Summary: Don't buy this edition
Comment: If you are an Elfquest fan, then I have to say that this is one of the worst values for the money and should be avoided. Elfquest is an old comics standard and this must be the fourth re-colored edition out there. It is also the worst. To describe the work as day-glo would be an understatement and at $50 I can not only say I was utterly disappointed in the quality of the coloring, I did not think the book was value for the money, especially considering the prices one can get on used, earlier editions of the same material. The original Donning colored editions are hand painted and subtle and are classics. This edition has all the earmarks of a beginner at photoshop: it is garish, over-rendered and simply ugly. I am extremely disappointed. I am keeping my Donning editions at hand and do not feel compelled to buy any further EQ editions. After the crashing disappointments of multiple comics reprints in different color editions, then the cheap, tawdry black and white reprints with their muddy execution, I have decided to just retain the first four volumes and not continue with this series which is simply not aging well at all.

Summary: To Elfquest fans
Comment: If you're one of those readers who grew up with Elfquest and madly collected all the original hardbound color editions (er, like me), you might be asking yourself, "Is it worth it to get the new edition when I've already got the old?"
The answer is abso-freakin-lutely yes. The colors in this are just phenomenal. If you thought Leetah was goregous before, you're gonna be blown away now! And if you ever admired Skywise's smooth chest, wait until you see him in full, vibrant, practically living color. Roooooowr.
Wendy Pini's smooth, professional coloring puts modern day over-coloring, over-glittering to shame. She has the perfect touch, much like an elf who gently molds a tree into a perfect sculpture.

Summary: A Fabulous New Version of an Old Favorite
Comment: I've been an ElfQuest fan for years (since I was six years old, in fact), and so I've already come to expect the best from EQ. But this new DC edition of book one far exceeded even my expectations and completely blew me away! The new coloring is so rich and fantastic that when I finally closed it, I was a bit disappointed to see the rather drab colors or real life again. Wendy Pini's artwork is so stunning on its own that simple black-and-white would be beautiful, and so when you add in the new colors you end up with dazzelingly brilliant art. And quite besides the pictures, the story is a strong, meaningful, and enduring one that I have loved for as long as I can remember, and which I find a new reason to admire every time I re-read it. If you're an old ElfQuest fan hesitating to buy material you may already have in another edition, I strongly urge you to go for it. This new edition is worth every penny. If you're new to ElfQuest, you couldn't ask for a better introduction.
