Beautiful Creatures chapter 1 review Story by Kami Garcia
& Margaret Stohl Art by Cassandra Jean
Ethan was your ordinary teenage boy, one of the cool kids at
that. One day a mysterious new girl arrives in town. Instantly labeled an
outsider, Lena and Ethan quickly develop a deep bond. But there are mysteries
in store for this pair….
Serialized in the Yen Plus comic anthology, Beautiful Creatures is a
comic adaptation of a novel of the same name. Cassandra Jean breathes life into
what could easily have been quite a generic story. The characters are
relatively interesting but what really brings this story to life is the
uniquely gorgeous art and tranquil pacing that brings to mind Japanese comic
artist Natsume Ono.
The story has some interesting elements and the heroine is
an intriguing character. The male lead, however, is largely unsympathetic
coming off as bland. Nonetheless this is an excellent start and I await seeing
what directions the story is taken in future chapters.
Beautiful Creatures is available through the Yen Plus comic anthology only.
