My Review:
Tara Normal is an awesome, kick-butt character. I love her attitude and how she isn’t afraid to just be herself. Her first case in Case Zero was definitely intriguing. I loved learning a little about her past and I’m curious about what she might discover about herself and her parents. However, when it came time for Tara to solve her first paranormal case I found some of the humor was just not my style, which turned me off a little.
The second case file, Plan 10, was much more fun! I really loved the Sheriff and how he and Tara worked as an unlikely team. I also found the actual case more entertaining than Case Zero.
The artwork of this graphic novel is just awesome and the work put into its pages is amazing. I had fun reading it and can’t wait to read more.
