3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting background, average art, April 4 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Babylon 5 Price of Peace (Paperback)
This comic collection provides good "canon" background for Jeff Sinclair's story, and meshes well with Book 9, "To Dream in the City of Sorrows." I recommend it for any serious B5 fan.However, the artwork sometimes was lacking. (Garibaldi is the exception, as he was consistently well-drawn.) For some reason, Neroon was recognizable in only his first two frames -- after that he was completely different. At any rate, "The Price of Peace" storyline was interesting and engaging, and the characters were believable. The added bonus of the Psi Corps comic at the end is a hoot!

Like an episode of B5 that you missed... very well done, Jan 26 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Babylon 5 Price of Peace (Paperback)
After I got done reading the primary story (4 out of the first 5 chapters), I felt like I'd seen an episode that never got aired. I have to admit in a lot of ways that I (almost) liked Sinclair more than Sheridan... this collection and the novel "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" fill in more than a few gaps. The first chapter is the best, written by JMS and beautifully-illustrated, but it's all good. The characterization is right-on, too, something I've heard hasn't been a strong point of the B5 novels, excepting "To Dream" and "Dark Genesis." The Psi Corps chapter complements the latter novel well, too. I look forward to more B5 comics (and novels, especially the Centauri Prime Trilogy!) -- the show's over, but the fat lady hasn't sung just yet.

If you missed the comics, pick this up!, Jan 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Babylon 5 Price of Peace (Paperback)
This is a bundle of the first four comics and the 11th comic. It takes place during the second season; and for those who may not know, these comics are much like the show. While each is an individual story, they all pull together to tell a 'big' story as well. If you like the show and you like the characters, you'll like this too.
