A review by saareman
Meg: The Graphic Novel by J.S. Earls, Steve Alten, Mike S. Miller
2.0
Shark Weak
Review of the Blacklist Universe edition (Dec 2019) of the Dabel Bros. original (2018) based on the original Steve Alten novel [b:Meg|989524|Meg|Steve Alten|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387710158l/989524._SY75_.jpg|411660] (June 1997)
Although this graphic novel adaptation was released at the time of the 2018 film "The MEG", it more closely follows the plot of the original 1997 novel. There are therefore several subplots which are not even seen in the film version.
Although the adaptation is accurate to the novel and the artwork is well done, the main disappointment is that the final confrontation with the monster shark (no spoiler here) is not even completely portrayed on the page. The ending simply jump-cuts to the aftermath.
