Review: Sense & Sensibility (Marvel Comic)

Sense & Sensibility by Nancy Butler
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Reading this so soon after the original novel means I'm ripe for comparing it adaptation-wise. And I'm pleased to say it holds up very well, with all the benefits of a visual medium. There are some very unique panels (my favorite being Mrs. Jennings as she starts to recall the scandal at John Dashwood's home) that really emphasize certain aspects of the novel (in that example, the force of gossip running rampant through the story), and it has the benefit of unique character designs. Often I find myself lost in movie adaptations due to characters looking incredibly similar, but the art style on display here makes every character unique and easy to recognize... even if it comes at the cost of Elinor's unfortunate forehead.
