TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3656 - This graphic novel was read after Tina and I viewed the film on the Big Screen, as seen at this review blog on the film, blog #3474 from August 1st of 2011. So what is the publisher's promo blurb for this trade paperback compilation (graphic novel)? Here it is: "1873. Arizona. An era when all a man could count on was his horse and his six-gun, and Indians fought a losing battle with European settlers. Until somebody else entered the fight - an invader who saw all humans as slaves, and was determined to conquer our world." Okay... Here's My Take on this issue: First of all, as stated above... I first saw the film last year, and review blogged it, along with Vinnie & Tina. I had not read the comic books that the film was loosely based on, nor the trade compilation, grahic novel. So imagine my surprise on how different this 'graphic novel' was from the film itself! No Daniel Craig based character, and no Harrison Ford character! Instead, this storyline didn't follow the film at all, at least as far as I was able to make it out... Still the storyline was okay... just okay in my book. The artwork was fine, and the lettering and coloring were okay also. Just didn't follow the film at all, which left me kind of disappointed... To tell you the truth. If I hadn't seen the film already, then I wouldn't have had a preset notion of what this graphic novel should have been... Alas, I had already seen the film! My comic book grade for this first issue is a Very Fine (VF) 8.0 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale. Please note: My comic book grade for the film itself was a Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grade. You can buy this comic book direct from the publisher at: Cowboys and Aliens
