 Rating: - A decent adaptationIt is a common secret, I believe, that film-to-comic adaptations are shallow in ways of storytelling but in the artwork field things are completing different.

It only took me a half hour to read the comic (my lunch break), but I could've spent hours pouring over the pages. Since everyone knows what this is about, I'm not going to waste my time talking about the plotline. The artwork is pretty nice for a movie to comic adaptation & the artists really do try to keep the characters looking as close to their real counterparts as possible (although they do smooth ...
