Rodney L Barnes has had the privilege to accomplish so much in a short time on Earth. At the age of forty-two and surviving a major traumatic brain injury, writing and publishing the book, My Miracle outlines and talks about experiences he had undergone that might contribute to the events in your life. From past to present, he had learned how to accept what life has to offer, not struggle with life. He was raised on the principles of ordinary life, take nothing for granted! Rodney now clearly understands those principles of living because of his development. Through events of his life, the accident, coma, and relearning life at twenty-one years of age, he has to give all these accomplishments to the Lord Jesus Christ. Rodney is praying for his book to get into the hands of people who need a source of comfort, strength, or knowledge to learn more how strong and powerful Jesus Christ is and can be. Visit him at Facebook.com/mymiraclethemovie and together, we all can help each other understand the meaning of life.
This is basically ❝The Mandalorian❞ TV series made into a comic, and a summary of each episode from ❝The Mandalorian❞ is made into a comic issue, and there are no new stories in it.
Don’t read it if you haven’t watched the TV series first, if you don’t want to see all of the spoilers.
Grogu is the cutest character and one of the best if not the best character in the TV series, and the TV series is definitely worth watching only for his cuteness. The comic version of Grogu could definitely be cuter and it sadly doesn’t live up to the cuteness of Grogu in the TV series.
"It was okay / I liked it." - 2.5 star rating, rounded up to a 3.
So... yeah, this is another 'adaptation' series, aka a 1:1 copy of the original content (film/show) just translated into comic book form. I feel like that should be part of the title to be fair and set expectations to readers. "Star Wars: The Mandalorian Comic Book Adaptation (2022-2023)"... there, fixed.
The biggest issue with these adaptions is pacing. Unless you are going to do a 30+ issue comic book series, these are naturally forced to go at a drastically faster rate than their big screen counterparts. This is no different, feeling like its flying by at 3x speed.
As a huge Mandalorian fan who has watched the show 3 times now at the time of this review, so much key dialog and crucial content is missing from this issue... hard for me to give this above a 3. I get it though - this is how comic adaptations go.
The pacing here is whacky for sure. It starts off feeling really good - quite possibly even great for the first half. The whole pre-prison break mission build-up and was really in synch... but then at the end it just explodes by at lightning speed, really pulling this back down to at least a 2.5.
Again... they artwork continues to lack consistency. Some images are so beautiful I want to immortalize it forever within my phone via digital storage... other sections are so bad I could do better and I am the farthest thing from an artist. I find this painfully unacceptable in a 2022-2023 comic, where some of the 1970-1980 comics had more love, care, and attention than some of the crap seen here.
I probably should round this down to a 2, but my love for the Mandalorian is creating a self admitted unfair bias to instead round up.
The book was ok. The artwork was great, but the encapsulated story moved at such a pace, that had you not watched the episode, you would have been lost in the fast pace. I would prefer original stories over ones that I already know n
