Re-reading these in preparation for the show premier next weekend. I love this story so much I could cry.

Heard about the comics and gave it a shot. Love the graphics. Usually comics give me a migraine. I think the bold lines, small letters, and just the overall clusters on the pages trigger it. Really glad it didn't do it this time. As far as story goes, it isn't bad nor the greatest. It really meets in the middle. I don't like the adults but I also don't like how Neil had the adults handle it.
Yes I know it isn't supposed to be a good place. Blah blah. I just didn't care for it. Also Riley and Ellie's start was... not up to what I expected it to be. Still good but not as great.

What a fucking joke and waste Of time. Rushed "plot" if can call it that. Uninspired art and I think "fuck" is used at least twice a page because hey that makes it "gritty"

Reviewing all 4 volumes over here. Contains some mild spoilers if you haven't played The Last of Us yet.
The comic really doesn't stand well on its own if you haven't played the game that is. The story's a prequel set before the events of the game where we get to see Ellie befriending her eventual best friend Riley for the first time. To my disappointment, we don't get to witness the events leading up to Ellie's and Riley's infection. Instead we are treated to a story where the duo go around being rebellious, seriously lacking in the emotional punch that is so ever present in the game. Overall, its not a bad book with some really good artwork. Its just not a must read for TLoU fans at the end of the day.
