Pretty goodOk, let me get this out of the way: the artwork for Nimitz is bad. He is WAY too big. I cannot image that animal riding on any shoulders. It looks like trying to carry around a Labrador on your shoulder! I know Webber has said that creating Nimitz for the future movies has been a nightmare, and they are using the comics as a testing ground. My feeling is that the first test is a failure, if you are trying to follow the books. But if you divorce yourself from the books, he might just w...
I loved this one soooo much!! From the plot to the stunning art, everything was perfect!! You will get fully invested in the story and you won't feel like there is something missing because it has only 40 pages or less. I can't wait to read the next one and I really want the book series!!!
(Read in physical form)What's about?It's the first book in the Honor Harrington series as a graphic novel. Told from a point of view in the future, Honor Harrington reflects on her life. This story is about how Harrington got her first command, discovered a conspiracy by Haven to seize control of a planet, and thwarted the plan (but started a war).What did I think?The art was pretty good. Story was alright. Not amazing.
Supposedly a comic book adaption of the first book, it uses book 7 as a frame. The info dumping is here. It's okay. Nimtz was drawn in an interesting way.
Good for people who are already fans, not so good for newcomers, I think. I also didn’t expect to have a minor fangirl moment in the ancillary info section where it turns out that Linda and Stjepan Sejic both did cover variants.Edited to add: this does Nimitz so dirty though. Wtf is that design choice????
Fantastic Fantasy!Enjoyed learning about this character. I look forward to the next book. I'm hoping there is much more action in it.
Having read a number of Honorverse novels and short stories, I was initially quite skeptical about these graphic presentations of the story. After picking up the first volume I quickly became absorbed into to the familiar story, and reckon that I'd enjoy it even more if the story was new to me. Some of the pictorial depictions were a surprise, especially Honor's treecat Nimitz. I imagined him a little more 'cat-like' and cuddly, not the more aggressive looking creature that we see. However, I so...
Honor Goes VisualHaving been a fan of Honor Harrington for almost twenty years, I both yearned for and dreaded any attempt to change her primary medium...the printed word.Brava! to TopCow for nailing it in one.
I like what they did framing the story, with Honor thik=nking back on her posting at Basilisk Station.And overall the art is beautiful.I just didn't like the art the went with for Nimitz - he looks more like a cross between a 6-legged lizard & a shark than a fluffy treecat.
A mixed bag. I've read most of the original Honorverse novels, and they seem reasonably well-suited to comic adaptations (particularly On Basilisk Station and In Enemy Hands, which this comic series skips between).On the upside - the adaptation seems fairly faithful, the intercutting of stories works perfectly fine as a narrative device, and Honor Harrington is still a great protagonist. While her look is different from how she usually appeared in cover art, I quite like it.Downsides - the art i...
Tightly scripted. Nice art. Good characterization. Heavier on the philosophy than the action. I prefer more action in my sci-fi, especially when it's a comic book.
I have never read any of the original books of this series, i only heard about it when the comic came out. But this book is amazing! If your a star trek fan you will love this! What i like about this book is if you never read the novels this book does a great job of introducing you to the honorverse and the back story. The story is great the art is spectacular! Buy this book now!
That's not a tree catI hope this isn't the final form they are going to use for the tree cats. writing wasn't great but the animation looked good. it's fun seeing it drawn but not even close to as good as the book. you've really got to be an honor fan to appreciate this. I doubt it will bring in many new readers.
I bought it as i love the Honor books, sometimes i think it is better to leave it to imagination
this is a 'comic' version of David Weber's "On Basilisk Station", more or less. i enjoyed it, but of course it did not match MY vision. but it added to my overall appreciation, so i'm glad i read it.
Interesting Interesting take on one of my favorite series. , a Pritchard to read on a kindle but still worth reading
The Honorverse is going multimedia! This comic represents the first of several new mediums that Honor Harrington will occupy, culminating in a feature film slated for 2018.Tales of Honor #1 re-tells the story of On Basilisk Station with some really cool artwork that will eventually serve as concept art for the film, which is very exciting.
While this is titled "On Basilisk Station", it should properly be called "In Enemy Hands" since Honor has been captured and in undergoing interrogation by Havenite political police. Reliving her first command as part of her means of withstanding interrogation and torture is an effective way of telling us her story. I only hope that the transition to retelling 'The Honor of the Queen' will not be too disjointed after this arc is finished.
I was not drawn into this story at all and I did not care for the characters. The artwork was good when it was of space and space ships, but the people look like they're in a computer game. I'd give this a pass unless you're a fan of the novels, then you might like it anyway. But if you're coming into it fresh, I'd suggest not wasting your time.
Honor in colorOkay, I admit being a fan of Honor and Mr. Weber since discovering the Honorverse oh so many years ago. This is decidedly different. Different than I imagined (but that is a very normal thing), but also a bit different than the original book. Slightly so.Nimitz is way more big and huge in these pictures. He also looks more like a spellbound than a treecat. But perhaps that's just me ;-)Try the first book and decide for yourself if you want to see pictures of a favorite character. I...
