Very good bunch of Indiana Jones stories. A mixture of fun storylines, nice graphics and visits from old friends make for good reading time exploring Indy's further archaeological adventures. I always enjoy time spent with Indy in any way, shape or form.
Really enjoyed.
This omnibus, published in 2008, collects together three “long-out-of-print” stories (originally published individually) and does it very well, with excellent reproductions and glorious colour. The first story, “Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis”, written by William Messner-Loebs, Dan Barry and Mike Richardson with art by Barry, is based on the LucasArts game developed by Hal Barwood. Enjoyable enough, with great illustrations, it’s far too busy for its own good (our heroes are constantly z...
The Indiana Jones Omnibus Volume 1 contains three Indiana Jones adventures from Dark Horse comics, with varying degrees of quality. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is poor. It tried so hard to seem like an Indiana Jones adventure, that it forgot to [u:]be[/u:] an Indiana Jones adventure. It isn't an auspicious beginning for the Omnibus, but since it is the most famous of Indy's comic book (and video game) adventures, it is the obvious choice.Indiana Jones and the Thunder in the Orient is
You know that hackneyed scene in rom-coms where one half of a broken-up couple presses their face into the sweatshirt or some other garment of clothing (NOT including undergarments here, you pervs) of their lost love in a vain attempt to remember what it’s like to be close to them? It’s obviously an exceedingly poor substitute for being with that person—I mean, they’re basically suffocating themselves with a 50-50 poly-cotton blend—but scent is such a strong memory trigger that, if only for the
I had forgotten all about Dark Horse's forays into the INDIANA JONES mythos until I saw this omnibus solicited. This was a GREAT reminder how much fun this adventure adaptation was back in the day. There are three tales collected within. THE FATE OF ATLANTIS is actually the most uneven of them even though it's the most popular one (adapted from a Lucasfilm PC game). With three writers on the 4-issue series, that's no surprise. There is a lot of corny dialogue and some inconsistent storytelling h...
So. boring. The nonstop action is completely mind-numbing, if that makes any sense. Constant gunfights, intrigue, and inconsequential/unexplained changes of location make this just a mess of ....stuff happening. But nothing I could ever care about, and no reason why I should.
I've read both Indiana Jones Omnibuses from Dark Horse Comics which collect the Dark Horse Comics stories so now I'm ready to write my reviews! As so many reviewers have done, I will individually critique each story in this volume. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis- The comic book adaptation of the acclaimed game is a bit disappointing. Firstly, the plot jumps across too many different locations (New York, then Berlin, then Iceland, then the Azores, then Mexico, then Spain, then Russia, the...
Some antiquated material here, but they got the tone right at least.
Ok this was the fulfilment of a long standing wish of mine - so don't judge me (ok not too much at least). The Indiana Jones movies are some of my all time favourite films, as they sum up to me all the mystery and thrill of hollywood meeds pulp adventure - so when I saw there were comics which continued Indiana's adventures I was thrilled and eager to read them. Yes they are expensive, their artwork varying in quality and the story lines sadly lack at times - the three standalone stories in this...
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was a blast from the past. I remember playing this game on PC way back in the day. I was struggling to remember the plot before diving into this and the comic did very little to bring much of it back to mind. Indy discovers the secrets of Atlantis and races to stop the Nazi's from gaining a deadly weapon. This adventure had some very "Indy moments", but largely fell flat as a story. I think much of that was due to all the puddle jumping the characters went
fun graphically illustrated adventures of Indy
This omnibus of Indiana Jones comics from Dark Horse presents three enjoyable stories. The first story is the old "can we discover Atlantis" chesnut. The second story involves a search for original teaching of Buddha, as dictated centuries ago. A search for an Incan artifact is the plot for the third story. The stories are well written, and the art work is great. Guns, fiesty woman, a handy whip, and Indy's wise guy attitude are all here. Well worth reading.
This was a fun quick read! It had a total of 3 stories in it. The forst 2 were great! The third one was a bit under developed and at times didnt make a lot of sense but over all it was still a fun read for Indiana Jones fans! Hoping i can find the next volumes somewhere !
These were just sad even for being written in the early 90's. Can't we modernize Indy a bit, er, a lot from now on?
3.5 stars rounded up because some Indy is better than no Indy.
Published to coincide with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, the Indiana Jones Omnibus #1 collected together three adventures that were originally released as mini series by Dark Horse in the 1990s.In Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a break-in at the university leads Indy to a forgotten relic from his first expedition and an old colleague, Sophia Hapgood, who now makes a living as a psychic. Indy and Sophia are soon on the run from the Nazis as, aided by...
Nothing is going to feel like the films, but it can still be hard to separate these comics from the iconic original trilogy, and judge them on their own merit. They're entertaining enough, with plenty of globe-hopping and lost artifacts. Some of the plots seemed needlessly complicated, but the art was pretty solid throughout.
The first two stories are excellent (especially the one about Atlantis), but I didn't really care for the third story about the Arms of Gold - and I really didn't like the artwork in that one. Overall this graphic novel was very enjoyable, albeit very expensive because it's out of print and hard to track down.
