This was a semi-interesting idea, but very simple and not very engaging. Might work better for young-adults or kids than this old man. ( )

What happened to Amelia Earhart, when she disappeared over the Pacific on her around the world flight?

Her plane had engine trouble, and she and Fred Noonan had to bail out. Then they fell through a hole in spacetime...

Amelia finds herself in the middle of a rebellion by not-quite-human people against the evil lord who has driven them from their homes and is brutally oppressing them. She needs to find Fred, and that means helping her new friends, Cort and Tavel, rescue their friends. Along the way, they encounter swarming, flesh-eating insects, and find shelter from them in a Nazi submarine stranded in the trees.

She also meets up with another person who famously disappeared after jumping out of a plane.

Flying steeds, flesh-eating insects, freedom fighters, dark lords, and Nazi subs in trees are a lot to adjust to in short order, but Amelia is tough, resourceful,and determined. The story is fast-paced, and the art grabbed my eyes and helped keep me engaged.

Recommended.

I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher, and am reviewing it voluntarily. ( )

An interesting take on the Amelia Earhart mystery: after the engine failed on their fateful trip, Fred Noonan and Amelia Earhart parachute away from the plane. However, Amelia finds herself falling towards a bright light and falls thru this light into an alternate universe. Not knowing where Fred is, she convinces two of the locals to help her storm the castle of the area's overlord, in hopes of saving Fred. Of course, this doesn't go entirely according to plan, and Amelia must make decisions then on how to save herself and get back home.

I've always been intrigued by the Amelia Earhart mystery, so this was an easy buy for me. The character-driven storytelling and simplistic, cartoon-ish yet solid art really made this a great book. Recommended! ( )

What happened to Amelia Earhart?

(Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC for review through Edelweiss.)

This a fun, quick read. A more outlandish piece of alternative history told in graphic novel format, Elsewhere explores the mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart. When she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, had to bail from their plane due to do engine trouble, they jumped right into a space-time portal that transported them to an alien world. Amelia is rescued by a ragtag team of freedom fighters and quickly drawn into their cause, as the groups' missions converge. Together with another stranded earthling named D.B., Amelia and her allies storm the fortress of despot Lord Kragen in search of their friends.

The result is entertaining, if not terribly substantive. What Elsewhere lacks in plot depth and character development, it mostly makes up for with a cheeky sense of humor - not to mention a plot twist that maybe kinda sorta hinges on male entitlement and misogyny. (Whether it's intentionally or accidentally feminist is anyone's guess.) The artwork is stellar, and Amelia makes for a delightfully plucky protagonist. Overall Volume 1 lays the foundation for what could be a really great series.

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 a) because I'm a generous reviewer and b) to make up for the book's current middling 3.18 stars on Goodreads.
