Fills in so many gaps. Wonderful.
I was bit harsh went it comes to the first book. I will admit.But this one.... Just deserves to be out in jail. I wanna put it in jail and then out it on electric chair. I feel like that's probably best for the book
Better than the first arc which had weak art (Dean as a blonde??), but a bit repetitive.
This is much better than the first pre-series Supernatural graphic novel. First, as is evident from glancing at the cover, the art is much better! The characters still don't look like anything from the show, but some of the drawings are really beautiful. The story is basically: What do you do when you think your youngest son is evil and demonic, but you still love him? Although the story doesn't really work with canon, I liked that it was about the darkness in Sam and the ambiguity of his relati...
Loved this one! Wish I could find the next 2 :/
This is the second of four graphic novel prequels to the Supernatural TV series that were produced by Wildstorm Comics in the late 2000s. In this one, John Winchester and his sons Dean and Sam are still travelling the country in their black 1967 Chevy Impala, hunting monsters and trying to find the demon that killed the boys mother. The boys are a bit older here - Dean in particular is starting to want to get involved in the hunter's life so he can better protect his younger brother and help his...
I haven’t read the first volume, Origins, but I decided to read this one anyways. As the summary says, this takes place quite awhile before the show Supernatural begins. Dean is 11 years old and is taken on his first hunt. You also get to see the beginnings of the dark side wanting to take Sam. I thought this was a pretty good graphic novel. The illustrations were great and the writing was good as well. (And the book smells really good :P) I definitely recommend this graphic to fans of Supernatu...
John Winchester strikes again with the truly awful parenting. The artwork is SO much better than volume 1, though.
Well, the artwork is a bit better. But I'm not sure about the story...
Hmmm. Well. Didn't hate it, but it didn't seem to have a lot of substance for a plot either. Highlights were mainly John's internal thoughts about whether his boy was evil and destined to lead a dark army, yet he was relentless in how far he'd go to protect him also—so I really loved that because it fits with how I view John. There was also a really nice moment when he shows Sam the sunrise and how it banishes any darkness.The robot scene, however, was entirely too ridiculous and as much as I li...
1.5 stars. Beyond my... thematic issues, the title didn't really add anything of substance to the story nor was it actually the story as billed, but that's something I can get over. What I can't get over is the repeated use of sexualized violence, particularly against a twelve year old child that just went entirely unaddressed as with everything that happened with John. I would perhaps be less upset about this if it tried to go beyond the show's use of the trope of women's weaponized sexuality a...
this story is creepy as f**k
This one was even better than the first one-As not only was the story & writing on point {In a condensed way, of course}, so was the artwork. :) The Artist, Colourist & Letterer were all changed for this one & I prefer their collective styles to the first one. I've got the 3rd issue to read next & this is another comic that I'm definitely going to continue with. :)
This was a lot better than Supernatural: Origins, especially in terms of art and plot. However, my major problem with this is that many of the plot points directly contradict actual show canon, and don't really make sense for the character's backgrounds.
Meh..... Oh fine I'll write more. The artwork was pretty good, the storyline made little sense and the fact that John kept dumping his kids off on others only to come roaring back because most of them were either possessed or easily lost the boys made me want to just tape them to a tree and say "There, now the demons can chase them down and be very confused like why are you guys taped to a tree?". There were a few things that bugged me, how did John not know Ms. Lyle was a demon- oh I'm sorry FR...
A fun little prequel story to the television series; feel like I really need to read the first volume to fully appreciate the origin story of the Winchester brothers, though.
Much better than the Origins. i laughed at the hilarious two-faced Sam and Dean monster at the Ghostfacers section at the end, "Witness the terrible fury of our perfect bone structure!" "No one can have fuller, poutier lips than us!"
art was a bit better
I guess I'm in the minority with this one, but so far I just haven't been that impressed with the Supernatural graphic novels.This one is still a prequel, taking place not long after the first graphic novel. In this one, the boys are still preteens/early teens and the story mostly centers on John. The boys do have more of a role here than they did the first volume, however. Now, a few things just didn't seem to fit to me. So the basic story is we find out Sam is eventually supposed to lead an ar...
I seriously don't get this book...It contradicts the actual show canon. WE (and Dean) only find out how "special" Sam is in Season 4... SO... John and Dean finding out in this book (almost two decades before Season 1) doesn't really make any sense. And if this book doesn't make sense canonically, what's actually the point of it? I liked Dean's involvement here & trying to help. Yay Bobby appearance! And the art is somewhat improved from Vol. 1. (except for John's cheek creases which look like te...
