Stormbreaker Graphic Novel (Alex Rider)

A nice graphic novel about a teenage secret agent....full of adventure and a must read for comic lovers...nice artwork....awesome story...full of action

I have returned the book ..

Bought for 8 year old. He enjoys reading these abd asked for the whole set now.

Hardly encouraging for transitioning to mental imagination

Great

- auch gut für "Einsteiger", die gerne auf Englisch lesen möchten --> durch Bilder sehr leicht verständlich- netter James-Bond-Verschnitt für Kinder und Jugendliche- Story entspricht dem Film (Stormbreaker)

I love well-done graphic novels, and while I'm a much more frequent browser of them than a buyer of them, I had to buy this when I bought the DVD ALEX RIDER: OPERATION STORMBREAKER. Even if this graphic novel had turned out to be average, I think it would've been worth the purchase. As it happens, I think it's top-notch (just as the cover thumbnail intimated to me), and it's the almost-ideal written counterpart to the DVD. The artistic style, while based on manga, still retains more than enough Western characteristics to suit a Western character and a Western literary genre, and the well-written text fills in some details that aren't found in the DVD.Alex Rider (in the graphic novels even more than in the movie and in the novels) resembles a literary alter ego of my own so uncannily that I sometimes think Anthony Horowitz must've been peeking at my notes. In truth, it's obvious that we've been drawing upon the same archetypes independently, only a generation apart (meaning I was doing it twenty years before he was, when I was Alex's age and even younger).
