A review by pkadams
Die Hard: Year One, Vol 1 by Howard Chaykin

1.0

My reaction to a graphic novel about John McClane and entitled Die Hard -- "I must read that now!" Alas it is a great idea (about how John McClane became the cowboy who defeats Hans Gruber) but it fell so short. The plot was difficult to follow and took the second comic book in the series to really start making sense to the reader. Also there were way too many characters.
I still love the first movie (and the novel upon which it was based) but I will be a bit more circumspect about other Die Hard titles.
