Like The Return of Effie Kolb, which this spun out of, this book felt flat to me. I just don't think there is enough characterization here or in the previous book to really make you care about Sara May, so it ends up feeling lifeless to me as I just don't really care what happens to her.

Probably alright if you didn't I'm definitely skipping the rest. This is the only Mignola book other than the Visitor that I've dropped.
Yep. A character I care little about and very, very underwhelming art. The story isn't bad, but the execution isn't up to it.
Issue #2 was worse than #1. The art continues to suffer and the storytelling was disjointed. It's a straightforward story of the school grooming Sara for some nefarious purpose, but they way they are going about it is lackluster at best. I don't know what it is with the Mignolaverse with these mediocre artists. They used to have such great art in the books.
So issue #4. I forgot what was going on so was a bit confused by the conclusion. But mainly apathetic to it all. Special young woman stories have become very boring.

I stopped after issue one so you have a stronger will than I.

Weaker from my perspective.
