Collection including bonus,
This review is from: Dragonlance: The Legend Of Huma (Paperback)
The first five issues in this book were originally published individually. Issue six has not been previously published and is only available in this collected volume.
The illustrations are beautiful and vibrant, transporting the reader directly into the grandeur as well as the detail of the story. The character portrayals are consistent with those found in the original novel these comics are based on (Legend of Huma, Dragonlance Heroes Vol. 1). Both Huma and his wizard companion Magius are immortalized in this story, to be forever revered within their world. Unfortunately, due to disagreements the series was cut short before the completion of the story. It's still highly enjoyable, though, especially for fans of the original story or the Dragonlance world in general.

Disappointing. Stick with the Original.,

This review is from: Dragonlance: The Legend of Huma (Dragonlance (Numbered)) (Hardcover)
I enjoy graphic novels and am a big fan of the Dragonlance series, and in particular Richard Knaak's "The Legend of Huma"-- so much that I probably would have purchased this regardless of the reviews. But I have to admit that this collection of six Dragonlance comics, which tell/depict (part of) Huma's story left me disappointed. The six issues end abruptly taking you through barely half the novel. The dialogue stays true to Knaak's version, but the art does not always keep up and unless you know the story really well you will get confused from time to time. The artists also change at will, in mid-issue even, and the quality is inconsistent. This is a wonderful story and should translate well into the graphic novel medium, but this collection of stories does not do Knaak's novel justice. Even for Dragonlance/Huma fans, I recommend passing on this edition.

This review is from: Dragonlance: The Legend of Huma (Dragonlance (Numbered)) (Hardcover)
This series is a brilliant series. The artwork is phenomenal! The characters of Richard A. Knaak's "Legend of Huma" are a bold, and dazzling effect that compiles all the brilliance of the story itself. This "graphic novel", so to speak, was a very interesting, very pleasing interpretation of the story. It is a MUST HAVE for any Dragonlance collector. I've been reading the original Dragonlance series for about 10 years now, and it is by far one of my favorite worlds of the fantasy genre. This world is so captivating for any age readers, and inspiring for all age writers!
I will note, that this specific graphic novel does not finish the story of Huma. It is made to get you interested in reading the actual book. Reading both of them together is a wonderful design, kudos to the writers. They opened the door for a younger generation to transfer from their easy-read comics and into a beautiful fantasy world full of opportunities. I find this to be an admirable thing, not just a money scheme. If you are a Dragonlance fan, than the "Legend of Huma" graphic novel is just for you!
