5.0 out of 5 stars Titan  The Graphic Novel -Well Written and Illustrated!, March 25, 2003

This review is from: Titan (Warhammer 40,000) (Paperback)

"Titan - the Graphic Novel" was GW's (Games Workshop, a gaming publisher and miniatures manufacturer) effort to better popularize their already well-liked 40k universe. It has been an outstanding success and is one of their better "promotion" products.

The story focuses on the experiences of one titan across a battlefront of the (generic sci-fi human) Empire. The experienced Titan pilot dies of old age and a younger trainee is forced to take over the helm. He, of course, is not well accepted by the older apparatchiks of the Imperium (in the Adeptus Mechanicus) and has to face several trials to keep his Titan. All of the combat in this novel faces Ork opponents.

The greatest attraction is to see the fine artwork of the novel. The titans are fleshed out with every nut and bolt. The pilots and crew of a Titan are defined to great satisfaction for the 40k enthusiast. I bought my novel to give me ideas how to convert 6mm scale Epic titans. "Titan - the Graphic Novel" was well worth my money for that reason alone. However, I don't think the story could stand well on its' own if it didn't already have an established fan base of 40k players.

I recommend this graphic novel for the GW 40k enthusiast and fan.

like everything that Dan Abnett does, this is pure gold. a great graphic novel about titans, what can be wrong?. the other review is really complete an accurate so I can't add anything more.

but the thing is that this book is really thin and is the first one of a series which you can find together in this one Titan: God Machine (Warhammer 40,000). I bought both and fortunately find that before buy the second volume Titan II: Vivaporius (Warhammer 40,000), which indeed is in God Machine. of course when I bought them, God Machine cost me just 9.99$, and this one just 6.87$. so I sold this and conserve God Machine. =)
