Book: Disney Kingdom Seekers of the Weird #1 (of 5) by Brandon Seifert with illustrations by Karl Moline and color by Jean-Francois Beaulieu
Rating: 4 1/2 stars
Review:
Seekers of the Weird is like Gravity Falls meets Percy Jackson, in the first issue of this miniseries siblings Melody and Maxwell find out that their parents' curio store Keep it Weird holds more mysteries than they could have ever imagined.
This opens with Max and Melody on their way home from school worried about their midterms grades and how their parents might react. But that's the least of their concerns when a loud noise in the middle of the night have them racing downstairs. But what they see is unbelievable. They see their parents Arthur and Ellen trying to fight off these strange creatures. Things happened so quickly that before they knew it their parents had been taken away by those creatures leaving Melody and Max to try to fight off the rest of them.
Just when they thought they would be next, their mysterious Uncle Roland showed up. But more trouble continues when they are all given an ultimatum by a ghostly creature to deliver her a certain artifact or they will never see their parents again. The creature gave them a time limit before she disappeared.
Their uncle leaves to try to retrieve the artifact but he quickly returns injured and leaves it up to Max and Melody to do it.
For the first issue, this was fast paced and intriguing and very interesting. There was so much that Max and Melody (and the reader) don't know about what's going on and I can't wait to read the next issue to see what's going to happen next.
The artworks is good too, I like how it fits each scene from being bright and colorful to being dark and dramatic. This was a good first issue.
