1.0 out of 5 stars Derivative and Dull, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #13a: Skyward Shadow (Paperback)

Without a doubt, one of the weakest of the Elfquest volumes and most of the new stuff they've published since ending the original story line in the 1980's has been weak indeed. I count this series among the worst I've ever read and I only continued buying EQ because I was so loyal to the old series.

If you thought the Star Wars chapter one was derivative and unimaginative, this book will leave you catatonic. Warring alien factions take a few chapters out of A Distant Soil, only without the intelligent scripts. The art is perfectly lousy. This stuff is rough and downright homely. No other publisher would print this and try to pass it off as professional quality.

Maybe if Wendy Pini would get off her butt and actually produce something new, we wouldn't have to look at WARP Graphic's never ending list of fifth rate fill ins. I don't care if WARP is busy working on a movie and they can't produce a decent comic any more. I don't even want to see the movie at this rate.

1.0 out of 5 stars didn't like it, October 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #13a: Skyward Shadow (Paperback)

The plot was very weak, but I thought the idea of having a drag race that far in the future was both absurd and funny....I guess the modern equivalent would be a chariot race out in the middle of a modern highway..... :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Elf Quest, A MUST, May 24, 2000

Elfquest is magnificently drawn and wonderfuly worked out. The characters seem real and it's nearly imposible to draw yourself away from reading about them. The story is exiting yet entirely beleavable. This story does not really need all the background info to be understandable but it helps to know some of the earlier stories. This title (and the entire series)is great for ALL ages and is a great thing to read at the end of a long day. Read the series and find out for yourself, I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed!
