Great Quality Comic from the Pages of Nintendo Power!
by Wang Chung -
Great comic book from Nintendo Power! Great photo-quality paper and vivid colors. The book is about 8" by 11" which makes for easy reading. Also contains the bonus comic adaptation of Super Mario Land 2, also by Charlie Nozawa and Kentaro Takekuma.
P.S. - VIZ! Please consider printing the Super Metroid, StarFox, and Captain N comics as well! And try to get the Valiant Nintendo comics, too!
Adventures to Remember
by Andrew
When someone says there has never been a good adaptation of a video game into a full-fledged story, point them this way. It's easily the best of the comics Nintendo Power featured back in the day and is a fun and engaging story for anyone, Mario fan or not. All the familiar faces are there-- Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, the Koopalings, and Yoshi, plus a few new characters that actually work for the story and don't detract like many original, source-independent add-ons do in video game adaptations. The writing is lighthearted but smooth and natural, and the art vibrant, beautiful, and completely done with traditional media (real ink, paints, pencils, and real paper). Highly recommend.
