I found this as I was perusing the library catalogue while on the info desk (I see a pattern emerging), and thought I'd give it a go. It was... fine. I mean, it's an urban fantasy comic, and I like urban fantasy and I like graphic novels, so it seemed like a good thing to try. But, I didn't really find anything to grab me. Rue is a teen whose mother suddenly goes missing. That is disorienting enough, but then Rue begins to see things that shouldn't be there (people with horns or other fantastical features, people who others can't see), and her father is accused of killing one of his students. Pretty soon, Rue is informed that her mother is actually a faerie (in the sense of fae, not like Tinkerbell), and that Rue is too. Rue tries to figure this all out. That's basically it, in this volume. I'm not in a big rush to keep reading this, as my pile is large, but it may show up on my radar again at some point. ( )

I love Holly Black, she is awesome! This graphic novel was short and sweet and started off an interesting story about Rue and her mother's Fae heritage. I am not a huge fan of gothic illustrations, I found the dark colors distracting (but that is just me) and I felt like sometimes the faces were distorted, not sure if that was on purpose. ( )

This graphic novel is pretty dark. Rue's mom has disappeared and a college student has been found murdered. Rue's dad is suspected in killing both. Oddly, Rue has started seeing creatures that no one else can see. Perhaps Rue isn't completely human, as the fae world seems to exist. There is a cliff hanger of sorts, and we do not have book two. Yikes. ( )

This... was not quite as good as I remember it being. The idea itself holds a lot of promise (can’t ever go wrong with Holly Black’s faeries), but the execution wasn’t the best. In general I’m not the biggest fan of this art style but my main problem has to do with the pacing. Everything felt rushed, the characters flat and hardly anything explained before rushing onto the next scene. This could easily be solved if the book was longer and more time spent actually building the storyline but instead we have only a little of over 100 pages of wasted potential. ( )

A good beginning to Rue's story, and as always, I enjoyed Holly Black's vision of Faerie. But I found the art occasionally distracting: the proportions or foreshortening seemed off, somehow, at times, and I found myself dwelling on the images trying to discover what felt wrong. This formed only a small portion of the artwork, but it definitely detracted from a seamless graphic novel experience. ( )

The Good Neighbors is a very good book and an excellent start to a new series. The art may not have been my cup of tea, but it was only a minor gripe.
