Book Reviews of Indiana Jones Omnibus, Vol. 1
Book Review: Great Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Dark Horse Comics has been publishing these fantastic Omnibus volumes the last couple of years. This particular collection contains previously out of print "Indiana Jones" miniseries from 1991-1994. All three tales are pretty solid.
"Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" is the first story and is an adaptation of the classic Lucasarts computer game of the same name. I felt this was the weakest of the three stories but that might be because I'm comparing it too much to the game. It'd be hard to adapt the game fully because it is so immersive. I do think though that those who have never played the game should enjoy this story because you won't know what you're missing.
"Indiana Jones: Thunder in the Orient" is the second story, my favorite of the three. Indy goes on a quest for the original scrolls written by the Buddha and tangles with warlords and a crazed Japanese general. At times, there are shades of Temple of Doom in this story and that's not a bad thing. The artwork in this story has a 1940s feel that works really well too.
"Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold" is the last story in this volume. The story here involves Indy helping a Spanish professor who is new to his college track down her missing brother, which leads them on a quest for a pair of golden arms. There are a couple of really good twists in this story that I won't give away. The artwork is good again, although is very different from the style in which the first two stories are done. It's quite good though and fits the thematic material.
This volume is well worth the money for any die-hard Indiana Jones fan. It's great that Dark Horse is finally reprinting these stories after all these years. This book will make a fine edition to any Indy fan's collection.
