    I recall reading the entire thing as a child and I wanna reread it again because it calls me. I remember it was so good and I feel it would be nostalgic.

      @ftloc  Před 3 lety +4

      I get the feeling you will not be disappointed - this is one of those series that is as appealing to adults as it is to kids, and I would not be surprised if you found your love and appreciation for the comic actually increasing with a re-read. But I don't want to jinx it; do let me know what you thought if you do take a new look!

    I’m a bit late to comment this, but I thank you for making this.
    I remember watching my brother first show me them when I was quite young. I could barely read and I’d just go through them... And it was still an amazing comic. When I found it at my school library when I was in third grade, I was so happy. I read all of them and read them again the next year.I’m trying to get enough money right now to get that 1300 page full book of the series.
    I thank you for this review, because your quite the small channel. All of your work on comics deserve much more attention.
    Thank you.

    Bone has long been one of my favorite series. I have the color editions, the black and white editions, the One Volume edition, and I have given the One Volume editions to all of my nephews as Christmas gifts over the years!

    • @ftloc
      @ftloc  Před 3 lety

      I am exactly the same way (as you can tell by this playlist here) and have as many editions of Bone as I could get my hands on. Extending the similarities, I also gifted my nephew the complete Bone, albeit in the colour volumes from Scholastic.

      Yes, there's never any dearth of good reading, is there? I do love Tintin and have since I was a kid. So sometimes I wonder how much that childhood nostalgia has to do with it (it doesn't eventually matter, just a thing I'm curious about). _Bone_ , on the other hand, I read as a full-fledged adult and loved with no caveats, so there's that for whatever it's worth! 😁

      Hey I finished reading Out from Boneville. What a great comic book. I want to read more of the series. I love the characters especially the main characters such as Fone Bone and the rat creatures. The world building is excellent due to home simply it is and also the fact that we, as readers, don´t have to be hung up on any timelines. The Rat Creatures are interesting. They remind me of spiders but in the shape of Cousin It from The Adam´s Family. The Bone series, I believe, is just fine as a series and not a show or movie adaptation. Thanks for your introductory video and the time to write back. :)

    Would you say it's worth the extra money for the colour edition? I don't mind black and white visuals, but wonder if I would be losing anything without the colour. Or perhaps even the other way around!

    • @ftloc
      @ftloc  Před 3 lety +3

      Honestly, as lovely as the colours can be, if I had to pick only one, I would choose the original black and white. The depth and shapes really have a different presence and part of the joy of Bone is its artistic achievements within an all-ages work, something that may get a little 'hidden' if colouring it as if primarily for children.
      Having said that, if you want hardcover, or maybe (I haven't been able to check this personally) thicker paper, the hardcover colour edition would have those.
