Well, I thought I might as well re-launch this blog with it's new Ender-theme in style. These are the opening pages of the new comic-book adaptation of Ender's Game, published by Marvel Comics. Obviously it's hugely truncated, but at the same time it's very competently done and, more importanly, it's exactly how
I imagined it. Card's own oral puff for the series is
here.
The artist is actually a Spaniard called
Pasqual Ferry, and the standard is quite obviously a good deal higher than that of the average US comicbook in the tradition of Josh Kirby
et al. (There are couple of his rough sketches
here and
here.)
It has to be said, there's something bittersweet about the fact that the aliens are now called "formics".
