  With the consistency of the art throughout Neverlanders, readers may be surprised to realize that Sommariva is partnered with three different colorists throughout the book.  Each colorist adds tremendous talent that takes the art to the next level.  With each new setting comes a new color palette.  The cool greys and blues of a city subway station give way to a warmer, cozy feel as we see the characters junkyard home.  And all that's before being blasted off to the lush, vibrant greens of Neverland and the dark, ominous, and imposing colors of the pirates' floating city.

  I really appreciate that this isn’t a retelling of the original, but rather a full reimagining and more of a sequel than trying to take place during the iconic story. Taylor takes his own liberties but still captures the whimsy of the original tale. Tink is constantly cussing (all censored), which is reminiscent of her original role in the book, but she's also a high-spirited fighter with a tiny, sharp sword. Taylor also provides an explanation for Neverland's magic and the reason children don't age on the island. The original tale focuses more on whimsy and make-believe, so it doesn't have many explanations. Some authors try to explain too much, which only serves to complicate the story. Taylor doesn't make this mistake, and rather adds a few more elements of magic that don't have explanations, and the story doesn't suffer for it. Read Full Review
