The comic of the movie of the novel? Really?? This seems spectacularly pointless. Sure, do a comic of the original novel and unleash the visual imagination of Frank Herbert in a way that can't be captured by another medium. (And I believe there are some comics directly based on the novel.) But why try to capture the visual imagination of a film of a novel on the page? It seems pointless—and once you read it, you realize it is pointless. This vastly accelerated set of highlights with art show more that essentially copies film stills gives you little sense of the grandeur of either film or novel. show less

YESSS. Wonder Woman is drawn strong, statuesque, and even her fibbie suits can't quite conceal her defined muscles. I was wary that getting Picoult to write a comic about a lady superhero was a marketing gimmick, and perhaps it was. I don't much care why they got Picoult to write this trade; I'm just glad we got a series of WW in which her morality, her strength, and her relationship with the Amazons took precedence over her love life or the latest godawful title-spanning "epic" crisis. Let show more WW stand on her own!

The plot itself is a bit fuzzy (though really, no worse than what I read in most titles), but the dialog is funny and realistic, the art is great and dynamic, and the characterization coherent and interesting. Well worth a read. show less

These four issues wer a fun and different look at the Star Wars Universe. It took a simple idea. What would happen if Luke 'missed' or something else went wrong so that the Death Star didn't blow up? And then it goes from there.

It was interesting to see what the author chose to change and what to keep the same. I liked what they did with the Yoda part and I was very surprised that I liked the Leia story too.

I will say that I didn't love how fast it all came together at the end, but, other show more than that it was a fun read. show less

Who knew Jodi Picoult could write graphic novels? I think she did a pretty good job of it too. The plot was well thought out and the connection you make with the characters is deep enough to want to know more and read the next book in the series.
