Overrated as in a few short pages, Nancy Drew steals the comic in shimmering fashion and has been pulling the Hardy Bros strings all along. Theres a reason why she gets top billing, and the final pages featuring her along with Werner DellEderas versatile artwork and Anthony del Cols stylized and sometimes sassy writing definitely got me hooked on the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys series going forward. The comic kind of roasts the it would be hilarious if they wore Ed Hardy Bros, but also tells a dark, exciting mystery story in the vein of Veronica Mars, Brick, or a slightly less soapy Riverdale.

It's not an extraordinary comic book but, it serves its purpose and does what it's supposed to do. It's entertaining and interesting enough to make you want to see what happens next. Truth be told, not everything needs to be fast paced and in your face, sometimes just being different and well written is enough to warrant some praise. Read Full Review

While I don't have a lot in the way of nostalgia towards the original works and they're not something I can pickup and reread, I was curious to see how a new update would go. There are certainly obvious things being done here that we're seeing in other franchise of the same nature to try and modernize them and it's usually hit or miss. Based on this first installment and its potential I'm going to classify this one as a hit with the ability to be a really strong hit out of the park depending on how it all plays out. Anthony Del Col catches a good narrative voice for each of the boys and sets the stage well when it comes to the town while Werther Dell'Edera delivers a fantastic looking book that's rich in detail and tone that has the right edge of creepiness but also that sense of normalcy about it. I'm excited to see where the second installment goes as the cast expands and interactions grow. This is a book worth taking a shot with for something different and engaging. Read Full Review

A solid opening then for what promises to be an exciting mystery series, although it remains to be seen just how Miss Drews inclusion is going to affect the tone and style of the story, if at all. Definitely one to keep an eye on, regardless. Read Full Review

The first issue of the comic wasnt perfect, but showed a lot of promise. Mystery fans, fans of the original series, and fans of Hope Larson and Brittney Williamss Goldie Vance will likely enjoy Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys for its vintage charm, amped-up drama, and superb art. Read Full Review

I'm definitely in for the second issue to see where this goes. Read Full Review

All this said, and it's still not a bad comic book. It works as a comic, but it misses on two important aspects. It didn't feel or remind me of either book series, nor did it entertain me enough to make me want to come for more. Maybe if the approach had been more like Archie Horror or even Scooby Apocalypse and less creepy alien eyes Nancy Drew and the Boring Boys. Read Full Review

I was a big fan of both of these series growing up, so I'm looking forward to this take on these characters. Definitely an interesting setup, I'll be picking up #2.
