Red Prophet
By Orson Scott Card
Graphic novel by Brown, Buchemi, and Montenegro
The art here is serviceable, but nothing spectacular. At times it is difficult to tell characters apart, especially Alvin and his brother Measure, when they were captured by the reds.
With the active hand of Card, the narrative is a successful adaptation. It is somewhat wordy, something less than desirable in a graphic novel I think, but necessarily so to capture the spirit of the story.
Overall, it is an enjoyable adaptation, and a quick way to re-experience the story in order to get to the books in the series that I haven’t read yet.
I wish I had more to say, but life is creeping in. I’ve already finished the next book (on tape) before finishing this review!
