a classic good vs evil showdown. In many ways it feels like an updated, really well done picture book in the tradition of many folk and fairy tale picture books of the past. If you are looking for character development, or real depth of story, that doesn't appear to be the purpose of this series. ( )

Lots of love for this kids' graphic novel indigenous myth. The artwork and text worked together beautifully and the action moved along at just the right pace to keep turning the pages but also to savor it along the way. ( )
