The concluding volume of the graphic novel adaptation of the book about a boy, raised by the inhabitants of the local graveyard who rally to protect him from a league of villains named Jack who seek to destroy him.

In this second volume of a graphic adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel, Bod wants to attend school with the living, but leaving the graveyard for the outside world puts more at risk than Bod knows.

Review of 'Graveyard Book Graphic Novel' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The artwork in the first chapter is a bit jarring, because Bod grows a lot between the first and the second volume. But other than that minor aspect, the book has been really adapted well. Silas is still as broody and there were some details that I'd never caught on during my initial read (of the novel).

One other nitpick I had is that the cover image is not representative of the actual panel in the book, which is far more gorgeous. The cover doesn't do justice to the book because they changed the colors for the Sleer to a slimy green instead of the golden-yellow on the panels.
