Not likely. Not unless it was free.
Depends if it was any good or not. By default I would assume it wasn't until someone showed me evidence it was.
Sure, why not.
Probably not, it depends on how good the story is and how well written it is.
Only if by "comic" you mean "webcomic" and by "book" you mean "called 8-bit theater."Quote:
Would you read a Final Fantasy comic book?
I'm still trying to get my hands on Final Fantasy Unlimited. I'd read anything Final Fantasy as a manga/graphic novel. Hell, I'd read it as a novel. Maybe not as a comic though. Hell, I'd probably read the manga if it just said Squaresoft/SQUARE ENIX on it.
What are the significant differences between a potential comic book adaptation of Final Fantasyand a potential manga adaptation of it? The only thing I can think of is art style, and I don't think that if you were going to create a Final Fantasy based comic book that you would suddenly stray from the base artistic designs.
Well, manga are fatter. You only get like 30 pages of material for an American made comic. Maybe that's also true for native Japanese customers but once a manga is released in America, you get like 2-3 times the amount of material you could expected from the average comic. Manga is why I've given up on comics altogether. And, yes, imo, usually the art style is also better. I've developed a bias towards bishie-style characterization over the more realistic tones featured in the average AMC.
Besides, Final Fantasy is rooted in Japan, who better to provide us with the reading material to coincide with it?
I was just curious, I've not had much interaction with either.
If the art was something I could enjoy, I'd read it. Story doesn't matter, I only read comics for the pictures anyway.
