Average Rating: 
Rating: - A decent adaptation
It is a common secret, I believe, that film-to-comic adaptations are shallow in ways of storytelling but in the artwork field things are completing different.

Perhaps, it has to do with the limited time given to artists to explore the stories ... Read More

Rating: - Wonderful!!
I had the incredible luck to have read this before it hit the shelves thanks to my job. It only took me a half hour to read the comic (my lunch break), but I could've spent hours pouring over the pages. Since everyone knows what this is about, I'm not going to waste my time talking about the plotline.
The artwork is pretty nice for a movie to comic adaptation & the artists really do try to keep the characters looking as close to their real counterparts as possible (although they do smooth ... Read More
