review 1: I started reading this and was into the first few stories because I remembered them from the original incarnation. As I kept reading, something was missing, as other reviewers mentioned - Bradbury's exposition and description. His words and language, not just dialogue, were missing. The novel resonates with me because there is so much said in those stories. The graphic novel tries to but doesn't quite leave the same impact. I did want to like this but unfortunately, I was not enamored and will most likely never pick up the graphic novel again.
review 2: The humor, senselessness, despair, and emptiness of a Martian future is well-conveyed in this strong adaptation. That said, the original is superior. The most stirring moment in this graphic novel was in fact ... morethe introduction, written in July 2011 by Mr. Bradbury himself. In a few short paragraphs, Bradbury brought forth all his narrative genius and reminded me why I fell in love with science-fiction as a teenage boy in rural Indiana. less
