    Due to issues with shipping, I didn't receive the original product, but they were able to send me over a new copy for free. It came a bit dinged up on the corners, but nothing too noticeable. The story is great so far, with amazing art, as well. Price is a bit high considering it was originally sold at $9.99, but someone's gotta make money somewhere. All in all, good purchase, 5/5 would recommend.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Solid Bridge for Tron and Tron Legacy.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    As someone who enjoyed watching both Tron films, I can't help but feel really intrigued by the universe and the world that Disney has created. I feel there is so much potential to expand and explore this world outside of the film medium. This book confirmed that such an endeavor would be well worth it. Tron: Betrayal is a very tightly written book, which tries to show exactly what happens in Flynn's newly created world after he takes over Encom, and it lays downs the beginnings for the eventual upheaval by Flynn's own creation, Clue. The artwork does a wonderful job of telling the story on it's own. Both pencils and coloring do the world justice and replicate the visual brilliance of the films. This tale is great exercise of irony, and it really challenges the notion of what digital worlds will mean to future of humanity. The book balances itself well between Flynn, Tron, and Clue to create the perfect backdrop for Tron: Legacy. It also does a better job at explaining where and how the isomorphs came into being and why they became such a source of conflict between Flynn and Clue. If you have any interest in all at seeing the world of Tron beyond the movies, I would highly recommend reading this book. It's worth your attention and time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Prequel Graphic Novel To "Tron: Legacy"
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Pretty much what the other reviews have said, it explains more in depth to details that the film doesn't. It adds more to the film if you read this before you see it. The story & artwork is great for this. I actually read it in one sitting, it only took about an hour or so to read it all. The graphic novel also includes an 11-page retelling of the original Tron movie, which I thought was really "radical, man!"

    Fans of Tron, definite buy. People looking to get into Tron, definitely read or buy. (I loved the movie, still don't see why so many people are down on it.)

    It was a bit busted and not in the best shape like it was sold from a library. Kinda sad because i was expecting an almost perfect copy but i guess u cant expect too much for 7 bucks. Good enough though i look forward to reading it. I am a huge fan of the tron sequel and love its entire premise and look forward to seeing the full story told of what happened between flynn tron and clu. I have seen tron og and have it on blu ray the sequel when i was young in theaters and it left a huge impact and the tron uprising disney xd tv show when i was a teenager so u can say i know a good bit

    「アメコミ＝男も女もマッチョだらけ」という偏った先入観があるせいか、敬遠する方もいるかもしれません。
    ですが昨今のアメコミは必ずしもそうでもなく、私達でも読みやすい作品がちらほらと出ているようです。

    本題に入りますが、このコミックは映画そのものをコミカライズしたものではなく、
    映画以前のストーリーを描いており、フリン、クルー、トロンの３人を中心に話が進んでいきます。

    自分だけの世界(=グリッド)を作り、アイソーの出現に喜ぶフリンは、
    古いシステムから連れてきたトロンと自身のコピーであるクルーと共に
    完璧なシステムを完成させるために、アイソー達の周りに出現するバグや事件に対処していく。

    そしてサムの誕生と妻であるジョーダンの死を契機に物語は佳境に入り、
    クルーとフリンの間にある軋轢は深まっていく…という感じの内容なのですが、
    特にアイソーの設定やクルーの裏切りの背景、フリンとクルー、フリンとサム、クルーとトロンの関係等も小説版より詳しく書かれているので、
    映画で生じた疑問点を解決するにはちょうど良い本でないかと思います。
