Review of Emily and the Strangers by Rob Reger and Mariah Huehner, illustrated by Emily Ivie

I saw Emily and the Strangers at a comic book store and was intrigued.  I really like the art, and Emily is goth and reminiscent (in her look) of Wednesday from the Addam's Family.  Plus, there were black cats, and I'm a sucker for a story where the cat(s) become a character.  The story is pretty straight forward and simple, and Emily does keep having the same issue of adjusting to working with her new band members, but she does have a little bit of growth by the end.  What I thought was really interesting was at the end of the book was some information about the history of Emily the Strange, the original comic, with images of character designs before the artist got to the final designs.  I recommend this to people who are looking for a young quirky female protagonist who is the ultimate scientist, mysticist, and musician.  I'm definitely interested in reading the sequel!
