This was ok. It was entertaining enough with a female character who fights the nasties and finds out that her past isn't truly past. If you read a lot of action hero graphic novels then this story will not surprise you.

It was good to read it and the artwork and colouring were good. A good story, but nothing groundbreaking.

Belle is an eye-catching adventure that reminds me of the best mythical comic book work out there. It's a polished product and an entertaining action-packed reading experience. More fine work from this publisher.

Having read all four initial episodes of this book, it was a must-do when the chance of all six issues in one trade came along. But I can't say I'm completely keen on where the direction ultimately took us. It's a most unusual book – it takes the Percy Jackson, young-human-hero-against-Greek-entities thing and ramps it up to a teen read. It's gory yet glossy, sweary and violent, yet with this sheen of the high-brow. It also really swings to and fro very erratically – if you take the individual issues in isolation you never finish them anywhere near where you started. And throughout our buxom beauty has to entertain with her Greek myth monsters, and somehow fit into Beauty and the Beast fan-fic – and belong to some kind of GCU (Grimm Comic Universe) I'd never heard of. The end result is impressive, but, perhaps because of all those demands put upon it, to the outsider at least is perhaps a little too incoherent and erratic for its own good. Three and a half stars, for sake of argument.
