A cute, fun comic with just a bit of darkness. I liked Emily a lot as a character. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to read the original run or to continue with this reboot, but I'd probably buy them if I came across them. Received from NetGalley.

Emily and the Strangers is a very enjoyable comics. Emily and the Strangers are very strange and different people. It was really nice reading about such different characters. Also, there are a lot of cats in this book.
The illustrations were amazing! I love, love, love the artwork done in this comics! They were fantastic! The story was fun and amusing to read.
Emily the Strange seemed like the rock-goth type and she was very fun and sarcastic. I really love how weird she was, sometimes. She has a time machine and lots of other cool things too!
The reason I gave this three stars is that I finished this book in about thirty minutes and thirty minutes is not enough time for the awesomeness to sink in, you know? That's why I find comics very difficult to rate because I finish them quickly and I'm left behind feeling nothing. Don't let my ratings deter you from reading this book! It's a very enjoyable read! Definitely pick this book up for the amazing illustrations!

This is my first Emily the Strange graphic novel and I'm addicted!!!
She is so spunky and bad-ass, and her personality is so awesome. Her inventions and her cats make her just a little bit more "strange" but that's her allure.
Can't wait to read more.

I've been reading Emily the Strange since I was a teen. This volume was cute, but definitely not my favorite.

This is a really cute quick read.
It was nice to have a break and read something different like this.
All the characters are animated and it's great to go on an adventure with the main character Emily.
I would definitely read more of these graphic novels.
I can really see people that are into gothic stuff liking this as Emily comes across as a Goth.
Overall an enjoyable read =)

This title is beautifully colored but the storyline felt a bit scattered throughout the three issues that comprised the volume, not just in terms of overall feel and cohesiveness but also in terms of panel and bubble layout. With that said, I can see young teens really enjoying this graphic novel, so it is highly likely my library will be purchasing it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the digital copy! Off first impressions, I thought this story sounded really cute and something fun, light, and easy to read. The plot was one that intrigued me and I was excited. I was thoroughly enjoying seeing Emily give her best efforts to win a contest - the prize being a guitar previously owned by the late rock god, Professa Kraken. It was a shame that after I got about 1/4 through, everything went downhill from there. I found it hard to get into, felt confused at times, and was too easily distracted by outside sources. In my opinion, the whole thing was just a bit messy. On a positive note, the illustrations were great. I especially enjoyed the band members' looks but other than that, it just didn't do it for me. It definitely had potential but just couldn't quite make it there. Although with the overall message the story projects and cute aspects (ie: all the cats, band members' looks), I think this volume will be enjoyed by a much younger audience that isn't expecting much.

I was once a fan of Emily the Stranger, and for the most part I still am, I have just grown away from that part of my life. This is a new titles to reinvigorate the series. Emily now has some help from new friends she reluctantly makes when she has to have a band to win a famous gutair.
I liked the reboot, and I can see many girls, and maybe a few guys who I know will love an enjoy this titles and wait for the next in the series.
