5.0 out of 5 stars A vividly illustrated, original, and enthusiastically recommended story, August 7, 2007

This review is from: Scarface: Scarred For Life (Paperback)

A premier publisher of comics and graphic novels, IDW Publishing has release "Scarface; Scarred For Life", a five part series of comics that takes up the story of Tony Montana, a character made famous by the Oliver Stone 'Scarface' movie starring Al Pacino as a small time Cuban gangster deported to the United States when Fidel Castro emptied his jails and prisons and exiled career criminals along with an exodus of law-abiding Cubans. This outstanding comic book series written by John Layman, penciled and inked by Dave Crosland, colored by Len O'Grady, lettered by Robbie Robbins, and edited by Chris Ryall takes up the story where the film left off. We find Tony Montana in the custody of the feds and recovering from a near assassination that wiped out his gang, trashed his mansion, and destroyed his drug business in Miami, Florida. But you can't keep a bad man down as Tony starts once again carving out a new empire while getting even with the man who tried to kill him, and the various other low-lifes (including two corrupt feds) that get in the way of Tony Montana. We are reintroduced to the love of his live, Elvira, who is now the trophy wife of Tony's nemesis, the Bolivian drug lord Sosa. Soon to be collected into a graphic novel format, the six individual issues of the "Scarface: Scarred For Life" miniseries present a vividly illustrated, original, and enthusiastically recommended story that fairly careens along from cliffhanger to plot twist, ultimately resulting in an satisfying and consistent conclusion that will leave the readers looking eagerly toward the next Scarface miniseries scheduled for publication by IDW Publishing -- "Devil In Disguise".

Buyers of amazon if you love scareface you will love this new exciting comic. I loved this book so much that I read it in one hour. I didn't realize that scareface is suspenseful and action. The next scareface is Scareface: Devil in Disguise. That comes out June 18, 2008. Buy this book today and I am not saying that because I want amazon to make money. Ask parents permission if you are under the age of 18.

When I was on Amazon, I came across this great book called Scarface Scarred For Life. This book takes place after Scarface's mansion shootout and he manages to live with alot of gunshot wounds. The book really amazed me who Scarface ran into in this book. See if Scarface lives or dies at the end of the book. This book was so good that I was very happy to even buy it.
