Kopekemaster Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 For a while I have thought that the Papercutz Bionicle graphic novels were just collections of the previously released Bionicle comics from the magazines.Recently I have started doubting that. Are they?And should I consider buying them (or, preferrably, is there a place to download them)?And are they where the pictures of the baterra and karzahni (the place, not the being) are from? I've been scouring my comics with no avail. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Crunchyn Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They should be. As for buying them, I'm not sure; I've been hearing stuff about how bad their binding(how they glued the spine of the book) is. The image of Baterra I think is from Bionicle 8:Legends of Bara MagnaKarzahni the location? Might be Makuta's Guide of the Universe, not sure.

Kopekemaster Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 *Checks through copy of Makuta's Guide* Nope, not there.They should be what? Collections of the comics, or originals?(Or, I suppose, worth me buying them.) Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Makuta of Time Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They are, but also they also previous released ones. I have a Volume one comic book, and it says Papercutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infrared Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The pictures of both the being Karzahni and his realm are from BIONICLE: World. It's also where images of many other locations, such as Artakha, Odina, and Destral originated.

Zestanor Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If you don't currently own all the comics, the Papercutz graphic novels are the way to go. The spine glue can be hit or miss; half of mine are perfect, and in the other half, the glue doesn't really do anything anymore. The books with the glue detached hold together surprisingly well though. Graphic novels 1-7 and 9 contain the original comics from years 2001 - 2009 almost verbatim. A few text boxes were reworded to fit the new format ('next issue' becomes 'next chapter'). GN 6 had a new comic GN 8 was comprised of entirely new comics. This is where the Baterra pictures come from. Unfortunately, the final two comics were going to be part of a 10th GN, which was never released. If nothing else, you should consider buying Graphic Novel 8 for the new comics. Quote Has following the story become too complex?

Kopekemaster Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 OK, cool. *puts Bionicle: World and GN 8 on to-buy list*I'll have to get them.By any chance, are there pdfs or something of the GN's?

Toa TAK Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Still upsetting that GN#10 never made a release. But I would pick them up for the new stories, and just for consalidated comics as well.
