Love the finished comic. Ashton will be thrilled with his book. Can’t wait until Christmas. The staff worked with me the whole time. ( changed words, pictures and sequences). All the personal information I gave was in the book. I am considering having one made for my friends 80 birthday. You demonstrated that comic books are not just for the young.
My son in law was truly surprised to be a comic book star. The graphics are great, the story is fun and he can't wait to read it with his daughter
The images are fantastic, the quality of the pages and the cover-binding are first rate. I couldn't be more pleased.
The comic delivered as promised. It was beautiful.
The graphics are amazing, and the customer service is top notch. My only concern is that the stories seem hard to understand. I mean...a huge jellyfish that sucks the colors out of the beach? The claw machine that goes rogue is better. But you guys have a winner. He loved seeing himself in the story.
I'm Christmas shopping, and after getting the first comic book about my best friend and her family, I am absolutely in love with this idea! I’ll definitely be ordering one for every member of my family. These are such a fun and unique gift, and the quality is excellent! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Such a creative way to make a gift truly personal and memorable!
What an unusual gift for my 80+ y.o. husband. He got QUITE a laugh reading it!
The book arrived and is packed in a box that is being shipped to another state. I am positive that he will Laugh and enjoy reading it! I am amazed at how awesome it looks!
I'm saving to give as a Christmas gift. Can't wait!
I was duly impressed with the detailed fun story with the likeness of both Christopher and our dog, Henry.
The book came out great. The company works well with there customers to ensure you are satisfied.
The likeness of her is perfect and her pet did a really good job with the story. She hasn't seen it yet but she's gonna love it. We know it thank you very much.-the perfect gift
I get him a personalized book every year and this is a gift for Christmas. I know he'll love it! Thank you!!
Love it! Fun story and the graphics were great. Can't wait to give it as a gift.
LOL....this was the first one I had you make and because it was so good, I ordered 2 more for others! Always looking for something different to give on his birthday.......perfect!
Its an 80th birthday gift so he didnt get it yet but I am sure he will think its a crazy good idea. The likenesses of us are spot on!
Its a Christmas gift that I am sure the family will love......'I do'! Nice job!
What DO you get a 17 yr old? this is so fun and silly. I think he will secretly cherish it.
I loved it, waiting for Christmas to give. Fantastic gift.
It’s a birthday present. December 26. They won’t see it till then but I am very impressed! Good job. Need to order another including their daughter!
Wording seemed jumbled during reading. great colors in the book
This is a Christmas present, so she won't see it till then. I loved it, especially the end where they put monster in bin. Somewhat confusing getting him there, but wonderfully creative. Thanks so much. Best unique present ever!
Giving to them at Christmas so I can’t say how they liked it, but I think it is so cool! I think they will Love it!
Book arrived monday when l was not home and left on my front stoop which is not covered and it had rained before l got home. Item too big to fit in mailbox. So packaging got wet. You may want to consider wrapping books in plastic to protect them from being damaged from the weather like mine. Item was too large to fit in mailbox and therefore was exposed to the weather. If I knew exactly when it was to be delivered I may have been able to be at home when it was to be delivered. Sealing the books in a sealable plastic sleeve inside the cardboard packaging would be a good idea for future shipments.
The one complaint that Beej had about the comic wasn't the comic itself, it was the binding. The images were centered on the sheets of paper, but once it was bound, you couldn't see all the way to the left edge of the printed area without prying the book almost flat. At that point, the pages started pulling out of the glue. Her suggestion is that you print the pages with a wider left-hand margin for the binding, so you don't have to damage the binding in order to see the entirety of the images. Beyond that, she is *very* happy with the quality of the paper and the printing itself. I am very happy with how responsive you have been to the concerns I had during the creation of this project. And Beej and Von both love being superheroes, and having their two beloved cats help them save the world! My only other complaint is that the AI you are using doesn't appear to have American English as it's native language. The English sentences are sometimes awkward, and difficult to understand. Training it in natural English will be a long-term project, which is why I didn't mention it before. We're happy with the comic as it is, and if you can get the AI to speak natural English, I'd be interested in buying another one, where *I* am a superhero!
This was a birthday gift for my son-in-law, who is not easy to buy for. He was extremely surprised, but seemed to enjoy it. The drawing representations were accurate and the story was fun.
It all came together great
Beautiful illustrations and the little extra touches of adding animals to help the characters solve the mystery and join the battles against the bad guys! So appreciated our hero winning using his intelligence rather than violence. Sooo good! Highly recommend for any family or children. LOVE!
The comic was for my grandson… his little brother was investigating and battling right along with him. Really loved how the characters smiled at each other when they did something smart or brave. Great teamwork, super job capturing the love between siblings!
