Customer Reviews

Collection including bonus
The first five issues in this book were originally published individually. Issue six has not been previously published and is only available in this collected volume.
The illustrations are beautiful and vibrant, transporting the reader directly into the grandeur as well as the detail of the story. The character portrayals are consistent with those found in the original novel these comics are based on (Legend of Huma, Dragonlance Heroes Vol. 1). Both Huma and his wizard companion Magius are immortalized in this story, to be forever revered within their world.
Unfortunately, due to disagreements the series was cut short before the completion of the story. It's still highly enjoyable, though, especially for fans of the original story or the Dragonlance world in general.

Disappointing. Stick with the Original.
I enjoy graphic novels and am a big fan of the Dragonlance series, and in particular Richard Knaak's "The Legend of Huma"-- so much that I probably would have purchased this regardless of the reviews. But I have to admit that this collection of six Dragonlance comics, which tell/depict (part of) Huma's story left me disappointed. The six issues end abruptly taking you through barely half the novel. The dialogue stays true to Knaak's version, but the art does not always keep up and unless you know the story really well you will get confused from time to time. The artists also change at will, in mid-issue even, and the quality is inconsistent. This is a wonderful story and should translate well into the graphic novel medium, but this collection of stories does not do Knaak's novel justice. Even for Dragonlance/Huma fans, I recommend passing on this edition.
