Review "The best graphic adaptation of the story" - Michael Moorcock“Captures the epic grandeur of Michael Moorcock’s vision like nothing before!” - Ron Marz (Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)“Craig Russell’s work on Michael Moorcock’s character, Elric, has been illuminated by a haunted, decadent quality.” - Walter Simonson”Every page is beautifully drawn” - Starburst Magazine“I loved it. Recommended.” - SciFi World“tremendously dark and deeply engaging!” - Comics Review“Elric has never looked, sounded and been better!” - Comics Trash"From the colours and shadows to characters’ movement and panel flow, the visual story that unfolds is the truly astounding one." - Infinite Comix"This adaptation in some ways surpasses the original work" - Fandom Post"Dark and angry yet beautiful and tragic, mixing light and shadow to tell the story" - Clandestine Critic"Beautifully Illustrated, It’s A Terrific Addition To The Comic Book Incarnation Of Elric." - Scoop"If Titan Comics takes this series to the limit–adapting countless stories of Elric - I’d rather sit down with a stack of their books to read over and over than watching the Extended Versions of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit." - Sci Fi Monkeys

Poole I am a life long fan of Michael Moorcock, and I have enjoyed all of the Elric comic books to date. That's about it. I enjoyed them. Whatever. Yawn.Then comes Julien Blondel and team, and I am astounded by what these guys have done.The story presented differs slightly from MM's original writings, but I found Blondel's to be just as brilliant... compelling and gripping, not at all losing the MM flair for the dramatic, and especially not the dark undertones. They follow the path MM laid out, but are more vicious in presentation. There is no wasted or expositionary dialogue. Every word has a purpose, and it all strikes at the reader hard. The scripts used in these volumes are written better than anything Hollywood could churn out. If I were Michael Moorcock, I would be ecstatic and honored.And then there is the artwork: stunning, beautiful, colorful and incredibly detailed. Extremely well thought out and executed. There was clearly logic applied to the re-imagining of nearly all of the characters (minor and major), settings, etc that makes complete sense, and is very nicely done.Upon finishing vol 2, I felt as if the black sword had fed me blood and souls... and I fiend for more!!! Do you hear me Blondel?
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Excellence Continues By E. Blondel/Poli continue to blow it out of the water. Liberties are taken with the story, this is true, but I went into this with an open mind as Moorcock himself praises the changes quite highly. This is part two of a four part series, so obviously the Elric story needs to be quite abbreviated in order to fit. At this point, with the changes I have seen I am truly in anticipation for the next two books. This book deviates more than the first one, but in a very refreshing, new way that makes me yearn to learn how exactly they will take this series to the conclusion. As others have mentioned the art is writ large, maybe even better than the first one, in ways that feel bombastic and epic. Each line of dialogue is carefully chosen due to the short space available; encounters are ramped up; events are condensed into more singular ideas. There is a short deviation I feel is a bit unnecessary, or perhaps too shortened? -- Dyvim goes to wake the dragons, but we don't see the finale of this action. Instead we turn a bit disconcertingly to Elric flippantly saying he no longer needs the dragons awakened. And the part with Dr. Jest and the baby...I do like the viciousness displayed in these new volumes, but storywise that bit wasted a page that could have been better used elsewhere. But heck, I don't even mind. The art is so lovely and the personalization of Elric so good (it is practically better than the original books in making him relatable!) I just don't care about these small blemishes. Keep it coming!Also, since the P. Craig Russel adaptation was so badly printed by Titan I will mention that these volumes by Blondel/Poli are flawless. The lines, colors, paper, everything, is flawless. Nothing to complain about on the printing front.
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Hate to say it, but this book is a major disappointment. By Guy Lawley The first book in series, The Ruby Throne, was pretty good.The creative team took some liberties with Michael Moorcock's story, but most of them were for good reasons (like establishing just how decadent and wicked Melnibone is) and most them "worked."Moorcock himself liked The Ruby Throne. Titan is using an approving quote about The Ruby Throne from him, above, to promote this second book.Please note, he was not talking about this one.Unfortunately, the deviations from MM's storyline in this volume are excessive, to the point where I can in no way recommend it as an adaptation of the original book (i.e. "Elric of Melnibone," not actually the book called "Stormbringer" which was the grand finale of Moorcock's original series).Elric behaves in one particular scene in a way which I consider to be a complete betrayal of the character as written by Moorcock.It is possible that the writer has set this up in order to have Elric agonise over it later and maybe repent of his actions.We shall see. Or not, as I will find it hard to buy any further volumes in this series.The artwork too is well below the standard set by The Ruby Throne.In some dramatic scenes the storytelling suffers from lack of clarity; the drama is partly lost as a result.Unforgivably, the Black Sword itself, which should be a major feature of the art, is poorly depicted.In my first version of this review I was perhaps too harsh.On re-reading the book, I can see that the writers were trying to push some of the implications of Moorcock's original story to their limits, rather than betraying them.I still feel they went too far.Too many changes to the plot.More importantly, too many changes to the actual character of Elric.So, this is not Elric of Melniboné - not the book, not the true Elric himself.
