Animorphs
this Animorphs Series debut Invasion June 1996. It is written under byline ka applegate, the pseudonym of the wife and wife writing team Katherine Applegate and Michael Grantand later was a team of writers. The volumes in the main line series were released in the near month and ended with entry 54 startin May 2001. In the process, several derivative products were released, including four “… chronicle“Book, Megamorphs and Alternatives.
This story follows five human teenagers: Jack, Rachel, Casey, Tobias and Marco. exist Invasionthe teenager’s quintet meets a deadly alien while walking home from a shopping mall. This alien, Elfangor Andalite, reveals the secret invasion of the earth other Alien: Yeerks.
Yeerks are sl-like parasite creatures. To stay away from their own “Yeerk pool”, they have to crawl into the ears of another species and control their bodies. There is a small gain: every three days they have to return to the Yeerk pool and charge with special radiation. However, since “sharing” is an organization disguised as a kind of community charity/social club, they have managed to control many humans, including many authoritative figures. Essentially, Anyone It may be a “human controller”, or a host under Yeerk control.
In order to give humans an opportunity to oppose infiltration, Elfangor gave five teenagers the ability to “transform”. By touching any creature and “geting” its DNA, adolescents can “transform” into the creature’s repetition process for up to two hours. However, limiting any deformation that lasts more than two hours will make the deformation “not Helit”: they will lose the ability to change themselves and be trapped in any form that takes place when the two-hour limit expires.
Animorphs Formula
In terms of format Animorphs The series has a special hook. Each major book is told from a first-person perspective from one of the five teenagers (later the sixth member of Aximili in the Animorphs team). From volume to volume, the narrator will alternate.
These books have earned reputations for not shying away from disturbing physical horrors, creepy sci-fi consequences and total cruel violence. On the one hand, the deformed textual process is not a smooth transition depicted on the cover of the book. Instead, it’s a fracture, mutation in Cronenberg, which can be unpredictable and weird. Meanwhile, the battle between Animorphs and Yeerks can be very confusing. By the end of the series, the surviving characters have been scarred by the length they have to go as they take back the control of the earth from the invaders.
Even if you didn’t read books, you might remember seeing them if you visited bookstores, libraries, or academic book fairs in the late 90s. This is thanks to the aforementioned arrest cover of the original series. These depict the protagonist “transformed” into various animal forms. Cover art Invasion yes Peter Bringer and the cover art of the second book Visitors,exist Tim O’Brien. But the remaining 52 main books and four books Megamorphs Book Cover Art Author David Mattingly.
The faces in the final stage of deformation are cut open: when you open the cover, it reveals a full-color image of the animal in action. This is not the only carry-over inside the cover. On the bottom corner of each page is the sequential image of POV character deformation. This makes every Animorphs Volume A flipbook.
In comics
With the first release in October 2020 Animorphs Grine’s adaptation, the series entered the comics world. In terms of adaptation, these are already quite close to the original material. Just like the original series, each volume of the comic is narrated by one of the teenagers. So far, each comic has directly corresponded to their prose, plot and perspective. In addition, all six Animorphs The comics published so far have been adapted by Grine.
Because adaptations are usually faithful, they are instantly fascinating, just like prose. this Animorphs Story, characters and myths have been key elements of the lasting cult that franchise enjoys. In these adaptations, all of these elements are copied very closely. So these comics will be a great way to introduce the story, or a great way to revisit the story in different forms.
Grine’s artwork is especially good in some aspects of the story. He is good at drawing various aliens and their ships and techniques. Various animals are immediately recognizable, including the inadequate number of insects attempted by adolescents in these early volumes.
Another aspect of the work of art is particularly talented. Unlike the smooth shifts covered by the original series, in comic art, the process of deformation proves to be the rough experience described in prose. This includes the sound effects of fractures, organ metastasis.
capture
The sixth entry Animorphs Graphic novel adaptation series, capturereturn to Jack’s point of view. Like the first five entries, this volume uses colored word balloons very well. By assigning its own color to each animation, it is possible to distinguish who issues language when it is transformed.
This volume sees the team’s de facto leader Jake trapped in Yeerk pool and became the controller. It includes a variety of insect deformations, as well as various “fight deformations” of the team. The process of variation into a fly is particularly disturbing. capture It also utilizes science fiction novels with two versions of the same character to face yourself in the mind landscape.
capture It’s the sixth Animorphs Adaptation through Grine. In a post to Bruceky, he said The future of comic adaptation is not yet clear. Meanwhile, in a May 2010 interview, Green said He wants to adapt the first ten books.
In either case, Animorphs The adaptation of novel graphics should continue. The remaining main novels and comic adaptations that match stories have great potential. Adapted books Andalite Chronicle Probably great, it’s great to see multiple artists dealing with it longer Megamorphs story, which contains the views of all six protagonists. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or would love to experience this story for the first time, Animorphs Graphic novels are worth your time.
