Just found the manga in Chapters today and bought it obviously. I never knew it existed until now, and was just about to make a thread about it until I did one further search and replaced comic with manga which took me here. I haven't read any yet, but that's probably all I am going to be doing for the rest of the night. Anyone else have it or read it? Please don't spoil anything though. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I'm half done the book, I've finished the parts "Why We Fight" and "Thundergod". The art is pretty damn good and follows Starcraft well in that way. When looking through I can pick out everything drawn pretty easily. The plot is quite simple and straightforward but good nonetheless, with quite a lot of action. I am definitely going to buy Vol.2 if the other two sub-stories are as good as the first two. I would recommend it, especially even to people who aren't SC fanatics. After all, it was only $11.99 CAD for me, nothing big.  | ||

However, it is true that most are not particularly good and are only worth reading to pass the time. But even they are better reading then the pure embodiment of terrible writing that is Shadow of the Xel`Naga by the "Gabriel Mesta" duo. That novel was just so plain horrible that, for the first time in my life, I thought I personally would have done a better job writing it. While I did not read it, I hear Queen of Blades is of the same poor caliber. The StarCraft universe has a lot of potential. It is just a shame that Blizzard insists on hiring mostly poor writers with Star Trek experience to do their novels. | ||

I saw the manga a lot of times in a major bookstore in Singapore, but never attempted to buy due to the fear of the artstyle not to my liking, and having a shitty plot. So, for those who have read... Poll: Art style to your liking? (Vote): Worth the money! (Vote): I wish I had never known about this piece of crap. Poll: Captivating plot? (Vote): Hell yeah! (Vote): No f'ing way. | ||
