Hex Vet Witches in Training eBook Sam Davies Reviews
- I wish this had been longer! I loved it
- Absolutely adorable and heartwarming, just like all of Sam’s work!
- I really wanted to like this graphic novel. It had a fun premise and looked cute, and I'm a sucker for anything involving magic and mythical creatures. And this isn't a BAD book at all. It's just... lacking in substance, I suppose. I found the art style didn't really match the subject matter, and the story leaves huge unanswered questions that I really feel should have been addressed in some manner.
"Hex Vet Witches In Training" follows two student witches -- the kindly Nan and the antisocial Clarion -- as they perform their duties at a veterinary clinic for witch's familiars and magical creatures. But when the head vet leaves the two of them in charge of the clinic for a day, disaster strikes in the form of a sneaky bugbear and a mysterious rabbit with eerie eyes. Soon the creatures of the clinic are breaking free and attacking both of them, and Nan and Clarion will need to rely on each other and on all their magical training to save the animals, the clinic... and each other.
The art style of this book is absolutely adorable... and in my opinion, therein lays some of the problem. It's a little TOO cutesy, with the overly stylized people and animals, the predominantly pink and pastel colors, and the uniform lineart not exactly fitting a story about magic and magical creatures. In a fantasy graphic novel I'm expecting a richer variety of colors, more attention to detail, and creatures that don't look like living stuffed animals. Maybe I'm just picky, but that's my opinion. (Also, is it just me or do some of the character designs feel like they're trying to ape "Steven Universe"?)
The story itself is cute and charming, and will certainly appeal to younger readers. The characters are delightful, and even the harsh-tempered Clarion has a sympathetic side. However, the story has some glaring holes in it. Much ado is made about Clarion's past, but no effort is made to examine it, and there are hints to greater mysteries going on that never get fully explored. Perhaps this is meant to be the first in a series, and the author/artist plans to address these in a later volume? Maybe... but in that case they'd BETTER get revisited, or a lot of readers are going to be disappointed. You can only dangle a carrot for so long...
Kids will enjoy this graphic novel, and it IS a cute and fun read. It just feels lacking in substance to me, and the art style doesn't really fit the subject matter. Sometimes things can be TOO cutesy, and this is a prime example of it. - I'm already in love with this quick comic. The writer and artist Sam Davies is a favorite of mine but this was such a nice surprise to find at my local bookstore. The story is suitable for all ages and the art is unique. Definitely worth a look.
- Using a simple but effective art style the creator tells a heartfelt story with colorful characters and creatures.
The comic is very well written with likable characters and an interesting premise. The conflicts the characters go through are fairly cliche and have an early 90’s Saturday morning cartoon feel. But the conflict seems to exist more as a foil to help establish the main protagonists personality rather than add to the plot; keeping the story simple while letting the characters shine.
All in all, a great little comic to brighten your day.
