4.0 out of 5 stars
As good as the previous volumes, November 4, 2009
This review is from: Apple, Vol. 3 (Paperback)
Length:: 0:29 Mins
Apple is a Korean comics anthology, a collection of comics and illustrations from some of the top Korean illustrators around. Volume 3 continues the tradition with the usual vast variety of styles.
The only complain which I have against the volume is still the discontinuity of some stories. Not all the stories from previous volumes are continued here. It's already quite hard to follow a book that publishes yearly, even harder if the stories not continued. It's not really a big issue though.
The quality of art is really great. Most of the comic panels are lavishly painted so it's really a visual treat for anyone. There are quite a few beautiful splash pages. There are also plenty of interesting characters to look at from the comics.
My usual recommendation for Apple is still to treat it like an art book rather than a comic book to avoid disappointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as the first two, April 12, 2010
This review is from: Apple, Vol. 3 (Paperback)
Well, Apple's third edition is just as weird as it's pre-releases but overall isn't as good as the first two released.
Though the price was $23 so I can't complain.
If you have the first two apple's then it's a must to get this one as well but some stories featured in the first two releases aren't in this one.
Still, I think anyone who likes to see great art and unique stories would love to add this to their collection.
However if you under 16 I wouldn't recommend buying this at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars
It's like going downstairs; getting worst and worst as we take each step., May 1, 2010
This review is from: Apple, Vol. 3 (Paperback)
This is the Third Apple book that I now own. For me, this Volume contains more unique styles than the previous two. Although, I am not intrigue or familiar with the style, I find myself less entertained. The book is still great for references, but I feel that the value of it's predecessors holds more than what this book currently has.
