A very interesting retelling of Romeo and Juliet, this time with augmented human beings and large fire power. The Imagery is beautiful, although I think Julie followed stereotypes a bit too well--- as for Romeo, I would have expected him to look more ethinic. Not necessary any specific race, just not a white adult male. As I read through this graphic novel - I initially had a hard time getting my head around this re-worked Verona, and the large amount of violence. By the end of the book, I remembered the original Will Shakespeare's work to realize that Romeo and Juliet is a romance with a large amount of Death - this book stays true to the story. Also, there are parts of this story where I wanted to slap a character and for acting so stupid! But, that is how the original play went and without changing the story, there was no way to get around the stupid bits. My only thing is that I think the circamstances to the ending are changed---- I think the original ending should have been worked in to the book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Bard's tale gets a light SF makeover, with the Montagues and the Capulets being two clans of genetically-engineered soldiers who turn to fighting each other after a long war against the empire of Verona's external enemies. There's an overabundance of fight scenes at the expense of the love story/tragedy, but there are some nice touches of humour, and the CG illustrations are fairly stunning. ( )
