This was a very quick read. I read it once awhile back and recently found a copy (since I'm a book addict and have to own an entire series I had to add to my collection) and read again. It didnt improve the second time. I wasn't engaged in either the writing or illustrations. I grew up on comic books and graphic novels, I also love the Odd Thomas series. This didn't make me feel connected to the characters nor did I look at the Graphics and say "Yes, this is Odd & Stormy). ( )

My first graphic novel. Loved it!! Probably just because it was Odd Thomas. It was an interesting story and it was really nice to get to read about Stormy again. Miss her! ( )

This prequel to the Odd Thomas series, in graphic novel form, gives us a murder case that happens when Stormy and Odd are still dating. Odd uses his powers to help track down the killer.
I didn't think the drawings flowed as well as other graphic novels I've read, but I still liked it.

This was my first trip into the world of graphic novels. Having already been in love with the Odd Thomas series for a few years, it was a good place to start.

My favorite part of the whole book was being able to put faces to the characters and also getting a glimpse of the world of Pico Mundo, California where Odd and Stormy live. What took some getting used to was the simplicity of the writing and the over-the-top drama that's added to the dialogue. Keeping in mind that graphic novels are basically comic books on steroids, you accept the differences and even get used to them.

I hope that Koontz continues to add to the graphic novel series of Odd Thomas. ( )

Archie/Jughead in artistic style. The story is ok. I'm not sure a graphic novel conveys the entire story very well; but it's worth the read. ( )

Although some fans of the novels aren’t comfortable with the comic format, I found this story entertaining escapist fiction. Events escalate quickly into a roller coaster ride with a reassuring ending.
