![]() ![]() Hmmm wonder what color Ax will get when he shows up? ) It didn’t occur to me immediately that Grine assigned a specific color to each of the 5 kids thought-speak bubbles (Jake=orange, Rachel=red, Marco=brown, Cassie=purple, Tobias=green), but Grine did a good job placing those speech bubbles either on or right next to the specific morphs, making it easier to keep track of who the thoughts belonged to. ![]() ![]() The explanations for how morphing worked, and the ability to communicate telepathically (thought-speak) was done well for a visual medium. I loved how it was kept largely vague as to any period indications, since the series started in the 90s, but didn’t include anything that would be terribly out of place in either the 90s or today. As far as I can recall, Grine is faithful to the overall story of the book. Having not read the books in years, it was fun to read and remember as the story progressed. The art is colorful and vivid, and it was so wild seeing not just the kids illustrated but the Taxxons, Hork-Bajir, and of course, Andalites!
