I really love this graphic novel, The art and the story made this awesome book come alive, This is a Good Read. P.S. If you have not ever read a comic book This entire "enderverse" series would be a great place to try one. Books are great but sometimes comics are fun too, You see in a glance at a picture what may take the author pages to describe, Comic move right in to the story. They are the next best thing to seeing your favorite books on the big screen. Yes some stuff gets edited out but rea...

Oops - I thought this was a different book until I was almost finished. I meant to read "Ender's Game: Command School", which is from Ender's perspective. I didn't notice this was Ender's Shadow, which is from Bean's perspective.

The art is sooo much better than in Ender's Game: Battle School.

another great installment in this series - i really can't wait to get my hands on the next one. i do wonder if the writers/artists will be able to pull it off since what is to come isn't as exciting as what happened in battle and command school.since i read this right after reading 'ender's game: command school', i noticed immediately that the artwork was grittier, which translates well with the gist of the story. bean's story has a rawness to it because of his background; he is brilliant, but h...

This tale focuses on one of Ender's eventual lieutenants, Bean, who grows up in the slums and is eventually singled out for his brilliant mind at an incredibly young age. Bean takes a non traditional approach to dealing with the slums as well as Battle School.It's a nice angle on Bean which wasn't covered in the first Orson Scott Card novel. The artwork is grittier especially in the slum sections of the tale.The script was by Mike Carey with a number of artists including Sebastian Fiumana and Gi...

***** Must Read**** Excellent*** Good** At Your Own Risk* I’ve surely missed the point here

A point of view from one of Ender's good friends, Bean details how Ender choose strategy and action not based on the size of his own troops but on where the enemy is located. In the second edition to the Ender's Game series Orson Scott Card does not let us down.

This is the graphic novel adaptation of a book that tells a story that's parallel to the second half of Ender's Game (a novel) or Ender's Game, Volume 2: Command School (a graphic novel). It is told from the perspective of one of Ender's lieutenants, Bean.And because of the way that this book (and the one that came before it, Ender's Shadow: Battle School) casts light to certain aspects of the "main" story of Ender, I would suggest you not read these Shadow-books before reading the complete s...

Bean's origins are clarified, and his fate is decided. Right alongside the fate of two sentient species...The juxtaposition of Bean and Ender finally comes to full fruition in this installment. And it becomes more obvious that while Bean actually possesses the superior intellect and deductive capacity, Ender has gotten a firmer grasp on the kind of social skills and charisma needed in an effective leader. Though Bean does remain in Ender's proverbial shadow, some crucial parts of him grow to fit...

I read this because we started watching Ender's Game while at Kelly & Matt's. We didn't finish the movie but I liked what I saw. While perusing some audio books at the library for my car trip to SC I found this and thought it might be good. I started the trip with a romance, couldn't stand it, and then started the audio for this one and it was great. They had a cast of voices and each person who read the book was fantastic. It really passed the time quickly as I drove. Once I got home I continue...

Best comic of the series, thus far. For the fist time, the addition of art really added to the story as Fiumara's beautifully portrayed the 'simulator' in Command School. Actually seeing what Card had in mind while writing about Command School was certainly a treat!

That was fun! Ender's Shadow might be my favourite book of the two series, and it was neat to see it recreated in graphic novel format.That said, I'm not sure this second volume translates as well as the first, Ender's Shadow: Battle School. Too many characters, too many plot threads, and where it was still easy to follow in volume 1, I'm not convinced that this one would be clear to someone who hadn't already read the novel(s).

The events seen in Ender's Command School series are seen with focus on Bean, the one who is considered Ender's alternative, and the teacher's thoughts and teaching methods. This offers brand new perspectives on the story and more insight into what determined the teacher's to act the way they do.Bean goes through many hardships and challenges while in Ender's Dragon Army, but each one improves him as a soldier and then a leader. The sister who cared for him finds that he has a brother in battle

A fitting conclusion to the complementary book Ender's Shadow. The art and style of the characters was immersive and enjoyable. The developing relationships between the main characters is also great.

Jonathan DorseyPeriod 44/13/14Review of Ender’s Shadow: Command School The graphic novel Ender’s Shadow: Command School (written by Orson Scott Card) is a science fiction graphic novel taking place in the near future, perhaps 100 years from now. In this society, Earth was attacked by aliens called “Formics” and humans barely managed to repel their attacks and defend Earth. In order to stop another invasion, the government formed “battle schools” that taught gifted kids how to strategize and figh...

Another solid installment. There were a few nice connections between this comic and the Ender's Game comics, but there were also a few elements of the plot that went underdeveloped. That's my major ding.I really enjoyed the end of this book, and hope that Marvel decides to pursue the rest of the Shadow series. The story arch would lend itself to a graphic novel adaptation. I'd definitely pick up any additional ones that are created. ***** Just remember if you read this without reading the book t...

Interesting but there's only one Ender.

Great art, a truly satisfying compliment to the Ender's game novel series. I downloaded these to my ipad, and it was almost exactly how I had envisioned the settings and people in my head. The covers of these books dont do them justice, the art inside is much, much better, in my opinion. I was very excited by this series, as Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead have been some of my absolute favorite stories for years now. Bean is a BAD ASS!

This book is excelent,wonderfull and engaging

Still an interesting visual interpretation of the book. Not perfectly happy with how they recreated the battles, but it works I suppose. Still nice how they made sure to include a lot of dialog from the original book.I did like the art a bit more now compared to Battle School even though it was the same artist. The representation of Ender here was much closer to how I imagined him compared to Ender's Game Battle School and Command School.
