Comic #10

I'm sitting here in my kitchen (at home... I came back for a week) making Jello (why? Cause I want some) and I was thinking about the cool new comic I got today, and how I'm really glad I avoided any spoilers before I actually got it in my hands and read it. So I thought I'd type up a quick review.

 

Minor spoiler alert, BTW.

 

Artwork: Well, it's the basic sayger artwork, but some of the Mahri are particularly well done... I especially like the color. Plus, we see more Matoran, Titans (Gadunka's entrances is quite cool to view), and other undersea stuff. One problem was alot of artwork consisted of red explosions of firepower or Cordak blasts. Almost too much.

 

Story: Basic is enough to describe it. My experience with the comics this year have been that they tell the story from the books, maybe adding a tiny bit more but covering the basics and giving us a visual interpretation. What i can say here is, the story was pretty good in the comic, so once all the dialouge and other details are added in when the book comes around, it'll be great. I like how my favorite Barakki takes stage, and the battle with Gadunka is very cool. The whole ending feels a bit anticlimatic, though.

 

Overall: Well, not one of the greatest or one of my favorite comics, but it does a nice, quick job of getting the story told, while still following a few choice characters. Note: Nuparu is seen in the background, but I don't believe he has any lines. Pity. If it's done anything at all, it's got me phyced about Bionicle Legends 8.

 

And for one of my preditions...

So what flavour Jello was it? :P

 

 

 

You know, I think this comic is quite good compared to some others, which were either uneventful or just repeated book-based events. This seems to bridge the gap between Bionicle Legends#7 and Bionicle Legends#8, which is interesting.

Lime. :P

 

I'm guessing it'll be mostly retold in Bionicle Legends 8, 'cause Comic 4 came out before Bionicle Legends 5, but contained pretty much the same info. So instead of having the comic repeat the book, the comic came first, and the book elaborated on it.

 

And tomorrow morning, I'm having a fruity but too sugary breakfast. :P

Jello is awesome :)

 

It's a shame you can't get the comics in Australia, but I have to wait ten years for BIONICLE.com to add them, or search the web for a scan of them :( Good thing Shine posted them nearly straight away :)
