review:
'Eleanor & The Egret Volume 1: Taking Flight' by John Layman with art by Sam Kieth is a charming and quirky graphic novel about an art thief and her talking bird.

A daring art theft in Paris takes place, and the police are baffled by motive. The painting in question is worth a lot of money. Instead, it is fed to a bird, who then grows large and fat with it. Thus begins the adventures of Eleanor and her friend the Egret.

I liked this odd story. I'm not sure I was completely happy with the plot when it was all said and done, but I really liked the characters. I also really liked the art which borrowed from some art periods I like and had odd asides in some of the panels.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
