Colfer's third Artemis Fowl installment gets the graphic-novel treatment as amoral genius Artemis teams up again with fairy police captain Holly Short in a heist to retrieve a stolen computer that could reveal the fairies' existence. A larger trim size would have rendered the text and stylized character illustrations less inscrutable, but energetic panels and lively dialogue keep the presentation humming.
