Hotel Transylvania Graphic Novel Vol. 1: Kakieland Katastrophe by Stefan Petrucha

3.0

'Hotel Transylvania Graphic Novel Vol. 1: Kakieland Katastrophe' by Stefan Petrucha with art by James Silvani is the first graphic novel based on the film series of the same name. The reader is strongly advised to see the films before reading or things may not be very clear.

Business at the Hotel Transylvania is booming now that a new theme park has opened up next door. When horror novelist Stephen Cling visits and takes a series of selfies with the monsters, he uses the internet to make people afraid. When humans wielding pitchforks and torches show up, the gang knows they need to prove they aren't all that scary.

The gags are pretty funny and the characters feel pretty true to the movies. The story feels like standard kids comic book fare, which is fine if your kids are fans of the movies. I felt like the art was pretty mediocre, but it serves the story well enough.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
