Adaptions are a hard subjects that a few may agree and disagree.
For a long time since the dawn of cinema, many books and novels and other books such as comic books, graphic novels have all being adapted to the big screen. Like all adaptions some are successful while other are completely disappointment of the production. The big problem of adapting something may it be into television, movies, video games, comic books and what else is, how much concept, characters, story can be brought over into something that is fun to read, see and touch.
Now, what great about comic books, graphic novels and manga, that unlike television and movies, they are not limited by either copy rights problems, too many characters that may or cannot be created for the adaption of the version of particular story or budget problem of assets, actors and etc. Graphics and drawing are easier to express emotions, easier to bring to life characters, and evolved better the story, however some adaptions are also... TERRIBLE...
But Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Vol 1 (Which Yen Press released with both Volumes 1 and 2 combined into one omnibus book) is an excellent example of a comic book or a manga can offer of an adaption of video game brought into life.
Our story revolves around three friends, Sora, Riku and Kairi. Childhood friends who lived their life at Destiny Islands and wants to live to see other worlds out there. Of course, nothing is never that simple, especially if you're planning on traveling to another world on a raft. Now as much as I would love telling more of the story, it's better that you either play the game, such as I did back in my childhood, as it is was my first video game I've ever played, or read the manga.
The manga does a great job with the story such as kingdom hearts, do to the fact the pacing and the narration as much as it seems fast, fits, do to the urgency and conflict that brought throughout the game about who and what is responsible and how are we solving this issue. The art is done by Shiro Amano, a game designer and a mangka that many know for his infamous adaption of Legend of Mana manga and Lord of Vermilion game. Shiro Amano works fits perfectly with the funny and crazy and roller-coaster of emotions that kingdom hearts is. His artwork never ceased to amazed and it shouldn't bother you to, cause it contribute so much for the manga and lighten the mood of its reader to read.
Basically, in short terms of words, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Vol 1, is a highly recommendation to any one who has free time to read, or is the fan of series, or just a fan of reading quirky yet excellent comic book. Give it a try, why don'tcha?

I was happy to learn that the one shot of this story got to be picked up as a series. The first issue continues exactly where we last stopped. If you haven't read the previous issue, do it now. This is a fun continuation, showing us where Jughead left after fleeing Betty and Archie finding out he is cursed as a werewolf and he was responsible for all the murders at riverdale. Now he is hiding while Betty and Archie are hunting him. As far as it goes, its fine, the new artwork picks up where the previous artist gone with, but it feels less... I dont know, horrificaly artisitc for me and more cartoonishly grusome?
Anyway, it's a good issue. Go read it!~
