The final battle of the book also gave me visuals I never had while reading the books - showing the collateral damage of burning bodies falling from the staircase as Visser 3 chased the kids.
I was upset at one missing Marco scene - where he snaps at Jake about his "perfect family". But, aside from that one, I think this comic covered the novel very well, story-wise.
Also, Chris Grine's taxxons are incredibly cute.

The spreads are beautiful and the only complaint I have about the character design is that they didn't give Marco his long hair.
As for the adaptation, it's a very faithful one. There's a couple of minor changes in relation to the books here and there (mainly the omission of the "idiot teenagers with a death wish" phrase which made me sad, not gonna lie) but I ended up happy with it. Hope it ushers in a new generation of Animorphs fans and hope we get to see the entire series in this format!
