Nice adaption of the movie.

Hard to fault it - the story is told and shown, not a lot of room for change. ( )

I know this is an adaptation of the film, but when it is a word for word, scene for scene rehash with absolutely nothing new added, the redundancy of the project becomes wildly apparent. I guess I just expect to have something new added in to make it worth my time and money. I probably won't be picking up any future adaptations if they are this one dimensional. ( )

Chuck Wendig's adaptation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens faithfully adapts the plot of the film to the comic book medium. Wendig successfully navigates the line between narration/dialogue and letting the visual medium tell the story when necessary. His trust in the artists pays off as the art by Like Ross and Marc Laming not only conveys the visuals of the film, but creates a sense of action and drama to suit Wendig's script. Ross's splash of Han Solo remembering his past is pure poetry in picture form. Those who enjoyed the film will find plenty to love in this Marvel Comics adaptation while those seeking clues to the future of the saga might notice that Luke Skywalker is referred to as "The Last Jedi" twice, once with Supreme Leader Snoke saying, "The droid will soon be delivered to the Resistance...leading them to the Last Jedi. If Skywalker returns, the New Jedi will rise" (issue 3). This may simply be Wendig's scripting, but it could also be a reference to the forthcoming The Last Jedi. Marvel's hardcover book will look good on the shelf with both graphic novels and other star wars novels. ( )
