Reviews

[Artur Coelho · Rating 2 out of 5]

Um guerreiro grego, responsável pelo fim da Atlântida, ajuda um grupo de feiticeiros a tentar recuperar a fonte da sua magia, indo em busca de uma divindade adormecida. Uma demanda sem esperança, porque a era da magia se está a desvanecer. Fantasia pura, e um traço excelente no desenho, mas a adaptação dá a sensação de querer resumir um livro que claramente não cabe no limite de páginas desta experiência de novelas gráficas do final dos anos 80.

2.5 rounded up for art... I guess.

Byrne's quote on the back proves him to be the reprehensible type of dweeb- a cudgel in the ox of tools.

Was expecting a pure Sci-fi. Not some 'magic' story. Its not my taste. I should have stayed away from it as the title shouts magic.

This is actually DC's graphic novel adaptation by Paul Kupperberg and Jan Duursema. Is it heresy to suggest that this beautifully-illustrated adaptation actually improves on the original novel a bit?
