3.0 out of 5 stars
First Cut,
By J. Sherman "The Critic" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gundam Seed Astray R (Gundam (Tokyopop) (Graphic Novels)), Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Penned by Tomohiro Chiba, ASTRAY R is a manga series running concurrent to Koichi Tokita's ASTRAY. Since the former reveals events missing from the latter, it's necessary to read both series to get a cohesive narrative. Continuing the adventures of cocky junk dealer Lowe Guele (or Lowe Gear in TOKYOPOP's version), Vol. 1 of ASTRAY R explains how he acquires the massive Gerbera Straight sword for his Gundam, as well as what happens to SEED regular Lacus Clyne before her space rescue in Episode 7 of the TV series. Apart from TOKYOPOP editors adding footnotes translating obvious sound effects, Yasunari Toda's artwork gets so abstract at times that the reader can't tell what's going on. But the so-so dialogue and the likable cast make ASTRAY R an amusing pulp story. Vol. 1 includes a bonus art gallery and a rundown of ASTRAY's relationship with SEED.
This comic is T for Teen (Ages 13+): Violence, Adult Language. |
