This is unfortunate.
For the fans I can see them as divided because comic tries too hard to bring that look and feel of the game itself (especially with Vega interrupting so often). For comic media this can look rather weird - I would appreciate if they took this the other way around and used approach more suited to comic, with less intricacies when it comes to showing various internal cybernetic workings and more when it comes to the atmosphere and environment. I mean game itself is visually breathtaking even today. Pure joy for the eyes.
At last we come to art. I have to say it is mixed bag for me. Art style is what you might call European/West Manga. As a mix of standard European/West comic and Manga it ends up on [again that word] weird side, characters too lanky and pointy to a point [aha!] that in some parts chin and rest of face seem to have decided to part their ways. That being said other elements are truly well done - shading, color, panels and details. I just wish it was more in line with games art and beautiful covers.
In summary interesting read that puts Jensen relation with his team in context. Unfortunately story seems to be rushed and it affects the overall experience. If you played the games you will not learn anything new and if you did not you will be left scratching your head and saying what was this?
Theme is interesting (especially in light of events of last two years) but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. If you are into dystopian future it is recommended, but keep in mind story might require additional lore to be fully appreciated.… (more)
