The author wrote these comics for those who read the original quartet. Iko commenting during scenes which she’s not in not only confused me but also disrupted the flow of the scene. These exposition dumps are unnecessary since the book introduces most of the discussed characters at the beginning of the book. My only issue with her writing appears in volume one when the author implements black text boxes with Iko’s opinions of certain characters. Reading a Marissa Meyer book without her immersive narration was an odd adjustment, but, for the most part, the author succeeded in telling a compelling story.
His panel layouts, use of spacing, coloring, and the character’s body language make the illustrations look distinct and more expressive.
In comparison, Gilpin’s illustrations capture the many tones of Marissa Meyer’s story. Even during scenes without much action, his drawings feel lifeless. Holgate uses the same few perspectives in his illustrations and the same panel layouts, limiting the feeling of movement during fight scenes in volume one. Though Gilpin was recruited to imitate Holgate’s art style for Gone Rogue, his illustrations and panel formatting surpass his predecessor’s work. The Wires and Nerve comics have different illustrators for each book: Doug Holgate and Stephen Gilpin. Overview: The illustrations compliment Marissa Meyer’s impeccable storytelling. Overview: Great set-up for the second volume of the story, but the lackluster illustrations distract me from the story.ĭate Read: July 25th, 2019 – July 26th, 2019 Number of Books: 2 (sequel companions to The Lunar Chronicles)ĭ ate Read: July 11th, 2019 – July 13th, 2019 Set after the events of The Lunar Chronicles (but before the Stars Above epilogue), feature many of the same characters with Iko as the main protagonist…along with a brand-new villain, and maybe a certain Lunar guard as well.Īge Group: 12+ (little profanity mild violence) Minor spoilers for The Lunar Chronicles and both Wires and Nerve comics.
