Story 6:
Jack Frost starts out super slow. Girl transfers to new school, sees creepy guy she labels "Smirky," takes her seat, and all hell breaks loose. Her head comes off but she doesn't die. Cue first mystery that takes forever to be fully fleshed out. Literally half the story. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, however, this felt more like the author wanted to write a ton of action and didn't really bother fleshing out the story until he realized he'd written half a story that was basically going nowhere. While I felt that the ending came together ok, it was really rushed and felt thrown together.
Art 8:
I mostly enjoyed the art. The style wasn't exactly for me, but it was ok. The fight scenes, which took up a large portion of the story, seemed to mostly be large blocks of black and white blur. That may be because there was so much fighting that I started skimming over it to find story points, but either way, there's a lot of fighting and a lot of movement in the fights, so it does blur some.
Character 6:
All the characters were pretty one dimensional. The author seemed to try giving them more depth sometimes, but really only succeeded in making them act really out of character at inopportune times. The ending showed a lot of progress with a couple of the characters, but looking back on it, you can't really see how they got from point A to point B. Noh-A is really the only one to change at all, and her character growth was overall enjoyable.
Enjoyment 9:
I hold story and character growth in very high esteem, but I also really love insane characters beating the crap out of other insane characters in a supernatural setting of blood and death. It was a fun read, even if I wanted to rip my hair out sometimes trying to figure out WHAT exactly was going on with the plot. I don't feel like I wasted my time and if a sequel was ever released, I would totally jump on it. I want more of Amityville and the characters.
