Given that this is a book for kids, I didn't give it the full rating I would have as an adult book. The mischaracterization of nearly every character was insane. This book would have been better as its own original world rather than simply taking names of well known characters and having no other similarities to the source material. 

On the positive note, the art style is cute and had I been a lot younger without a vested interest in comics, it would have been a good story.
