Habían ganas de revisitar Gravity Falls y este recopilatorio de 4 historias no falla. Un tomo lleno de misterios y homenajes tanto a la serie como a la cultura pop. A destacar las historias de los comics y del Mabelverso. ( )

There is a story where the graphic novel switches styles several timez and it had me giggling like a doofus. Lots of cool ciphers as well. ( )

If you're a fan of the Gravity Falls cartoon, then you need to read this. It's four stories that all could be episodes--interesting, fun, and funny. I especially liked "Comix Up!" with all the different comic styles. ( )

An enjoyable enough TV show (which I watched last month for the first time) begets an enjoyable enough graphic novel in this media tie-in. Written by the series creator, it crams in a few last adventures in the closing days of Dipper and Mabel's summer stay at the Mystery Shack and provides a flashback to Stan Pines' childhood. The comic book parodies, the visit to Dimension Mab-3l and the grapple hook gag kept this from being just an okay two-star book. ( )

Welcome back to the weird, wonderful town of Gravity Falls for a collection of never-before-told tales! Follow Dipper and Pacifica as they go where no human has been permitted before (not that they were actually invited) in a quest to retrieve . . . Mabel’s stolen face. Or join the gang as they dive into the wonderful world of comics, breaking all genre boundaries (and the fourth wall) in search of Grunkle Stan. Watch in wonder as Mabel faces the challenges of dealing with none other than . . . herself? And enjoy a peek into the childhood adventures of the older Pines twins. Weirdest of all? The whole thing is narrated by none other than Gravity Falls’ own Shmebulock!

I enjoy this graphic novel so much! I’ve read Lost Legends three times so far, and it has yet to grow old. Because honestly? This book is basically the series, and when does that ever grow old? Seriously, these four stories are slated as tales that were just a bit too weird to make the cut for the cartoon . . . but I could totally see them being there. Not that I’m sad they ended up as a graphic novel instead, though. They’re perfect for this medium, especially the story where they go into graphic novels as part of the plot. It’s hugely fun to see the various styles on the page, going from old-school comics to manga to gritty contemporary stuff to superhero comics–plus the visual effect when they fall into the margins and cut through the pages. It’s great–probably my favorite story of this set. Throughout all four stories, we see the characters being very much themselves and in character. But we also get character growth, which is also amazing. At least two of these stories take place late in the series (one of them post-Weirdmageddon), and it shows. Pacifica begins to come into her own and make choices that aren’t totally based on her family’s approval. Mabel begins to realize how over-the-top and kind-of selfish she can be. Just generally the characters are fabulous and the stories are a lot of fun. Highly recommended to fans of the cartoon. ( )
