"C'mon you
apes! Do you want to live forever?"
Dark Horse, justly famous
for developing fine movie based comics like the Aliens and Predator lines,
does it again with this excellent Starship Troopers graphic novel. The
book contains three stories: The first details mankind's first encounter
with the Arachnids; the second tells the tragic tale of Port Joe Smith;
and the third is the story of the movie itself. The artwork in the first
and third stories is stunning. Crisp, clear and full of technical detail,
it perfectly captures the slightly glossy feel of the movie. The art in
the second story is less impressive, but no less powerful. The writing
throughout is superb, a perfect mirror to the "gung-ho" attitude of both
novel and film. If you're a fan of "Starship Troopers" in any form, do
yourself a favour and buy this book. You won't regret it.

STARSHIP
TROOPERS graphic novel expands on the film.
My
story, "Brute Creations," details the Bug attack on Port Joe Smith which
is mentioned in passing in the STARSHIP TROOPERS movie. "Brute Creations"
also expands on Jean Rasczak's role in the Bug War. Warren and Gordon's
story is a prequel to the movie, and Bruce's is the official movie comics
adaptation. |

| In Delicate
Creatures, Image Comics` first all-original hardcover, J. Michael Straczynski
turns his gaze towards the fairytale and leaves you wondering how much
is tale and how much is truth. Like all of Straczynski`s work, he provides
an intelligent examination of a cliche-ridden genre that will rise above
and challenge the best literature currently available. |
