Annja Creed is a world-traveling archeologist who also happens to be the heir to Joan of Arc's mystic sword. In this debut story, Annja's drive to explore unrecorded, shadowy history leads her to Virginia City in search of a rumored manuscript that could change the public perception of Mark Twain forever. But a very powerful mystery man doesn't want anyone to find the truth, and will stop at nothing - not even murder - to keep Annja away from the answers she seeks.

The story was OK, but there was a lot of review information. Due to the difference in media possibly attracting new readers, this is to be expected.

The artwork is pretty well done, albeit a little too cartoonish for my taste. Unless you haven't read other books in the series, or are a die-hard comic book fan, I'd stick to the 'regular' books as I find the stories have more depth. If you want to see what this whole 'Rogue Angel' series is about, this is a good place for a quick introduction.

I hope they keep making more of these! I found the Rogue Angel series by Alex Archer this summer and read every one of them within a month. "Teller of Tall Tales" makes an excellent addition. Although you can tell the different writing style I think that Barbara Randall-Kesel does the story justice. It is great that the format is such that it doesn't matter in which order you read them after the first book. I have read them in order though and you can pick up on small things that carry over. If you enjoy a good modern adventure that is a quick read, make sure and pick these up.

This review is from: Rogue Angel: Teller of Tall Tales (Rogue Angel (Unnumbered)) (Paperback)

Annja Creed is a part-time archeologist, part-time tv host of Chasing History's Monsters, and full-time adventurer.

When Annja visits an old friend in the former mining town of Virginia City, she is asked to assist with a dig involving Samuel Clemens' work. There is a rumor that the Clemens may have stolen a story from another man. But there are some who are against their exposing what could be an incredible discovery. And soon, Annja and her friend Rashmi find themselves fighting for their lives.

With plenty of danger, mystery, and betrayal, Annja should be used to it all by now. But when her friend Rashmi gets involved over her head, Annja takes it personal. Wonderfully rendered, with creative visuals and a fun story, I hope Rogue Angel continues in this comic format. IDW Publishing delivers a fantastic new media form for Rogue Angel, with a great balance of visual and story.

Complete with early concept art and the stunning Tim Bradstreet cover art, Rogue Angel and comic fans alike should pick up this exciting graphic novel.
