Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin #1

I got into reading Warrior Cats in 6th grade in 2010 when I found the Graystripe manga. Never reading a book prior or knowing anything about this series. The art, characters, and story pulled me in. That book and Graystripe have been my favorite since, I read every Warrior’s manga and book after that. To this day I’m beginning to slowly grow my Warrior Cat’s collection to show my support and love for this series.I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure about this revival and new art style. Even going back to the first book/series. Will they cut out important parts? Will they change the characters I know and love? What if it isn’t like the first time baby Brooke found a cool looking cat manga in a middle school library. Reading it and being pulled into the world, becoming a warrior herself with how much she was pulled in. Fighting, healing, leading, and grieving each of them. Well….It pulled me back to that time and it was all new to me again. Erin Hunter chose the right people to revive the series with this adaptation. The more I read the more I slowed down because it was getting close to the end. I wanted more. More of this art and story, curious what was going to happen next. When I already know what to expect. There was a longing of wanting more and a dread for the end of this manga. I loved every second, minute, and hour this graphic novel has given me. I’m definitely pre-ordering the Yellowfang one next, Hardcover again as well. Because the art and details is amazing! I can’t describe the beauty in words just sitting here gushing at it. Also, I took a picture of a bonus page to show how much thought and love they put into this. There’s a bit more bonus pages but I’m not spoiling that.Buy this book and make it a hardcover, you’ll be reading this book over and over again. You’re gonna want a strong book to make it last longer 😅 I hope the artists do a signing soon cause I want them to sign this. They’re in Texas as well, so they won’t be too far for that. ❤️☺️Be it a long time reader or new, this is a great book for Warrior fans. Join the world and enjoy this amazing art-thrilling adventure.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It provided a clearer understanding of the events and settings, and I especially appreciated seeing the ThunderClan camp. The description of the camp often changes, so having a visual representation was really helpful. Another positive is that this graphic novel combines two books into one, which is great for quickly progressing through the first series. I'm particularly excited to see the next two series adapted into graphic novel form, although I doubt Long Shadows and Sunrise will be released anytime soon!That said, I really liked this graphic novel and am eagerly looking forward to the next one in April, featuring Yellowfang on the cover.However, there are a few drawbacks to mention. One issue I had was with the artwork. Firestar looks more like a pampered house cat than the strong, noble leader I envision. In other graphic novels, like A Thief in ThunderClan or Graystripe's Adventure, Firestar’s portrayal is more regal and fitting for a leader. But in this book, he just doesn’t even look like a warrior. It's not just him, though, it's all of the drawings. For example, the Yellowfang and Silverstream artwork highly dssappointed me. Yellowfang looks completely different, and I thought Silverstram would look a lot more... elegant.That said, I recognize that a lot of effort went into the illustrations, and while I miss the older art style, the new drawings do have their own charm and cuteness. I think the pros outnumber the cons in this book.

I got this for my 10yo on her bday back in March. She immediately read it and loved it and has talked about it all summer. I never read the series as a kid but I knew that she would definitely enjoy it. I finally sat down to read it and I have to say ITS SO GOOD! I had no idea what to expect. But the art is beautiful and the characters are so unique and fun to follow. The development throughout is thrilling and heartbreaking all at the same time. I kept having to stop and rush to my daughter to be like “I can’t believe this thing just happened!!” It’s been so nice sharing this with her. I’m about to start the 2nd one and I have the 3rd one preordered already.

I’ve been a fan of Warrior Cats for awhile. Nowadays though I don’t have much time to sit down and read full books so I prefer Graphic Novels. I was really excited when this was announced and I wasn’t dissapointed! The art is cute and the designs are pretty accurate. Was surprised by how thick the book was considering it’s a graphic novel adaptation [which are usually short summaries of the actual novel] but after reading I learned it covers both Book 1 and Book 2. I think my only complaint is it covers Book 1 really well but book 2 felt a little short or rushed. Overall though, I really enjoyed this and I highly recommend it to Warrior fans and Graphic Novel readers. It is by far the best comic adaptation we’ve gotten for this series. I look forward to the second Graphic Novel! :]

Great book and illustrations. It’s very fun to see the classic Warriors characters illustrated. Faithfully follows the original story of the first few books. Highly recommend for warriors fans and new readers alike.That said, even though it features cute cats, there is fighting and violence, so it might not be suitable for all audiences.

Amazing book! I recommend it any reader! I love how they made fireheart! Amazing design and great work! I will recommend this book o my mother.

Like all the fans I fall in love with the Warriors by the first series so the story is very dear to me but I dont see the necesitty of make a manga for it.

Amazing detail! I love the clans and the forest in the beginning! I can’t wait for more of the series!
