Tenuously a manga, closer to a manhua given its Chinese artist, but commissioned for the movie, it really is the awesome of the movie that drove me to pick it up (as part of that bag of as much as possible for $20 thing). While it sticks pretty close to the movie, it does add and alter some sequences, but for the better. Or it would if they weren’t trying to cover the entire movie in two short volumes. Entire conversations seem to be contracted to a few short sentences, quick moves from scene to scene, and things suddenly happening. Its a nice book to look at, sure, but really, you’re better off watching (the original non-US cut of) the movie, and then maybe taking a peek at this as a mere curiosity. Doubting that the second volume will really improve things, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
