![]() This time it could be the entire fairy community that comes crashing down. What isn’t occurring for the first time is Artemis endangering others through his own self-confidence. Such a situation is introduced when a life needs to be saved after Artemis has been outwitted, and it’s a heavily emotional scene to be throwing into the story that early, needing Rigano to show Artemis as vulnerable for the first time. A clever aspect of the plots is that it’s not concealed what Artemis is, and how his moral compass is inverted, but Fowler and Donkin place him in situations where his better nature has to emerge, because just being bad won’t work. Where Artemis is very much ahead of the game is that he’s dealt with the hidden fairy and goblin cultures that are just myths to most of humanity, and has built a grudging relationship with fairy police officer Holly Short. Having rescued a father believed dead, the concern is that once he fully recovers, Artemis will be kept on a shorter leash, unable to indulge in criminal activities. Author Eoin Colfer takes a hand in the process, with Andrew Donkin also involved in the writing, while Giovanni Rigano ensures visual continuity.Ī concise three opening pages bring us up to date on the past activities of teenage criminal genius Artemis Fowl from Aretemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel and The Arctic Incident. The third Artemis Fowl novel makes another smooth transition to the graphic novel format, the same creative team in place. ![]()
