This graphic novel continues the story of Edward Scissorhands, picking up two generations after the original story takes place. Edward awakens a humanoid creature before realizing that it was faulty and dangerous. The basic concept is a little trite, but it works here, and the overall effect of the book is enjoyably dark and creepy. The artwork is exceptional. The biggest drawback is that the story was too short and too quick for me to feel like I got to know the characters, or for me to fully appreciate the suspense. It took me maybe about 15-20 minutes to finish the book, and I was still trying to piece together aspects of the backstory, especially the family dynamics in Meg's life. (Meg is Kim's teenage granddaughter) I'm giving this four stars rather than three because I'm aware that a) I would have appreciated it more if I had seen the movie before and b) I recognize that my opinion about the pace is based on personal preference.
