When the Twolegs destroy the warrior Clans' forest home, Graystripe—second in command of ThunderClan—is captured trying to help his comrades escape! Trapped in the pampered life of a kittypet, Graystripe has all the food and shelter he needs from his affectionate Twoleg family, but this is not the way he wants to live. The forest is calling him, and he never stops longing to go home. When he makes friends with a feisty kittypet named Millie, she encourages him to go in search of his lost friends. But will Graystripe ever find his way back to the Clan?
Graystripe+Manga= .... Everyone loves the Warriors series ( at least, they should ). When I saw the preview for this comic book, I wasn't really that excited. I wasn't in to manga, so who cares? One of my friends lent me the book ( if he's reading this now, I thank him )one morning in school, and I finished it within half-an-hour. Let me get down to the basics: On the cover of this comic book, and I'm sure many other Warriors fans agree, there is a picture of Graystripe. What's with him? He looks evil almost, half of him hidden in the shadows, these sharp, cold eyes, and this pointy hairdo which looks like it popped off of a rock star and jumped on Grayytripe's head. I thought Graystripe to be kind looking and gentle- not this guy. Secondly, Brightheart in the books got one whole half of her head ripped off. In this comic, her eye is just closed. WHAT???? Thirdly, who ever illistrated- James Barry, I think - made Millie have this really odd M on her head, like he was labeling her even though we already knew her. Graystripe and Millie fell in love way too fast, too. why does he abandon Silverstream for this dumb she-cat? In the actual books, Millie is tough and smart, but in the comics she's afraid of everything and stupid. The plot is okay, but not great. It all happens to fast. And Feathertail looks very queer in this comic- she has a sort of flip of hair on her head. Very weird. Not to mention the thick eyelashes on every she-cat. Anyways, it's good to borrow the book from a good friend, then give it back after half an hour. I hope this helped, Moonwhsiker
Warriors Manga is awesome. Everyone says its too short but... isn't that why there are 3 of them? I loved this book. It was awesome. The pictures are drawn wonderfully and you get to see what happened to Graystripe. I was in the mall when I bought this book, and when I started reading it, it was so good I had to rush back to the bookstore and get the second one.
Beware! My daughter was horribly disappointed when she got this book in today. She is a fast reader and was looking forward to another Warrior book. Too bad I didn't know what "manga" meant. I have since looked it up and it is Japanese comic book art work. I wish the description paragraph about the book would have stated it was a comic book. I didn't understand the reference to "teenage humans with kitty ears." Now I do. What a waste of money if you want to read, not look at pictures.
Definatly not manga..... First of all, I have been a fan of the Warriors series for a long time now, and I was excited to hear that a new book was coming out about Graystripe. After buying this book, I was extremely disappointed. In the summary they say that this book is a manga book. Manga is Japanese. This is English. I am a huge fan of manga books and I find it terrible that they call this manga, it is and insult. I finished this book in less then fifteen minutes, and the drawings, I'm sorry to say, are terrible. This is supposed to be a book about warriors. In the written series, Erin Hunter describes the battles with blood and fierceness. In this book, the battles don't even leave a scratch on the cats. The cats are drawn way to cute for warriors. It's better to let your imagination decide what happened to Graystripe, and not read this book.
WHAT'S WITH GRAYSTRIPE'S PICTURE??! It's terrible! Graystripe does NOT have bushy eyebrows. Graystripe does NOT have fiery eyes. Graystripe does NOT have a mean snarl on his face! They messed up our mental pictures. He's not supposed to look like a skinny ragtag street tom! He's supposed to look like a large, strong, nice tom! What's up with that? :(
