I couldn't get through this one. It was just a poor adaptation of the novel. Read the book and skip this. All of the nuance is missing.

3.0

Overall, I thought this covered the majority of the main plot points from the book, with the exception of the ending (involving the Hive Queen). The artwork was adequate, and I did enjoy the graphic novel quite a bit. With that said, I certainly would not recommend reading this without having read the book. You won't get enough out of it.

I was mostly disappointed with the scenes in the battle room, but my real problem with the graphic novel was the same problem I had with the movie: So much of the original book focuses on the thoughts and inner headspace of Ender Wiggin, and a great deal of that is lost in these adaptations.
