Product Description

Review

"Lots of different flavours in there -- it's a semi-gothic funny-sweet school story with mysteries and robots and so forth but I kept finding myself reminded of the early days of reading Bone. Nice stuff." --Neil Gaiman, creator of Sandman

Product Description

Meet Antimony Carver- a precocious and preternaturally self-possessed young girl, studying at gloomy Gunnerkrigg Court a very British boarding school, albeit one which includes robots, body-snatching demons, forest gods, and the odd mythical creature! Now follow Antimony through her orientation year at Gunnerkrigg Court: the people she meets, the strange things that happen, and the things she causes to happen as she and her new best friend, Kat, unravel the mysteries of the Court and deal with the everyday trials of growing up. The popular and multiple award-winning webcomic by British writer Tom Siddell is collected in print for the first time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Odd, you might say. but worthy., 12 Sep 2009

By	Lloyd Ash Pyne "ashpyne" (UK) - See all my reviews

Gunnerkrigg Court is a strange place. Odd, you might say, with odd things going on, but you can quickly see why Neil Gaiman touts this as his favourite webcomic.

Antimony's new school is no ordinary place and she soon finds herself in the middle of some rather peculiar goings-on. Stuff happening. Things afoot. Robots. Shadows. Chums. And stuffed toys. Curious stirrings from the forbidden forest across the very large chasm betwixt it and the school. And other weirdness within the Court itself. It's not all that you'd expect.

Classes are oddball, and the teachers mysterious. There seems to be something going on with the robots, but what it is, who can say? There are a whole bunch of mysteries that surround the school and Antimony Carver has found herself amidst it all. With the hint of adventure dogging your footsteps it's really only a matter of time before the next curiosity awakes.

Nice art. Funny sometimes. Intelligently written. Worthy of your time and investment. It's a little dark and definitely not just for kids, though the art at first glance would suggest this, with its bold colours and lines. There's a good use of digital effects too, sometimes subtle, which enhance the already quality imagery, with one section in black and white and I can't think how better it could have been done.

Antimony Carver has friends and seems to make them easily by simply being willing to help out. Coupled with her seeming indifferent general demeanour, it's a curious but welcome mix because it's artfully handled. Her friends and acquaintances complement her well with their own particular quirks. She even seems to wow over a demon who has possessed her stuffed toy.

All in all an intrepid and mysterious adventure well worthy of your time and investment. But I believe I've said that already.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, 20 April 2009

By	Mr. Syed Shahrukh Hasan (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is basically a collection of the Gunnerkrigg Court webcomics from the Chapter One to Chapter Fourteen. Nothing extra. Literally! No commentary even. Just a few sketches at the end, and that's it. Having said that, I love the webcomic. Especially the one line comments Mr Siddell would write at the end of each strip. I was hoping that the book would be a bit more. But it is just a little collectors item for the hardcore fans. I still follow the webcomic updates regularly, but the contents of the book leaves something more to be desired. I hope the next one would have a bit more than just the next set of strips in print form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 16 April 2009

By	D. Callier "sledgecallier" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is always a question asked when buying printed copies of work freely available on the internet, and that is 'why bother'?

To be honest, with some prints of webcomics this is a valid question, but with this first edition of Gunnerkrigg Court you get beautifully printed, glossy pages, bound together in a hardback volume (and I would think this is fairly unique)that brings the whole thing to life and shows off a level of detail not readily available online.

It will be classed by some people as 'young adult' fiction and as such ignored, but then the same was said about the Harry Potter books, and they seemed to be fairly popular with all ages... :)

Fully recommended.
