While her style remains enjoyable in its highly stylized look, as it was for "Emma", it's far more consistent than what we have seen before. Lee's art is even better in this series than her gorgeous work on "Emma".
This issue is also one of the more text heavy in recent memory, which when you're with an unlikeable character can be a bit of a chore, but it's hard to hold any of that against Butler. "Northanger Abbey" suffers a bit, especially in this issue, by spending a lot of time with a thoroughly unlikable character, but that's an unfortunate by-product of adapting existing material Butler handles it as well as she possibly can. Butler is true to the material but has, as usual, found the best way to boil these novels down to their essence and get them on the page faithfully, character voices and plotlines beautifully intact. These are very traditional adaptations, so don't expect a lot of creative license.
