Product Description
Sam Flynn is the rebellious 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer who disappeared when Sam was just a child. When Sam looks into his father’s disappearance, he finds himself pulled into the same world of brutal programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for almost 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidante, Quora, Kevin Flynn and his son Sam must embark on a life-and-death voyage across a visually-stunning cyber universe to put an end to the evil Clu and his reign of this digital world.This 128-page graphic novel prequel will bridge the story between the first Tron film from 1982 and the upcoming Walt Disney Studio’s film, Tron: Legacy.

A solid bridge between two stories, Dec 18 2010
By Brian Kendig - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tron: Betrayal: An Original Graphic Novel Prequel to Tron: Legacy (Paperback)
This isn't just a throwaway comic - it feels like a lot of thought went into "Tron: Betrayal".Kevin Flynn wants to create a perfect world inside the computer, but his real-life duties to Encom and to his son Sam require him to be absent for long periods of time. He creates the program Clu to run things in his absence, but eventually even Clu begins to feel abandoned by his maker and decides to take a more aggressive role in building the perfection he believes his creator wants. The comic explains what happened to Lora and to Sam's mother and where the "Isos" come from. It annotates the story with comparisons to the gradual rise and sudden fall of Rome.
This is an inexpensive story, the artwork is well done, and I'd say it's a must-read for fans of the original movie who want to get more out of the sequel.

Almost Great, Feb 14 2011

This review is from: Tron: Betrayal: An Original Graphic Novel Prequel to Tron: Legacy (Paperback)
This comic is unfortunately not the movie tie-in I was hoping for. The art is better than I was expecting for the most part, but sometimes just comes off as boring and bland during what should be exciting and important moments in the story the comic is telling. Additionally there's quite a number of inconsistencies between, the comic, the movie, and the game Tron: Evolution. However, it's not a bad comic, I felt entertained after reading it, and I feel it did add to the Tron story, it was worth buying but could have done better by making sure everything jived with the movie and game.

Prequel Graphic Novel To "Tron: Legacy", Dec 22 2010
By Vermillion - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Tron: Betrayal: An Original Graphic Novel Prequel to Tron: Legacy (Paperback)
Pretty much what the other reviews have said, it explains more in depth to details that the film doesn't. It adds more to the film if you read this before you see it. The story & artwork is great for this. I actually read it in one sitting, it only took about an hour or so to read it all. The graphic novel also includes an 11-page retelling of the original Tron movie, which I thought was really "radical, man!"Fans of Tron, definite buy. People looking to get into Tron, definitely read or buy. (I loved the movie, still don't see why so many people are down on it.)
