review:
'Nancy Drew: The Palace of Wisdom' by Kelly Thompson with art by Jenn St-Onge is an updated version of a popular character. It's a character that was probably about due for an update, and it's happened a few times during the character's history.

Nancy Drew no longer lives in Bayview, but a mysterious message draws her back to town. She also catches up with old friends. Nancy's inability to let her friends know where she is leaves her in danger and her friends frustrated with her. She meets a mysterious young man along the way and realizes that she was invited back to solve an unsolved mystery.

I liked it ok. I wasn't a fan of the art. It felt a bit too cartoonish for my tastes, which is interesting because most of the covers are drawn a bit more realistically. I'd also have a hard time recommending this to a pre-teen audience due to some of the content. Still, i't nice to see these characters around and solving mysteries again.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
