Title: This is NOT a comic . . .
Review: I'm writing in response to the previous reviewer, who complained that a lot of dialogue, etc. had been cut from the film in order to fit the story into comic form. Unfortunately, he or she has obviously reviewed the wrong item, as this version of Mask of the Phantasm is a full-fledged paperback novel, NOT a comic or illustrated book! It contains lots of the original movie dialogue--plus a whole lot more, including some clever explanations left out of the film. (Can you tell that I loved it?) The author also adapted several of the batman animated TV shows (Shadows of the Past, Dual to the Death, The Dragon and the Bat). Wish they'd do more of these.
Is the review positive or negative?
