Summary: A very good work
Comment: The drawings are very good, and I think that the author captured the gist of Elric's stories, and graphically interpreted the angst of Elric's torn soul. Elric is very similar as I'd have imagined. Only, poor Moonglum is very shabbily portrayed: maybe the authors didn't realize that Moonglum is an image of the author Michael Moorcock who is well bearded.
Anyway, I loved it. And the homophobes who did'nt like Neil Gaiman story can go look at ... bunnies.

Summary: Ranks up there with Kirby
Comment: Unfortunately, I have not read the Elric novels. However, I have read some fantasy and some comics. This comic ranks up there with the best of the titles by the masters of the comics medium. There's a philosophy expressed in every panel and every word balloon. There's also a lot of energy expressed and you can tell Russell loves the Elric stories.
Those of us who love comics will tell you the undisputed master was Jack Kirby. And his New Gods is his masterpiece. This book ranks up there with this work of the King. Every page astonishes.

Summary: Gorgeous!
Comment: This is a sumptuous feast for the eyes. Stormbringor has been adapted in a grand form by one of the comic industry's finest storytellers. P.Craig Russell has never delivered a more beautifully and well designed project in his entire career. Stormbringer is the last of the Elric tales, for the sake of continuity, and he's in fine, tragic form. This adaptation is very close to the novel and it's Russell's patience with the sequential form and his love of the source that shines through. The package is very well done. Good quality paper, cover stock (and awesomely rendered cover art) and wonderful coloring makes this book stand out among what's been passing for graphic novels. In short, this is what a graphic novel should be. I read Stormbringer in my 18th year and loved this ending of the tragic Elric saga. Russell's adaptation is a fine way to read it for the first time, or, the last. Enjoy this one. It's a rare package and well worth the price of admission. Books like this one are the reason I'm still reading comics in my middle age.
