Goldie Vance Vol. 1

Nancy Drew meets Kim possible in this graphic novel featuring a fantastic queer WOC MC and fabulous illustrations in a retro 70’s theme that left me wanting more!I thought this was a really good first Volume to a series. It really set up the characters and the plot line wonderfully; I love how much this reminded me of Nancy drew and Kim possible. It left and nostalgic to my childhood days of binge watching both.The graphic novel is set from the POV of 16 year old Goldie who works by day as a valet, in a hotel her father manages and by night as a detective, solving crimes for the hotel. Goldie was delightful. She was so dedicated to her work and her crush on Diane was a highlight for me. She’s badass and I look forward to seeing how her character evolves in graphic novels to follow.The plot was good yet a little bizarre. Some of it was hard to believe but maybe that’s the adult in me; childhood Shan would have adored this. The art was amazing, all the characters were done really well and there was so much detail in the background.Overall, I loved this graphic novel and I look forward to continuing. My only issue was how quickly it ended. I felt it needed at least another issue to answer more questions. However we have some more volumes so my questions may be answered then.

I chose this rating because it was enjoyable and cute, however, I dont feel that I am necessarily the target audience for this graphic novel. But I will happily continue with he series

A really cute story, with a super diverse cast without being on the nose about it!And I love the art style so much!

Aahhhh. So cute! Mysteries, family, friends, queen rep, 80s vibes, cars! I'm so in. Also, I love the artwork.I need the next volumes like yesterday.

I hope they bring out vol2 on unlimitedI would do recommend reading this bookFunny and exiting and mystery

Good, distinct characters, great artwork and a well paced story combine to make this a very enjoyable read.Read the kindle version.
