I really enjoyed this comic! I watched the movie before getting my hands on this and was super impressed with how many things I loved from the movie were direct pulls from the book. The relationships between all the characters were super fascinating and entertaining. Mostly an adventurous and emotional story, but with plenty of humor. Definitely pretty violent with some gore but not excessive in my opinion. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an action packed, emotional story with a bit of fantasy.
