Not a bad collection at all. Makes me wish someone had continued with this universe and made more comics. Still, this was a fun read and gave me a lot more of characters that I loved, hated, and/or were curious about.
One ordinary Wednesday, the power was turned off... and it didn't come back on again.Paperback collection of the one-off comic book prequels for Mad Max: Fury Road, each issue focusing on a different character. It's a mixed bag as a result, but I'm glad I read it: I forever love this setting and being steeped in the gritty and unforgiving Wasteland, with some fun worldbuilding and little hints of backstory for these characters.Nux & Immortan Joe: Nux's origin honest-to-god had my heart clenching...
"Nux and Immortan Joe" - 3.5/5 stars"Furiosa" - 1/5 stars "Max Part I" - 3.5/5 stars"Max Part II" - 4/5 stars"War Rig" - 3/5 starsUnsurprisingly, Furiosa's storyline mostly soured my view of this collection of Max Mad: Fury Road prequel comic books. (The rest are readable enough, though largely underwhelming.) Feminist critics have already picked "Furiosa" apart, panel by panel, so instead of rehashing what's already been said, I'll just redirect you here, here, and here. For starters.I especial...
Mad Max: Fury Road was one of my favourite movies from last year - it was crazy fun and full of awesome action set pieces and characters. So I was intrigued to check out these prelude comics from writer/director George Miller and his scriptwriter Nico Lathouris and storyboard artist Mark Sexton. And then I was disappointed as, with most prelude comics, this one turned out to be total crap. The book’s divided into five short sections featuring Immortan Joe, Warboy Nux, Imperator Furiosa, “Mad” Ma...
A solid set of prequel stories for the characters from Mad Max: Fury Road written by George Miller.
What a day.....What a lovely day (To Review)NUX & IMMORTAN JOE :The Story deals with origins of both Nux as well as Immortan Joe. Most importantly, how the hell did he get the name Immortan Joe?!Verdict : Shiny but, not so chromeFURIOSA:The Story is about lives of Five Wives of the Citadel and how they cross path with FuriosaVerdict: Ah,MediocreMAX:Max is back in Thunderdome! This chapter also tells the story of the mysterious (dead) child who Max kept on seeing in the movie!Verdict : WITNESS
It was fairly obvious that Max's story would've been the best one, however I must say I was surprised when I saw they've also drawn the backstories of some of the wackiest vehicles and objects which appeared in Mad Max: Fury Road. Well, I'm not complaining because they were great too
This was a decent prequel to the recent Mad Max: Fury Road film. We got to see backstories for Nux, Immortan Joe, Furiosa and Max himself. Really nothing groundbreaking but still a good read. I liked the Max story best, but they all helped fill in some blanks. The art was a good fit for the stories as well.If you were a fan of the movie, these are worth checking out.
The Furiosa section is absolutely standout. Otherwise a fun read for anyone who enjoyed the film
What a lovely day xD I've never heard of Mad Max and then Fury Road the movie came into my life. And i loved it so much. Basicaly this is some back stories (i really hoped to see more of Furiosa the Queen <3). The art was fine and the stories were fine, i enjoyed this :D. 3,5 stars
This was interesting. Ever wonder who the little girl Max keeps seeing, how Furiosa helped the Wives escape, how Nux became a warboy and of course how Immortan Joe found the Citadel? These story arcs answer that. Though I would of liked it to see as a movie but comic book form is okay too. Love that cover.For the most part, these were okay, my favorite probably Max's story. The art work at first I wasn't sure about, but the more I breezed through this, the more I found it fit the tone the comic
So, here we have a few prequel stories that tie into the Mad Max:Fury Road movie, and are supposed to stand on their own right, not just as marketing fodder. George Miller thought up these tales during the production of the movie. Pretty interesting stuff, and the artwork was right on the mark for all of its dusty desert waste feel. Nothing too earth shattering, but if you liked the movie this will be fun for you to spend time with.
It is what it is. It's not the greatest graphic novel I've read, but it's not the worst, either. I like explanations and backstories, so I enjoyed it :)
I had such high hopes for this. Prequels are usually an extreme in either a hit or a miss so I shouldn't be surprised. Max, Nux & Immortan Joe's stories were compelling enough but Furiosa's was such a disappointment. I can't rate this higher than 2 or 2.5 if I'm generous.
Fury road, by far my fave movie of this year it's amazing so i had to pick this up and it doesn't disappoint. You don't really learn anything new, it doesn't go into great detail about the background of these characters especially furiosa (mainly because there's gonna be another movie so they ain't gonna waste a good story on a comic) so don't expect any revelations here. You do however find out who that kid is in max's flashbacks from the movie which was interesting, and it's kinda depressing w...
It was a great read. It filled out a lot of details from the movie.
Would recommend this to fans of the Mad Max series. Would be nice to see this continued.https://youtu.be/k-N0tqwJCoA
In a fallen world ravaged by oil and water wars, humanity exists without law or mercy. All those who wander the Wasteland are ruled by a single imperative…survive! Among them is Max Rockatansky, a Road Warrior haunted by his turbulent past… “It’s hard to know who is more crazy. Me or everyone else?!” In this first issue, witness the rise of Colonel Joe Moore, a war hero turned tyrannical warlord…The Immortan Joe, story of Nux, who born after the apocalypse hit humanity and his life is chaos, and...
This was fine. The only story worth reading in here is Max's because you learn who the child he kept seeing was. The Furiosa story just annoyed me, and the Nux/Immortan Joe story was boring.
Interesting, nicely packaged, cool episodes.
