I know that some of you will accuse me of having junior humour, and you’re not exactly wrong! But this was the ONLY adaptation of the WW84 film, and curiosity got me. I don’t know how long the linked review will stay on the internet, but it goes into detail about what is “wrong” with the adaptation. Basically, the story leaves out a lot.
I will disagree on one point. Steve Trevor’s ‘resurrection’ always felt really foolish and verging on the edge of “mind rape,” so this adaptation glossing over it actually makes the story seem better!
As a 149-page retelling this has no addition detail from the film and very frustratingly stops before the film (and story) climax! Maybe they had a hard stop at 150 pages but that doesn’t explain why there are 5 blank pages at the end, then!
No one needs to look this one up unless you are a hardcore WW collector, in which case you already have it.
