review:
'Courtney Crumrin: The Final Spell' by Ted Naifeh is the final volume in a series I've enjoyed. While I ultimately liked it, it wasn't my favorite volume in the series.
This volume picks up directly after the end of Volume 5. If you are unfamiliar with gloomy witch Courtney, this is no place to start. Courtney and her former teacher Calpurnia are on the run by car. They are running from the witches and warlocks in Hillsborough, who are giving chase by flying after them. Courtney and Calpurnia have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way and Uncle Aloysius plays an interesting part that may surprise readers of the series. Themes of family and sacrifice run throughout
I thought the very end was closer in feel to where I wanted the entire volume to be, but it does give good closure on the series. Ted Naifeh's art is just as good here as anywhere else. There is a point where the color palette makes a drastic shift and I thought that was a great touch given what is happening. I look forward to seeing what Ted Naifeh's next project will be.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
