Nico Bravo and the Hound of Hades

Nico Bravo is a fun story about a young staff member of a supply shop trying to stop a monster hunter, a descendent of Beowulf, from killing Cerberus. While I'm torn between liking and not liking the artwork, I'm totally a fan of the story. And honestly, this is just me being super picky about artwork when I have no right to be.

Nico is a great character, I loved the inclusion of a Unicorn war veteran who fought in a war no one else believes in, and all the mythical references were great fun. I liked Eowulf and thought it was cool our monster hunter was a girl ready for adventure.

I love how the mythical people and creatures are portrayed. There are a lot of myths brought up. While the main focus here is Greek because of Cerberus & Hades, there is mention of many others and not all Western. I hope if this truly is a series that we'll see inclusion of even more non-Western mythical people and creatures.

This book is goofy fun even if I wasn't always on board with the dimensional traveling and such. I do hope this is a series.
