A good comic book adaptation of Dexter Morgan, the vigilante serial killer from Jeff Lindsay's series of novels. The plot was introduced nicely in this first issue in a series of 5, and is an original plot that we haven't seen already in the book or TV series. The violence is toned down a lot from the novels and TV show, but still has the Dexter elements I love. I also really liked the graphics, and hope the rest of the 5-issue series is a good representation of the Dexter Morgan I've gotten use...
I lov this season. Dexter Morgan is a cold man who has a bad company inside yourself. But different others serial killers, him just kill the bad guys, study our life's and in the right moment catch the person.
I don't like the drawings. -_-
I LOVE Dexter! Plain and simple. These books are amazing and twisted.
Dexter is married to Rita, so this takes place at least after Dexter in the Dark. That is also the novel in which Dexter's school bully Steve Gonzalez is mentioned, so Jeff Lindsay has good attention to detail and revisits that aspect of Dexter's past.
Must read if you love racism. All white characters are good people. All brown/black characters are villians. Cuban immigrant is successful, so he must be hiding something sinister.
2.5Esto me gustó mucho como parte del universo Dexter, pero como novela gráfica en sí es bastante "meh". El arte es decente y el coloreado no está mal, pero la escritura... UGH. No sé si fue la traducción o qué, pero realmente me desagradaron los diálogos. Incluso la voz en off de Dexter no me causó el mismo interés que en la serie (aún no he leído los libros). Así que eso. Recomendada si te gusta Dexter, pero, a pesar de que explican en el prólogo dónde se sitúa entre los libros y la serie (bie...
Read the entire Dexter series. My son's friend, Kevin, tried for years to get me to read them, but I was reluctant because I knew they were chopping up bodies and that's not usually my choice of reading. Well, I finally read one and then two and before I knew it Dexter and I were chopping up bad guys together and I was sucked into the maddening world of Dexter. These books will make you go YUCK a few times, but they are also witty. Thanks Kevin!
It was like a really good early episode with Rita and etc. before the show got weighed down by the relationship peccadilloes of the ancillary characters. More focused on crime and punishment which reminded me of how good the stories were originally.
Psychopath POV
I picked this graphic novel up in between books, as I'm a huge Dexter fan. I am not, however, a graphic novel aficionado. While I have read several graphic novel-ish books (I'm looking at you, HYPERBOLE-AND-A-HALF and FUN HOUSE!), other than the Lego Ninjago series I read with my son, the true graphic novel is a new-to-me genre. For that reason, it took me a while to get into this short mystery, as well as feel like I was involved with the story and with the characters. One of things I love abo...
First of all, I was beyond excited to see that Rita was alive in this comic book. Her presence was missed greatly by me on the tv show Dexter in the later seasons. I love the dynamic that she has with Dexter. One of the great joys of Dexter's story is watching him interact with his wife and children and try to pretend to understand their human emotions when he really doesn't. That being said, there isn't a whole lot of story in this first comic book in the Dexter series. Dexter is forced by Rita...
I must say that the character of Dexter was one of my most favourite psychopaths ever. He had a strong ethical code, despite not really admitting to that. I enjoyed this and must say, I had to agree with it. Not that I condone murder, but sometimes...you wish someone would take out the 'too hard' to rehabilitate mob. Dexter did that.
Not satisfied by the eight seasons of the TV show? Read these. I just wish they had continued the story after he faked his death in the last episode of the series.
Cuando se estaba poniendo buena la cosa terminó, pero aún así me hizo reír y se me hizo que la forma de ser de Dexter sí concuerda con la de la serie, lo que me sorprendió.
I was really anticipating this mini-series and from what I've read it's going to hold up to my expectations. I wish they would do a full series in graphic novel form, but time will tell! For now it's good and I've got the 2nd and 3rd waiting for me at the comic book store!
A little disappointed with Dexter behaving in such a human fashion.
Although I was nice to have another little glimpse into Dexter's life, I thought it would have been more interesting to see where he goes after the books and/or the TV show. I am a little biased about my idea that it would have been better to have the graphic novel start the story about where Dexter is after the TV show's ending. It was a quick new read, but I didn't feel that attachment to Dexter and all--as I did during the show. It takes place randomly sometime before Rita died and everything...
Big fan of Dexter the TV series so I was immediately interested when the comic series started, the story joins Dexter when he is married to Rita and she is intrigued when Dexter is invited to a school reunion. Rita wants to meet his old school friends, unfortunately its the last place Dexter wants to be and things get worse when the school bully, now a charming and successful business man acts like they are old friends, this can't be especially when Dexter had him tied to a table in the school k...
