Assessment Containing Books Cursed Pirate Girl: The Collected Edition, Volume One (Cursed Pirate Girl #1)

The art in this book is stunning and I love the Pirate Girl's fearlessness and swagger. I wanted to really be drawn into the story, but reading it, I felt pulled in a few directions. The detail and richness of the art can distract from the narrative movement and there's no rhythm of down-time and character building. It's just event after event after event, without pacing; no building of momentum in a kind of wave-like, tidal, motion.This book is in some ways light and funny, with physical comedy

Beautiful, beautiful book. Bastian's artwork is sumptuous, reminding me at times of John R. Neill, Windsor McCay, Tony Millionaire, Dame D'arcy, Bob Burden, S. Clay Wilson and Eric Shanower. There are incredible amounts of detail on every page. The story is like a child's fantasy of pirates. It almost reminds me of the One Piece manga in some respects. This is impressive stuff, and I eagerly await volume 2. Special kudos to the designer of this book, as it's a work of art in itself (take that,

Jeremy Bastian may not be a name you are familiar with in terms of comic lore, but mark my words: he soon will be. The Hieronymous Bosch-like ink-work alone in this sequential masterpiece makes this artist green with envy, nevermind the Alice-in-Wonderland-meets-Treasure-Island story. Curse you, Jeremy Bastian!

So I just read this in one sitting and I came away with a feelings about Pirates-Victorians-Alice-in-Wonderland-Underwater-Adventures-&-Beautiful-Art; essentially this book has a lot going on...I picked this up after reading the Mouse Guard where Jeremy Bastian did some guest artist work becuase I immediately loved his style of drawing and line-work and it reminded me a lot of the style I love to draw in. Therefore, I could really appreciate the LEVEL of detail within this story. This book,

The Cursed Pirate Girl is a mind-twisting trip through the adventures of a young girl looking for her pirate father on the Omertà Seas. It has been compared to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which I can see, but I enjoyed this WAY more.Starting out, you meet Apollonia, the Govenor's daughter, who witnesses a fight between three rough looking boys and young girl. After the boys get thrashed, the young girls tells Apollonia to meet her the next day & she would tell the tale of the Cursed

2/5 stars!This art is so beautiful (besides the dialogue bubbles which are almost impossible to read at times), but this story just never had any sense or structure. I was more confused on the last page than the first. Very disappointed.

[3.5 Stars] This was pretty cool! I think the artwork is really what stands out because it manages to be beautiful, detailed, and grotesque all at the same time. The story is a bit off the wall and pretth whimsical, but I actually really liked that. I do really wish that the artwork had a bit more contrast. Everything was so detailed that it was sometimes difficult to figure out what your eyes were supposed to rest on. All that said and done, I do think this could have used just a little more of
