I wish this book were longer! This comic takes place after the second movie and ties in some of the happenings from it- so it's a great continuation of the story of the characters from there. The illustrations are amazing! Gritty and dark but still retain that toon-animated feel the movies/TV show had. The plot of this comic is original, fast-paced and showcases that thought-provoking, action-packed and emotional style of writing DeBlois is known for that made the original movies a cut above the rest. It introduces a new comic-exclusive villain and you'll finish it in an hour or two after being hooked by the first few pages. The movie series is some of my favorites, so It definitely feels like you are following along with an episode from the canon Dreamworks Dragon TV show and doesn't feel out of place at all. This comic can hold the attention of adults and children- any age, any type of HTTYD fan. ( )
