About book Battle For Shadowland (2010)

Nice little side-episode to the adventures of Whit and Wisty as they fight the One Who Is The One. It bears to mention that you have to be at least familiar with what happens in the first book to fully understand all that happens and is mentioned. There are a couple of panels that try to give some backstory, but they don’t really do a proper job of it. I’m not sure I would’ve liked it as much if I wasn’t already familiar with the world. This deserves a 2.5. The book was my first trip into the Witch and Wizard world. As a graphic novel, it wasn't a win. The art was reminiscent of Ben 10 and Archie, maybe Scoobie and the gang, and the writing was bleh. Even the bubble placement, something which normally doesn't even register, left a bit to be desired. I have to add, the artist may have not been to blame for the book's shortcomings, it could have been the producers or ink. The original ideas provided by the artist were a little darker than the final version. If they had stuck to darker Batman and Robin-like images throughout the work, and left the bright colors for only the kids, it would have created a nice juxtaposition between the shadowlands and new world and holdout areas. Instead, it was all Garfield all the time. Mostly, I would say this missed being a book suitable for everyone. The 9-12 year old boy crowd may like it ok, but for most it will leave a lot to be desired. I am not in a hurry to pick up any other graphic novels from the Witch and Wizard series, but the story was intriguing enough for me to want to try a novel.
