Edward Scissorhands Volume 1: Parts Unknown by Drew Rausch, Kate Leth
4.0
In this graphic novel, we follow Megan, the teenage granddaughter of Kim Boggs. One day, Megan goes into storage and finds a box of her grandmothers things, among them, her grandmothers diary. In the diary Megan reads about Edward, which backs up the stories that she remembers her grandmother telling her when she was a little girl. Determined to see if Edward was real, Megan goes to the castle on the hill. When she meets Edward, he tells her that he has made a mistake, which is causing quite a stir in the town. Edward and Megan then work together to try to fix things.
First of all, I have to say that I LOVED that this graphic novel picked up with a quote right from the very end of the movie! What a lovely touch that was! It actually made me a little teary.
Overall, the plot was simple and straightforward. I found it interesting, but it didn’t totally captivate me. I enjoyed the characters and I am definitely looking forward to learning more about them in the next volume.
The artwork has a lovely strangeness to it, and the color palette created the perfect tone for each of the panels!
I would definitely recommend this to any Edward Scissorhands fan! Though I would caution readers that this collection lives in the teen section, so just keep that in mind when it comes to tone, characters, and other such things.
