I wasn't a huge fan of the books as a child, so I don't know if people who are a bit more invested in them would see this comic series as a travesty, but for my money, it was fresh and fun, and well worth a read.ĭisclaimer: I was given a complimentary e-galley of this book by Diamond Book Distributors, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. Nancy Drew is seventeen and good at everything.ESPECIALLY solving crimes. Nancy Drew: The Palace of Wisdom collects issues 1- 5 of the series. This series brings a new love interest for Nancy, too, in the form of Pete, the half black, half Mexican boy who gets sucked into helping solve the mystery. Also, like Jem, this series features a lesbian relationship, between George (now with a cool new haircut) and her girlfriend Dannika. It features characters with a range of body types, as Jem does. The adventures of young investigator Nancy Drew have delighted young adult readers for generations, but should she remain timeless. I enjoyed the art, which largely avoids unnecessarily sexualising teenagers (with the exception of some of the cover art and Nancy's Halloween costume, which is fairly mild as far as these things go).
