Bionicle #1: Rise of the Toa Nuva (Bionicle Graphic Novels) Paperback – June 10, 2008

I bought and received this graphic novel around two weeks ago and I love it! I used to read these comics as a small child and it was great to revisit Mata Nui and all its inhabitants after so many years. The hardcover edition is small enough to fit in a backpack or good-sized purse, and the artwork is fantastic! I found that the story, particularly the ending, was not as amazing as I remembered it to be, but that's okay. These comics are meant for entertainment and promotion of the Bionicle products, not to be as deep as Watchmen, Superman: Earth One or other big-time comics. If you can, buy the hardcover edition. I've read several other reviews of this and its subsequent volumes that the paperback editions don't have very good binding and fall apart easily (the hardcovers are not that much more expensive anyways). A total must have for any Bionicle fan!! 4/5!!

After looking almost everywhere, I finally found the Bionicle Comics that I always wanted.The pages do start to fall out shortly after first going through it, but if you hold it carefully it really doesn't matter. The artwork sure brings memories of this wonderful saga. I recommend it for any Bionicle fan.

I've been a Bionicle fan since I was very young, and I kept all of the comics from 2003 onward. This reprint series is a fantastic way to fill in the gaps of your collection, or even replace it all with hardcovers in fewer volumes at almost the same size as the original!

This is a wonderful way for kids to get into comic books. It's easy to read and completely clean.

If you like Bionicle you'll like the comic.

I made the mistake of not reading some of the other reviews; don't do the same! The binding falls apart in one to two days. This is a total shame. The kids love these books and I didn't pay attention to which ones were paperback and which were hardback. The one hardback that I purchased (book #9) seems to be holding up well, and I wish I had purchased all of them as hardbacks. In fact I consider the lost money as a lesson in reading reviews and item descriptions. The kids love these books so much, I have since purchased them again but in hardback of course. In summary, do not buy the paperback!

good book for boys. my son loves the heroes factory toys, and the book stimulates his creativity and build the toys in different ways.

I got this book for some younger friends of my son we were going to visit after a 12 month absence, and was embarrassed to see the book disintegrate into pieces over our 2-day visit. YIKES! Half the pages just unglued and came out. W/o clear numbering, it was difficult to piece together, and technically overwhelming to think of trying to tape back together. As I would tape, more pages would fall out. YUCK!

My son loved it

Very pleased with product quality
