I liked this okay, but it seems like the movie is really faithful (unsurprisingly) and while this adds more detail, it wasn‘t Earth-shattering. I had some trouble tracking the characters, in and out of armor. I had definite trouble tracking the air battles. Too much action in black and white, crammed into small panels. I did really appreciate the fold-out map!

I wasn‘t expecting it to be black and white, but it‘s really cool to read the original story before the film was made with way more details than the film. Nausicaa seems like a pretty flawless character, which is an interesting contrast to Miyazaki‘s characters who often have some kind of relatable flaws to them.
