Book Reviews of StarCraft: Frontline Volume 2 (Starcraft (Tokyopop)) (v. 2)
Book Review: A solid collection
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm relatively new to the StarCraft phenomenon, but I found this collection to be entertaining and well-drawn. This is the second volume in the Frontline series, and while most of the stories are completely standalone, the book kicks off with the conclusion to a story that began in Vol. 1, "Heavy Armor." It sets an exciting tone that is maintained through at least two of the three stories that follow.
"Newsworthy" is a lively story that goes behind the scenes with an embedded Terran reporter as she uncovers the truth about a Dominion mission. It's a well written tale with sharp manga art that builds off of events established in earlier StarCraft novels, with a twist at the end that I found surprising. Meanwhile, "A Ghost Story" adopts an even darker tone, with appropriately murky art. More or less a horror story, this is quite possibly the strongest story in this volume and demonstrates the StarCraft universe's ability to serve as backdrop for all manner of tales.
The one story I found disappointing was "Creep." Unfortunately, the Protoss are just not as relatable as the Terrans, and I had a hard time distinguishing individual characters for each other.
Overall, I found this a fun collection of short comics and encourage all lovers of StarCraft or good sci-fi to pick it up.
