review 1: I was rather surprised that I had been avoiding these series of graphic novels. I suppose I thought nothing could be better than the original books, but instead I found myself crying all over again at the kind of crap that Card throws at my favorite characters. Poor Ender! Poor Bean! Bad author! And yet I understand why he did all of that and more. The illustrations were top notch and I really got into it, despite the somewhat hurried scenes, what else can you expect from a comic? It was really nice to give myself a fully emotional return to both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. I'm looking forward to reading the Speaker for the Dead installment, as well.
review 2: You should know going into this book that unlike the Formic Wars comic, this one is not an extens... moreion of the story by an actual adaptation or the original. Therefore, it is a giant spoiler if you haven't read the original. And it spoils the end!!!!!!!! So beware. As a graphic novel, it was solid. I think I even liked Command School more than Battle School. The cells seemed a bit more gritty, while still being written for the middle-young adult crowd. Marvel really does a good job of converting beloved books into graphic novels. It just isn't as good as the original. I was a little prejudiced because some of the elements they cut out were missed, but overall they did a respectful, good job at Marvel. A job well done and onto the Bean series. less
