Rogue One is easily the best movie of the Disney era for me, just a pure Star Wars adventure with relatable characters, a simple uplifiting story of rebellion shot with beautiful cinematography, well acted, and it managed to fix the dumbest thing on the original movies, which was the hole in the Death Star. If only the sequels had learned something from this simplicity.This adaptation does the movie justice, the art is good, with cool backgrounds, an odd face here and there, got the job done, bu...
It’s very rushed and while it does add a few minor scenes, they ultimately add nothing to the story.
I definitely prefer watching this one over reading it.
The Marvel comics adaption of the excellent film, this plays really well and includes some nice additional scenes that flesh out the story. The artwork is good across the board (though, at times, it looks a bit too clean), the pace zips along and there’s even an extra story, which explores how Cassian came into contact with K-2S0. If you liked the film, this works very well as an accompaniment and I’d heartily recommend it.
A basic adaptation. Never really read an adaptation before. This was fine for What it was. Nothing too spectacular
The artwork is really nice in this adaptation. The characters look just right, but very few panels look like they were just traced from frames of the movie. A few extra scenes fill out the story nicely. The book suffers most during the Scarif battle, though—this adaptation doesn't do well in communicating what's going on in that part of the story, and the end feels rushed and incoherent. Everything up to that point worked well, though.
A straight up, almost shot for shot retelling of the film. Plus, a bonus story about how Cassian found K-2SO.
Good companion to the movie. If you like Rogue One like me.Nice artwork. Some small dialogues not in the movie, including with Admiral Raddus (may he rest in peace), Jyn and Chirrut, and Kaytoo and Bodhi.Also, this version has a cool bonus: the story of how Cassian met Kaytoo for the first time.
Perfect for Star Wars fans Lots of fun for Star Wars fans. This is an almost scene for scene adaptation of the film with an added comic story of how Cassian met K2.
Not too bad, but not great. This one didn’t really translate well to a comic adaptation. The characters were all too performance based, so seeing it on a page lacked personality. Art was fine… but this lacked the energy and excitement I’d have wanted from a Star Wars comic. This story is definitely meant to be viewed on a screen.
After all the positive buzz surrounding this, I was extremely excited to read marvels comic adaption of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I was blown away Alexander Freed's novelization, so when I heard the comic added a bunch of extra scenes, I couldn't wait to see what happened. While it certainly is nowhere near as good as the novelization, this comic delivered. THE MOVIE: Normally I would give a quick synopsis of the story, but because this is an adaption of another story, I take this time to ta...
Way better than the IDW version. There’s extra detail in here that help connect the dots for a few scenes. Some quick little moments from the Catalyst novel, too. Wonderful artwork.
Almost scene for scene from the movie. Art is simple. There is a special of how Cassian & K-2SO ended up together which was cute.
While the graphic novelisation isn't the best it could be, I'm glad to have read it. The one-shot at the end is excellent. The major events from the movie are present, even though they are distinctly more lifeless. This story isn't the best introduction to the Star Wars universe, though it's a good enough story in its own right. I dare say I like these characters more than many others in the Star Wars universe. I guess the movie was simply better. Anyone rooting for Rogue Two? Or Rogue One The R...
While no where near as good as the novelization (which is honestly the best novelization I've ever read) this was still good. It was nice to go back and be with the crew of Rogue One again even if it was just at surface value.I miss them :(
Just an exact telling of the film plus a bonus story at the end which is about the capturing of Kaytoo the security droid, which was interesting to read.
Woe to you if you happen to read this adaptation without having seen the movie first.Movies adaptated in comic book form are more often than not disappointing. I won't particularly put the blame on the authors; they have nearly no margin to work with, all being already set and framed by the movie and the limited number of issues doesn't allow minor unscreened developments like books can.Still, this one is probably the worst adaptation I've read. It's terribly confused and I spent half the time r...
79th book read in 2018.Number 422 out of 739 on my all time book list.Does not catch the magic of the movie. Really a 3.5 star book. On a side note this is 100th Marvel book I have read.
I LOVE this comic it has extra scenes, I also LOVED the flashbacks!
