Belle: Beast Hunter, Volume 1 by Dave FranchiniMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was better then I thought it was going to be. I would have given it 3.5 stars but to was on the right side of good instead of ok to deserve a round up.
Like all the Zenescope titles the characters is as far away from original as possible. Belle is not exception. This is not the bookish, poor girl who everyone likes, this is a smart mouthed heiress, trained to take over the family business. The business just happens to be hunting beasts. However what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
The story is very action packed, and fast paced. The only problem is it is too fast paced to the point of the story being too rushed. I had keep flipping the page back to see if I missed a couple panels or the pages were stuck together. Sadly this was not the case they just moved on fire one chaotic event, to another chaotic event, to a flash back then back to the chaotic event. The action and artwork did make this an enjoyable read for me. Personally if this was an 8 issue series to have more space for the story this would have been perfect. However compressing everything into 6 issues hurt the story. Though I enjoyed it and want to see what happens next.
