The roles the Rampion Crew play in this plot feel consistent with their pre-established characters. As a result, the wandering soldiers create a new pack under Alpha Lysander Steele, who wants vengeance for his forced transformation. However, Iko doesn’t capture every member of each pack. Sending Lunar troops to Earth to capture the soldiers would also violate the treaty, so Cinder sends Iko to track them down. This causes issues for Cinder – the new queen of Luna – since the soldiers’ presence on Earth violates the Earthen-Lunar treaty. After Levanna’s defeat, the wolf-hybrid soldiers she had sent to Earth go rogue, aimlessly attacking citizens across the planet. The main characters should be easily identifiable through the dialogue and art alone.įollowing the events of Winter, the plot of these comics takes a natural step forward from the main books’ conclusion. The author wrote these comics for those who read the original quartet. Iko commenting during scenes which she’s not in not only confused me but also disrupted the flow of the scene. These exposition dumps are unnecessary since the book introduces most of the discussed characters at the beginning of the book.
My only issue with her writing appears in volume one when the author implements black text boxes with Iko’s opinions of certain characters.
Reading a Marissa Meyer book without her immersive narration was an odd adjustment, but, for the most part, the author succeeded in telling a compelling story. His panel layouts, use of spacing, coloring, and the character’s body language make the illustrations look distinct and more expressive. In comparison, Gilpin’s illustrations capture the many tones of Marissa Meyer’s story. Even during scenes without much action, his drawings feel lifeless. Holgate uses the same few perspectives in his illustrations and the same panel layouts, limiting the feeling of movement during fight scenes in volume one.
Though Gilpin was recruited to imitate Holgate’s art style for Gone Rogue, his illustrations and panel formatting surpass his predecessor’s work. The Wires and Nerve comics have different illustrators for each book: Doug Holgate and Stephen Gilpin. Overview: The illustrations compliment Marissa Meyer’s impeccable storytelling. Overview: Great set-up for the second volume of the story, but the lackluster illustrations distract me from the story.ĭate Read: July 25th, 2019 – July 26th, 2019 Number of Books: 2 (sequel companions to The Lunar Chronicles)ĭ ate Read: July 11th, 2019 – July 13th, 2019
Set after the events of The Lunar Chronicles (but before the Stars Above epilogue), feature many of the same characters with Iko as the main protagonist…along with a brand-new villain, and maybe a certain Lunar guard as well.Īge Group: 12+ (little profanity mild violence) Minor spoilers for The Lunar Chronicles and both Wires and Nerve comics.
