REVIEW
Let me start off by saying that I enjoyed this graphic novel though at first it was hard to get used to the writing style and storyline, but in the end it was a great read for me. Plus the illustrations are stunning.
When first checking out this book on NetGalley I thought it was gonna be cute light hearted read (based on the cover) a fun children's tale of a cute alien named Zed (it kind of was, but not the way I expected), but then I read it. This is one of those books in where you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. For I thought it was going to be a cute tale of an alien named Zed, but let's just say this book doesn't really have a children's type or storyline or vocabulary.
This graphic novel contains gory, dark comedy, a witty/silly/strange-in-a-cool-way storyline. This book also has religious aspects of it. Like I've said I actually had to get use to the writing style, but in the end I actually enjoyed it. I didn't really mind the fact that it wasn't what I expected (a cute kid's tale). It was actually kind of awesome, and I would actually pick this graphic novel up and the others in the series. (If the author is actually planning to continue with the series.)

If you liked Invader Zim's "strangeness-dark-humor" you'll probably and I would say most likely enjoy this graphic novel, but what ever you do not expect it to be a children's story. I would say you would have to be a 15 year old or older to read this. (You may enjoy this book if you are younger, but I am not sure if your parents would like that.)
NEGATIVES: • I believe that some of the cursing isn't really necessary.
• The evil villain is a stereotypical villain.
• This book is somewhat cliché. (Entertaining, but a bit cliché.)
POSITIVES:
• The illustrations are simply amazing.
• Zed is so cute!
• Some twists are unexpecting.
VIDEO REVIEW: None.
MY FAVORITE SCENE(S):
In where... :D
OVERALLL: I recommend this to Invader Zim Fans. People who enjoy dark humor. (Note: This book is not for kids.)
My Rating: ★★★★☆
Overall (Goodreads) Rating: 3.55 Stars
( o u t . o f . f i v e . stars)
