5 Stars

 

“Life is a series of unique opportunities. It’s our job to find the happiness in each one.”

I may not be a graphic novel expert, but I know what I like and BOY OH BOY DID I LIKE THIS!!!!!

Like all of my graphic novels reviews, I can’t give away all of the . . .



for fear the army of tiny Goodreads Spoiler Trolls will barrage my review space with nasty commentary. I will say this had everything Mitchell and I look for in a good story. Deadly Class had a magical learning establishment . . .



where awesome courses like Assassin Psychology, Beheading, Poison, and Hand-to-Hand Combat were taught . . .



Nasty cliques . . .



No. Like REALLY nasty cliques . . .



A great soundtrack . . .



Drug usage . . .



And a plot to murder Ronald Reagan. The Gipper? Say it ain’t so!!!!





Oh, I can’t forget to mention the art. Now I realize I know about shit from shinola about artwork, but this was the best I’ve ever seen. Every. Single. Panel. was spectacular . . .



ALL THE STARS!!!!!

 

Highly recommended (to everyone except Erica that is – ‘cause she’ll just read it wrong and make me have a sad).