The best comics EVER for kids! Loved being able to add the personalized character phrases and especially loved how the secondary character also got to play a big role!
They loved it, especially the personal touches. It was fun.
I’m giving the book as a Christmas gift. I know they’ll love it. It’s different, fun and a unique gift.
We are giving it as a gift but it looks really great! I know they will both love it!!!
I know he will love it. His 50th is Friday.
This is for a Christmas gift, but I wanted to give it to my husband the moment it arrived. I almost did, but he begged me to save it for Christmas, lol. It's PUUURRRRfect! Thank you so much! This will be the hit of the holiday season!
Would have liked to include other pets even at an additional charge; but all good. Her boxing day gift this year!
The squirrel not best animal to have. An owl, hummingbird or hound dog named Rufus and poodle terrier named Zane would've been better. The monster to be a miltant sea creature from the swamp after a military experiment gone wrong for back drop and Preserve to just be Preserve to name their territory. They laughed when Mr Hollywoods pony tail and one earring was temporarily restored and Natalies powers and quick thinking for solution . The depiction of their personalities was spot on and how they interact with each other. It was a great Anniversary gift!
Don't know because its for Christmas! My son and wife save comics and they'll love it, its perfect I never know what to get them, thank you. Maybe add a fake bar code and price to cover so it looks on the outside like a real comic book. Inside is great.
They haven't seen it yet it's a Christmas gift but I love it
These are Christmas gifts so have not been delivered to the recipient. But I, the grandmother, am completely pleased and amazed by the comic books! I love them!!
Loved the artwork and enjoyed Ron and Kaylyn’s antics! They will too on their upcoming birthdays!
Fantastic! It’s supposed to be a Christmas present but I don’t think I can wait to share it! I love it
Originally I did not receive the comic. I contacted Nick at Bookva and he was amazing help. Somehow the address was not listed properly and Nick had a new one made and sent to me. My husband loved the comic and I would absolutely suggest this company! Thanks again
Absolutely great artwork and story! Super super happy. This company personally solved a problem I had with an order and they fixed it completely. Super impressed.
Absolutely Love It!
The kids Loved the way they looked! And they were happy to see their dog in so much of the story
The likeness of my granddaughter was amazing. The artwork was cool, and the story perfect for a 6-year-old. The quality of the cover and paper was also great. Can't wait to see her face when I give it to her. I'm getting ready to order another one.
Great comic! It’s going to make my grandson exceptionally proud when he gets it for Christmas.
My wife and I read the book when it arrived and it was fun. Great graphics and storyline. It is a Christmas gift so it is safely put away but we are sure my daughter and her new husband will love it.
Both books are beautiful , sturdy, funny, colorful.
I loved the story and how it included my grandson and members of his family. I like how it made my Grandson the hero. I just wish it put his name on the cover with the title. Archie and the Great Lakeside Vanishing Act.
The photos are accurate and the story is creative. We enjoyed the story cover to cover.
I LOVED it. It is a gift for my Godson and I haven't given to him yet
I love everything in this book
The characters were spot on, my son even noticed a hidden song( blue eyes crying in the rain) in one of the pictures. The last page with Gibson wagging his tail was perfect. Will order again soon!!!
It exceeded my expectations. High quality paper and ink. Cute story. My husband laughed at the cleverly placed common phrase he often uses.
It was when Roger spillet( poured out the popcorn). They really liked that the people in the comic really looked and acted like them. I’m going to order one for the rest of my family.
OMG, he loved them !! Especially with the mustang in it and his is red too.
I really enjoyed it and so did he. I wish it was a little more mature for his age, but overall it was a great purchase
Absolutely beautiful
The entire thing is funny and cool. Love it all. It is so cool to see the pets as part of the story, giving it even more meaning to the person I am gifting it to.
The only thing I thought was off is that in the capybara comic there was a picture of a dog in the guide they were following. It should’ve been the capybara also.
The characters were spot on, especially the dog! This is a Christmas gift and I can't wait to give it. I know it will be a big hit. She's an event planner and you got the concept just right.
Great color and size of the book.
The comic book was a big hit. The only thing I would have changed is that there is a very prominent tower in Provincetown; The Pilgrim Tower; which you can see from anywhere in town. It would have been nice to see it in the pictures. Other than that the book is way Cool. Real vibrant colors too.
It was silly and fun! It got a lot of personalized info included in the story about the area we live and it gave it that more thoughtful feeling! Great gift!
The book was very detailed and good story.
It was a very enjoyable read. That comic book really made my day.
Jay was really amazed and surprised to receive the book. He loves it.
My son loved the book!
The graphics are beautiful.
