review 1: Boy howdy, I love Jason. This story centers on a plucky little lady, Gwenny, looking for her father. He disappeared while looking for treasure on the titular Isle of 100,000 Graves. She finds a map in a bottle, finds a crew to take her there, and uses her crafty intelligence to get to the island. Gwinny reminds me of like Veronica Mars, if Veronica Mars was a terse, Scandinavian cat. Additionally, the school she finds on the island is super funny to me, but I don't want to spoil it.
review 2: A simple story about a clever girl who hires a pirate crew with the lure of map promising a massive, legendary treasure, in the hopes of finding her father whom went missing years before on an island occupied by career executioners-in-training. It was a strange story to re
... moread in that it got right to the point and made me wonder what kind of short tale I had gotten myself into, but it developed into quite a fun, cheeky read. And when I came to this line of dialog in the story,"A time-saver, to be sure, but... I don't know... When you start killing in batches, I wonder what remains of the nobility of our calling..."I knew I was reading something special. less

Loved-so much fun! It was a little sillier than some of Jason's past stories but it works.

My first graphic novel. Was a quick read, a little morbid, but funny.

Quirky and fun. Bizarre and macabre.
