A collection of four all-new strange stories from the sleepy town of Gravity Falls in one original New York Times bestselling graphic novel. Written by Alex Hirsch. As told by Shmebulock.
The first story, Face It, is about Pacifica summoning a monster who steals Mabel’s face. The second story, Comix Up, is about Stan getting trapped in a world of comics. In Don’t Dimension It, Mabel gets pulled into a multi-verse filled with many different Mabels. And in Pines Brothers: The Jersey Devil’s in the Details, a young Stan and Ford attempt to catch a supernatural jewel thief.
Illustrated by Asaf Hanuka, Dana Terrace, Ian Worrel, Jacob Chabot, Jim Campbell, Joe Pitt, Kyle Smeallie, Meredith Gran, Mike Holmes, Priscilla Tang, Serina Hernandez, Stephanie Ramirez, and Valerie Halla.

I was a late comer to the animated show GRAVITY FALLS. I was introduced to it by my brother. The show was one of the best written television shows I have ever watched. There were so many layers and everything fit together so well. Like so many others, I came to love the show and the characters that were on it. Unlike many series, GRAVITY FALLS ended after it had told the story it came to tell (after only two seasons). It is possible that the show might be revisited at some point (Dipper’s letter does say see you next summer), there are no new episodes of the series right now or any time on the near horizon. However, fans of the show do have a few more stories with the release of GRAVITY FALLS: LOST LEGENDS.
GRAVITY FALLS: LOST LEGENDS contains four new Gravity Falls adventures told by Shmebulock. It turns out that Shmebulock isn’t the “slow” gnome everyone thinks. He’s actually very intelligent but was cursed by an evil wizard a long time ago to only speak his name, but every 1,000 years he gets a chance to speak normally again for one night. This is the night and Shmebulock shares it with the reader.
The four stories are:
“Face It” – Dipper and Pacifica Northwest team up together after Pacifica unleashes a creature called Mr. What’s-His-Face steals Mabel’s face.
“Comix Up” – The Pines family and friends literally jump into the pages of a comic book to save Grunkle Stan.
“Don’t Dimension It” – Set after Weirdmageddon, but before Dipper and Mabel return home, this story finds Mabel sucked into the multiverse where she learns an important lesson about herself.
“Pines Bros. Mystery” – This story is about Stan and Ford’s first adventure as kids when they first met a mythological/supernatural creature. There are another set of twins in the story who are the Pine’s rivals who are parodies of the Hardy Boys.
Of the four stories, I really don’t have a favorite because they are all good in their own right. “Face It” is another classic Gravity Falls adventure and is the story most like an episode (watching the special DVD that comes with the Gravity Falls DVD boxset, I believe this story was an episode that was planned, but just never made it to the show). The story also hints at a possible romance between Pacifica and Dipper. “Comix Up” is a great story that features over half-a-dozen animation styles. “Don’t Dimension It” is really neat because it’s a story set right before Dipper and Mabel return home and could be foreshadowing of adventures to come. Lastly, I love the “Pines Bros. Mystery” because it’s a story that shows how much Stan and Ford really did care for each other growing up and why Stan risked so much to save his brother.
GRAVITY FALLS: LOST LEGENDS is a must have for any fan of Gravity Falls, but as a graphic novel, it’s not too bad as a stand alone piece.

I thought it was a good book to be honest it was delivered in perfect condition and it came early and it wasn’t hard to read and it’s really hard to find gravity falls media now so I’m really happy that I found this my favourite one was the dipper and pacifica

|Intro
I think this book is good, I also noticed that in Part 3: “Don’t Dimension It” The graphics were diffrent.
|Theories and Plot rips
·Dipper went home after the TV Show Episode: Weirdmaggeden 3: Take Back The Falls, and celebrated his and Mabel’s 13th birthday, in part 1: Face It, Mabel jokes that the power of the journals can only be weilded by Dipper. She says it as: “Yeah, their unholy power can only be weilded by a sweaty twelve year year old in shorts” (Dipper never wears pants, or showers) as a refrence to Dipper. All evidence from the TV show says that Dipper is now 13, he leaves Gravity Falls with Mabel.
·In “Don’t Dimension It” Grunkle Ford is there, and the intro says “Weirdmeggedon: The Afterweirdness” means that Weirdmaggon recenty happened, but after Weirdmaggedon, the twins went home, so it is impossible for it to have happened.

Even though it’s on a piece of paper instead of a screen and has a table of contents instead of a list of episodes, Gravity Falls: Lost Legends is exactly like the TV Show! It has coded messages and beautiful illustrations that really bring the book to life! I totally recommend this book for any Gravity Falls fan out there; it is obvious how much effort was put into this complex book!

It’s more a comic book than the journal of book 2 fyi

Pros: fun stories, good artwork
Cons:
Schmebulock the gnome narrates four new stories of the Pines family in this graphic novel based on the TV show. In “Face It” Pacifica wants magical aid removing a wrinkle, “Comix Up” sees Stan trapped inside a comic book, “Don’t Dimension It” has Mabel lost in the multiverse, and “Pines Bros Mystery” is an adventure from when Stan and Ford were kids.
There are new journal pages and puzzles to solve, and the stories fit in nicely with the show. Be sure you’ve seen both seasons as one of the stories may be spoilery otherwise. There’s little character introduction, so if you haven’t seen the show you won’t know who anyone is or why they’re doing what they’re doing.
The artwork matches that of the show, though in some panels Ford and Stan’s heads are a bit too large for the bodies they’ve got.
Overall it’s a fun book with some cute additional stories.
