5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite ..., February 13, 2008

This review is from: Scarface: Devil in Disguise (Paperback)

When I first bought Scarface: Devil in Disguise, I was a little reluctant because I am a true Scarface: The Movie diehard. I was worried that the Devil would destroy the great story line of Tony Montana and how he became the most feared faux cocaine trafficker in Miami's history ...but that was not the case. The detail the writer, Josh Jabcuga, went into about Tony as a child through his tenure with the Cuban military was detailed, without being to wordy, and gave Montana fans some closure how he became the "Monster" he was in the movie. In addition, the artwork & lettering is by far better than most of the "rags" on the selves in your favorite comic book store. I will keep raving about Devil in Disguise even though I am not an avid comic book reader!!! GREAT JOB IDW!

Tony lived a life outside of what the movie covered. That is what the books state and that is what you follow. Also, you have a glamous looking picture and not one you wouldn't like as a fan, showing the rise or the thing that sits there in that chair with the blow mountain in front of him, and you feel the power in that icon. It is like a fan based porduct, only more violent to keep with the times.

I saw this when I was looking for something and it was really prime in the dollar situation. That made me want to check it out and, truly, I liked it. It helped that I knew the name, most will, and knew what I would get. I figured it could not do anything with the character that we don't know from the movies, would not delve deep, adn would not be that disappointing. It was all there.

I am giving this a 4, rounding it from a 3.5. I like it more than simply liking, but it isn't a moving book. It has a specific story to tell to specific people and you can tell if that is you or not quicly. If you are not, you are not missing out. If you are intrigued, it is good and ou can't miss out by picking it up.

good stuff for some.

That you.

This review is from: Scarface: Devil in Disguise (Paperback)

If you are a Scarface fan, I reccomend this comic book. This book goes back in Cuba when Scarface was working for Castro's army. Scarface Devil in Disguise explains how Scarface met Manny Ribera, how Scarface got his scar on his face, and him starting as a small time gangster to almost to a pro gangster.
