I really did not like the art for these. It was hard to tell the kids apart, the weird glow and -- as another reviewer put it -- "bad CG" feel to it. This felt like a rushed mess. Like they just copy and pasted from different parts of a larger work and didn't care that it didn't make as much sense anymore. Certainly there were parts that if I hadn't read the book I would have been lost. I'm reading the rest of the comics in the Ender's Game world only because I'm a completionist and at this point, it's just a few of the special issues and side stories -- ones which are new or are telling short stories I never read, so they're new to me. I much preferred the Formic Wars series to this poor retelling of the book, though.
I definitely need to read the actual books and watch the movie because damnnnn, this didn’t do it justice apparently

I couldn't get through this one. It was just a poor adaptation of the novel. Read the book and skip this. All of the nuance is missing.
Overall, I thought this covered the majority of the main plot points from the book, with the exception of the ending (involving the Hive Queen). The artwork was adequate, and I did enjoy the graphic novel quite a bit. With that said, I certainly would not recommend reading this without having read the book. You won't get enough out of it.
I was mostly disappointed with the scenes in the battle room, but my real problem with the graphic novel was the same problem I had with the movie: So much of the original book focuses on the thoughts and inner headspace of Ender Wiggin, and a great deal of that is lost in these adaptations.
