Title: Cellies Volume 1
Author: Joe Flood & Davis Stuart II
Genre: Graphic Novel
Rating: *
Review: So from a glance Cellies seems more like a friendship and family based graphic novel rather than a creepy Halloween read: “It's Halloween season, when Seven Sails theme park's Shocktober Nights rule! Budding teen rebel Rey decides to ditch work to join her friends for spooky fun and asks Devin to cover for her. One thing though: Rey's parents are a little (read: very) strict! Devin must wait for Rey to rush to Jog Mobile by 9pm – after closing – in time for her parents to pick her up. But Parker and her friends have other plans. Will Rey make it back in time? Can Devin keep her out of trouble?”
I was disappointed with the beginning of Cellies as we are only introduced to the store workers of Jog Mobile and their daily work life for 3 whole chapters, we don’t get to the Seven Sails theme park's Shocktober Nights until the opening of chapter 4. I didn’t think this much of the novel was needed introducing the characters and the store maybe just one chapter so by the time chapter 4 came around I was already bored.
The only interesting part of this graphic novel for me was the end in which Rey’s parents who are really strict decides to visit the store to speak to her boss, but Parker pretends instead to help her friend. However, Rey’s parents want to speak to the supervisor and are threatening action against the store for leaving a 16-year-old girl alone late at night and they also make Rey basically quit her job. While I won’t be continuing with the series, it was terrible just not my cup of tea.
