A review by trilbynorton
The Unwritten, Vol. 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity by Mike Carey

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A decent enough start to a series, but not up to the standard I was expecting from the guys who brought us the excellent Lucifer. Still, this is only the first five issues of the "Harry Potter does metafiction" series, and there is some promise, especially in the final issue of this collection, which harkens back to the sort of things Carey did in Lucifer's more adventurous standalone issues.
