I kinda changed my mind on this one. I may have rated the first book too high, because having read both of them (and the story is nowhere near over just yet), the overall impression seems to be more along the lines of likeable, but average.
Yes, the art is very good, but plot wise it’s pretty thin and there doesn’t seem to be enough originality here to rate this story above any of the similar monster hunting scenarios. Plus there are just too many kid characters. It would almost be YA if they weren’t so committed to very (surprisingly) graphically doing the titular thing. These books are fun enough and read very quickly, so I’d almost certainly read more if the library acquires them, if only to enjoy the art, but wouldn’t really care if that was the last of them either. A nice noncommittal approach. User mileage may vary.
