Grimm Volume 1
Nick, Monroe, Hank. If that trio doesn’t sound familiar to you then you probably haven’t been watching NBC’s Grimm. This is a comic that is mainly for fans of the show though it does recap all of the most important things you need to know if you’re not already a fan of the show: Nick is a Grimm aka he sees the Wesen (fairy tale animal like creatures) in people that the rest of us don’t, Hank is his partner who knows about all of this, Monroe is one of the Wesen -- he just happens to be a good guy and quite the useful sidekick.
In this book we witness a pretty standard Portland case - aka a wedding gone wrong when a group gets wind of a mixed marriage (that's probably not what you think it is -- unless you know how this show works).
We also find a not so typical case -- the three guys taking a last minute “vacation” together in Europe after Nick’s mom calls home and it becomes clear that everything is not okay where she is.
Fans of the show will probably love this book. People who haven’t yet watched the show would probably find it okay, but it really does help if you’re a fan to fill in those finer details that this book just couldn’t fit in. The art was good, though some of the show characters look more convincing than others.
* Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost in order to review it. I offered no guarantee of a positive review, though I only request books I think I'll like because why read a book you think you’ll hate?
