Engaging, but Short!

I expected this to be the same length as the comics I used to read as a kid. In THAT sense, I was sorely disappointed. But despite this, the artwork was good and the story very captivating. If I had paid $.99 for this instead of $1.99, I would have given this five stars. Not enough meat on the bone here.

This was alright. I love the original Splintercell games, and I recently heard that a new remake is in the works, along with a Netflix show. Got excited for this story again and grabbed this one up over the weekend. It was pretty fun but not amazing. I probably won’t get into volume 2 but it looks like this series is worth a look if you’re into Splintercell.
