review:
'Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie' by Anthony Del Col with art by Werther Dell'edera is, according to the author, an updated, noir version of these classic detectives.

Frank and Joe Hardy are no slouches at solving crimes, but when their father is found dead and they are accused of the murder, they may be in over their heads. Thankfully, they are friends with Nancy Drew and she has some ideas how to help, if only she can stop the Hardys from fighting each other.

I thought the characters and story were fine. I bristle when "updated" means the characters are borderline criminals. It's like being good is what dated them. They do still feel like the characters I know and the outcome feels like a familiar one, so I can't complain too badly. The art is decent too.

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.
