Metroid is a two-volume comic written by Kouji Tazawa and drawn by Kenji Ishikawa and published by Magazine X from November 2003 to May 2004. It was created as the backstory of the Metroid series.
Status
I don't own this comic, but I have read the first volume.
Review
Good
- A lot of the drawings in the comic are really nice, especially the action sequences.
Bad
- The story is pretty juvenile and trope-heavy.
- I don't care much for the character design of Samus as an adult.
- How is it a group of pirates are often more powerful than the entire Federation's military? I get that they have Mother Brain to guide them, but they were practically annihilated, and very quickly become powerful enough to take on a multi-planet federation.
- A lot of characters were added that don't appear in any of the games.
- The chibi art tossed in with the blood and action only serves to remind you that you're reading something for kids.
Ugly
- Nothing, but I didn't find it very interesting.
