I read this with my six-year-old twins, who have already seen the Empire Strikes Back film. This is a great retelling of the film in graphic form, enhanced by Al Williamson's art (which I prefer to the art by Howard Chaykin from the A New Hope graphic novelization) and especially by Christopher Sotomayor's colors, which are especially strong in this volume. I liked the peeks behind the scenes of the comic's creation, especially the descriptions of how the comic and the film were made at the same time. The look we got at the original comics version of Yoda is pretty funny. We're looking forward to reading Return of the Jedi, which is already sitting on our shelf.
Not a huge fan of the artwork (it's definitely better in this one) but the story is the one we all know and love.

Can't quite put my finger on it but this may have been my least favorite adaptation of the trilogy. Still, seeing iconic Star Wars designs in Al Williamson's style is always a delight.
Well, as most of the great moments of these movie were adlibbed (especially "I love you. I know.") this comic isn't very good. While Episode IV had tidbits not in the movie, this just glosses over some of the best scenes. From Han and Leia's kiss being interrupted to Luke's training, this was more of a let down than anything else, making it only a 2.5 stars.
1. Talvez não devesse ter visto tantas vezes o filme e lido a adaptação manga antes desta.
2. A arte da dupla colombiana é notavelmente melhorada pela coloração SOTOCOLOR. Ganha toda uma atmosfera que as cores originais impossibilitavam.
3. Como falha amarga senti o desencaixe entre o argumento de Godwin e os eventos de Hoth no delicioso Lost Stars (mas a culpa não é do pobre Archie).

It sticks pretty closely to the film, shot for shot; the art is perhaps better executed but less imaginative (if you see what I mean).

For some reason I always forget what happens in this one!! Most of my graphic novels have been Marvel remastered editions, but this one is from Dark Horse and I love it!! The pages and the ink are amazing. They look and feel a lot different. Real. Authentic almost. There’s a lot of good info in here that helps set up for Return of the Jedi. I’m stoked to read the rest of these graphic novels before I start the novel adaptations.
