Maithili and the Minotaur: Web of Woe (Book 1 in an Outlandish Graphic Novel Series)

My middle grader found it unexpectedly good. I found it imaginative and original, and great illustrations, like the Hilda series and over the garden wall. love it

Maithili and Minotaur is an amazing beginning into an epic storyline. While dealing with the all important theme of acceptance, the book is consistently entertaining. And the artwork by Rajiv Eipe is incredible.Maithili is the Indian protagonist in the comic world which we were all waiting for. This book will be enjoyed by all age group. Dont miss this one.. ❤

I could not stop smiling as I turned the pages of Maithili and the Minotaur – Web of Woe, the first in an Outlandish Graphic Novel Series, and outlandish it is to the very core.Maithili is an outcast from the human world, and she doesn’t know why. She also cannot fit in at school. No monster one will speak with her, except for the Minotaur. Everyone apparently seems to be hiding something from Maithili (which is sort of revealed in the book but not quite), till an incident occurs that changes the course of the story.This comic/graphic novel series is so exciting and also very real when it touches upon the topics of alienation, loneliness, and what it means to be different. The graphics by Rajiv Eipe are minimal initially and later they get more colourful, and interesting.Maithili and the Minotaur is a wholesome read – and I recommend everyone read it, irrespective of age. It is a chaotic journey, and the illustrations do justice to it. It is about monsters and humans living together (and why are they labelled to begin with?) and that in itself is a strong message. Do check it out.

Worth the price. Quite captivating illustration

My daughter loves the two books..she cant wait for the dolls of despair

A brilliant book targeted to attract people of all ages

This is my first time reading an Indian graphic novel and the cozy artsyle is so heartwarming. Story is very simple and sweet but not quite a tale that stands out. If you are beginning your graphic novel/comic book collection, this is a good place to start
