WOW!!! Can’t believe how much the film was the same as the comic even down to the words and the looks of the characters, very detailed artwork and well paced story with memorable lines.

I found it hard, particularly at the beginning, before characters’ iconography had been established, to tell exactly what I was looking at a lot of the time. But then, is it not hard to tell what’s happening in the insane chaos of war? I wish things had been easier to make out on the page, but I still very much enjoy this for what it is, which is a tremendous adaptation of one of the most compelling episodes in Herodotus’ Histories, that embellishes just enough to elevate history to a thrilling story, while still keeping quite close to the sources we have on Sparta and the 300. An easy recommendation, to be sure!

Like the movie, this comic is less about characters and more about badass art. It still gets 4 stars though, because the artwork is *really* badass.

Impressive artwork and a succinct and thoroughly badass story. BUT I JUST WANT MORE.

Es la historia de la invasión de parte del rey/dios Xerxes a Esparta. Los espartanos, como buenos soldados, no se dejan disuadir y van a recibirlos.
