5.0 out of 5 stars The One and Only, July 3, 2007

By	C. T. Hunter "chips_books" (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As far as I know, this is the only graphic novel made about the MTG trading card game. Gerrard's Quest relates the story that is the focal point of the Weatherlight, Tempest, Stronghold, and Exodus expansion packs for MTG. These sets and the story they tell represent the most advanced and complete story of the MTG universe. Gerrard's Quest is really a companion book to Rath and Storm (Magic the Gathering Anthology), which essentially tells the same story with a little more detail (but without the colorful pictures). In order to get the whole story, both of these books should be read. Neither contains the entire tale and each adds its own dimensions to the overall. Also consider ART OF MAGIC, THE (Magic the Gathering Artbooks), which is full of very nice illustrations of characters, settings, and much more pertaining to this story.

In Gerrard's Quest, Gerrard has become the temporary captain of the Weatherlight and must travel to the world of Rath to battle his old friend Vuel and rescue the old captain Sisay. Gerrard's Legacy also plays a major role in the story, while its true purpose remains somewhat of a mystery. A large group of well-developed and interesting characters accompany Gerrard on his quest, and interactions between all of these characters help bring the story to life. This is the most well-planned and complex storyline of the MTG literature. A great story.

This was a great book highlighting the travels and adventuresof Gerrard and the Weatherlight. I would reccomend this to anyone thatis interested in Magic: the Gathering. Even if you are not into Magic I would suggest it as a great fantasy novel.

When I purchased this book, I was unaware that it was a graphic novel. Not a bad thing in itself, but it is simply a edited down, incomplete version of the anthology, Rath and Storm. I wish I hadn't purchased it because the anthology was much better.
