“If you’re a discerning graphic novel reader who wants a
much richer experience than what one usually expects from the medium, pick up Prince
of Persia — you’re in for a treat.” – Critical Mass
“LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland . . . depict all the book’s
swords fights, courtly intrigues, romantic interludes and lucid dreamscapes
with a style that evokes Middle Eastern art and design while retaining the
vibrancy of modern action cartoons.” –
“The book is not a simple action-adventure, however, but
instead tells two intertwining stories of love, death, betrayal, and fate
Liefeld
“It’s an amazingly well constructed story, one that manages
to withhold bits of important information until the precise moment where their
revelation will have the greatest impact.” – Every Day is Like a Wednesday
After purchasing a copy of this book at SDCC, this is what I wrote on my blog:
“*Prince of Persia: The Graphic Novel* by game developer Jordan Mechner, author A.B. Sina, and artists LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland, available from :01 First Second Books, completely seduced me. I’ve never played the video game, though I’m fascinated by it’s artistry. But this book is simply beautiful, and I had to–HAD TO–get it. It’s elegant and nuanced and compelling–everything a good book should be–AND it’s a graphic novel. If this thing doesn’t win awards of some kind, the jury’s fixed.”
In other words, you’re preaching to the choir. Congrats on the great reviews!
