NightRender 07/04/20 11:52:43 AM #8:	Also, the graphic novel is a pretty easy read even if you're not used to reading comics, since it keeps a easy, steady grid layout 99% of the time.

Foppe 07/04/20 12:08:29 PM #9:	The graphical novel got a much bigger character and world building which is impossible to fit in a single movie. So they had to change and remove stuff for the movie. The movie itself is pretty good for most parts, especially for being a comic book adaption, but the graphical novel is so much better. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

The movie isn't bad (debatably) but a lot of concepts from the novel are covered at a breakneck pace. The movie is well worth watching but you'll enjoy it more if you read the comic first. Then see the movie.
