I did not like Steve's character. He never took responsibility for anything he did, he ran away from conflict and refused to own up to his mistakes. While he may have learned a lesson and changed a bit at the end, I still feel his character was lacking. Manfried grew more in character, learning to interact well with other men (this was supposed to be a parallel between his and Steve's story, but I felt it did not connect as well as it could have). I enjoyed Manfried's story, his movement within the group of men, how he went from outsider to family, learned to share and groom and shake hands. I also wanted more of a story, the premise was good, the art fantastic, but overall the story was not deep enough. Could have seen more development in terms of Steve learning to be a better cat, to rely on others, to become an adult essentially. More meat in the narrative would have made this graphic novel that much better. It was such a quick read otherwise. A good start, but I am hoping the next in the series has more in terms of overarching story, as I know it will be beautifully drawn, coloured and have humour to spare.
