Twig #1 by Skottie Young

Only show reviews with written explanations

A little slow to start but I am really enjoying seeing the world as Twig goes on his adventures and love that he wanted to be a chef! The end of this issue definitely has me wanting to pick up the next one.

Oh, wow.

I was in The Last Bookstore staring at graphic novels for like an hour and feeling like nothing was grabbing me when I stumbled on this gem. I looked at one page and knew I needed this book immediately. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I could stare at this book all day, serious!

The ending was so, so perfect too.

I’ve never read anything by Skottie Young but I definitely want to now after reading this first issue and having heard good things about Middlewest and The Me You Love in the Dark. It starts out pretty basic which is not a bad thing because it’s just setting up but I really like how aware this world is that they even have a designated hero, or ‘journeyer’ as they refer to them in this world, to take upon quests that affect the world. Strahm’s art is colorful, cute and imaginative! It feels very folksy and wholesome and reminds me of The Dark Crystal which I have never seen because I was terrified of the trailers they had on our VHS tapes as a kid. I’ll return to a full review of this miniseries once it is all released but I am very excited for this!

This book may be short but it's still wonderful, has beautiful illustrations and kept my attention from beginning to end.

Looking forward to seeing what further adventures Twig goes on.

Love everything by Skottie young. I was introduced with I hate fairyland which I’m currently reading. Looking forward to the next issue of this. Nice little read and I’m utterly interested in this little blue guys adventure.
