Enjoyed this conclusion to the Formic Wars story just a little better than the opening. This volume opens with Earth forces knowing a bit more about what they're up against and beginning to come up with strategies to combat the Formics. It takes a combined effort on multiple fronts with many heroes to finally 'win' the battle. Really only interesting to Ender's Game completists. And some of them may be upset by some revisionist 'history'. Still fun.
Plot was fairly decent. Execution was just ok. Characters weren't very distinct - couldn't always tell who was talking. Some unrealistic/silly ideas.
This book follows Formic Wars Burning Earth. Both are well done.
Still very interesting...can't wait for the book!
Good, but not as good as the novel. Definitely see the foundations of the ideas that make the novel great, so a tip of the hat there.
Many of the novels and short stories in Orson Scott Card's Ender series have been adapted into comic book form by Marvel, but this collection represents a brand new story in the series written as a comic. Card and Aaron Johnston co-wrote the story (Johnston wrote the script). They have announced plans to expand on the story in a trilogy of novels, the first of which Earth Unaware was published last month. The artwork by Giancarlo Caracuzzo is adequate. The panels support the text and were usuall...
A little more action than the Formic Wars: Burning Earth set of comics. They tied in the ending well with what we know will happen in Ender's Game. Fun little distraction for an hour or so.
I like this series, The art and writing works well together to tell this story. Another series I hope they make would be the Ender's Story from the point of view of the troops that were the actual fighters taking orders from the battle command. This was a Good Read.
Decent read, original storyline material for Enders Game FanThe review is for all the 5 comics collected into a single volume.This is a direct continuation of the Formic Wars: Burning Earth graphic novel. The plotting is more focused and ends the particular storyline making it a better read than its predecessor. The art itself is passable. Overall the graphic novel is mediocre and doesn’t hold a candle to what one may expect from Orson Scott Card's novel with their detailed plotting and characte...
While I generally love OSC's works, this didn't really feel like something that he created. He served as Executive Producer and helped with the plot, but the text and illustrations were created by others on his team.Also, OSC's normal characters are very appealing because they're clever and complex. These characters seemed very one-dimensional.Finally, maybe I'm just not a fan of the comic genre, but I felt that these stories were just too easy to skim over, rather than getting into the meat tha...
This finishes the retelling of the Formic Wars trilogy. The story is a bit more focused here than the previous volume, which makes it a little more cohesive a graphic novel. It's still a straight retelling of the novel, with nothing added or expanded, just illustrated with an art style that's okay but not memorable. The story still balances ingenuity with physical action, and a variety of heroic characters. It's good, but not great. I can't say I'd recommend it for people who read the novels, bu...
2.5 (good conclusion)Didn't love this. Enjoyed the expansion of the universe, and Mazer story, but I wasn't too thrilled with the art, colors, and story. I did enjoy the ending, which I didn't see coming. A personal qualm, but I also don't love the Marvel version of the Formics. I can get over that when the story is great, but not when it's all about them. And the story is only so-so. I was happy to have borrowed this one. I won't be buying it anytime soon. (I go back and forth on if this deserv...
I'm a fan of comics and of the Ender's Game books series, but I truly feel these never should have been translated into comics. The characters here are great, but what I like about the Ender books is the political (much of which is dulled down here) and the way he can create mental imagery without much description. Perhaps if the art were better, this would have been more enjoyable. I would have liked to see it in book rather than comicbook format.
A not especially good bit about the initial Bugger attack on Earth. Some interesting bits concerning the inside of the Bugger ships - but really this is covered better elsewhere. Art is not bad but writing really didn't contain much. Basically its just a ghost of a plot. And a book form is coming out - I read the first one and it is better than this though not a lot better.
This comic is a rough draft of a very good book.
Not a fan of graphic novels, but at least it tells the story of how the humans defeated the formics in the first formic war.
