VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Creative Director ORSON SCOTT CARD Adapted by CHRISTOPHER YOST Pencils & Cover by PASQUAL FERRY New York Times bestseller Orson Scott Card's sci-fi epic continues! Battle training. Combat. Enemy tactics. The students of Battle School are not normal children. And as Ender begins to rise in rank and fame, he becomes a target. And if the older kids don't take him down... the serpent at the End of the World will. Date Available: 03/18/2009 BONUS REVIEW by MEGAN BYRD  “They aren’t normal. They act like – history. Napoleon and Wellington. Caesar and Brutus.” In this next to last issue of Ender’s Game, the pressure of Battle School is starting to get to star pupil Ender Wiggin. Imagine the genius of a world class general, but in the body of a pre-pubescent boy. Calculating with his devastating blows, yet conflicted by the role he is being molded into, Ender begins to recognize the loss of his childhood, yet his alienating genius stops him from fully experiencing the emotional impact of this realization. The dream sequence at the end of this issue hints at the turmoil behind Ender’s calm façade, leading to what could be an exciting end to this mini-series. This issue would garner more grahamies had it not been for the rushed look of some panels in this issue. Perhaps having an inker on this smaller Marvel book could have made the art as fantastic as the writing. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
