Some characters, like Amos and Bast, were involved in several scenes where a big bad monster is about to kill the gang and Amos/Bast/whoever says something along the lines of "go on without me- I've got this!" and then gets into a fight that will very likely get him/her killed. One annoying aspect of the plot I was reminded of is the way side characters are always sacrificing themselves to allow Sadie and Carter to go on with their quest. I love love love Anubis but have to keep reminding myself that Sadie is twelve! Considering that I feel so creepy when I ship her with anyone! However because of the necessary cuts I would recommend the graphic novel only to those seeking to reread the series if you've never read the Kane Chronicles the written version is a better way to start and will make you laugh like crazy. The graphic novel's story left out much of the fluff and humor of the written version, which I understand was a necessary evil to keep the graphic version as short and condensed as it was.

Great art! Sadie's expressions were the perfect mix of apathy and sarcasm.
