It starts with a bang, and ends with the same high-spirited momentum. Overall, Storm Born issues #1 and #2 are one action-packed kick-butt start to a great series. It looked exactly like a comic book should. While I am a fan of those, this work is detailed, yet grungy. The pictures do not have a “high end, hang me in a museum” feel to them that most books turned graphic novels have. Though the plot was incredible, the artwork in this particular story is what truly drew me in. In lieu of this, our heroine continues to consider the case of the missing girl and the puzzle continues to unravel from there. After a world wind night with the perfect stranger, Eugenie’s night comes to a screeching halt when she is once again attacked by a creature from the Otherworld. Things only worsen when she is approached with the case of rescuing a missing girl from the Gentry, known to us as fairies. After working a normal case, Eugenie’s world begins to take a drastic turn as members of the supernatural world learn her real name. Her arsenal includes a gun, two athames and a wand which she uses to either kill or banish her enemies back into the Otherworld. Storm Born Vol.1 stars Eugenie Markman a “shaman-for-hire” known to the supernatural world as Odiel.

Because of its enticing plot line and unique view of the paranormal world, it was made in to an equally enticing graphic novel.

Storm Born started out as an urban fantasy novel by bestselling author Richelle Mead in 2008. But when I stumbled across Storm Born, I was hooked. Normally I’m pretty choosy about the graphic novels I read, and even those are few and far between.
