For many of us, this adaptation allows us to have our cake and eat it too. The inevitably accurate motto of the novel reading public (of which I'm a loyal member) generally goes something like, "The book is always better." And while Marvel's version of Ender's is probably not an exception to this rule, not everyone can work such a long series into his or her crowded reading schedule.

I was hesitant to pick up this title after concluding that the other Ender's series, Ender's Game, which is out right now, would be a much better read in trade format.

The only factor keeping me from giving this comic an A or higher is because it is not an original story, but rather an adaptation. Read Full Review
