I've only read a few graphic novels before and am trying to get into them more. The Banks had great illustrations but the story felt stilted for me. A lot of the dialogue felt unrealistic or melodramatic. Plus, there could have been more story and character development and less repetitive bickering.

The biggest question mark for me was why the main character Celia was doing any of this in the first place... She decides to become a thief and put her entire family in danger even though she makes a decent living and has no idea about the villain's identity until later on. She risks her relationship with her boyfriend (who is hopelessly dramatic), which seems to be the strongest relationship she has.
