Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin vol. 1 review Story and Art by
Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Original Story by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hajime Yatate, Mechanical
Design by Kunio iwate
When colony Side 7 is attacked by Char it is up to Amuro to
pilot the technology called a Gundam against the Zeon invaders. As the battle
unfolds Amuro will have to come face to face with Char. Will Amuro win… or will
he lose?
Serialized in the shonen (boys’) comic anthology Gundam Ace,
Origin is an incredible science fiction epic. The book is a gorgeous hardcover
with high quality paper. The story itself is impossible to put down once
started. The pace is quick and the action is fierce.
If there is one fault in this book it is the protagonist who
is a generally difficult character to sympathize with. The rest of the cast is
much easier to relate to. The books also has excellent pacing never once
dragging in it’s over 440 pages. Overall Gundam the Origin is an excellent book
well worth your time and money. I cannot recommend this book enough!
Rating: 8/10
Gundam the origin vol. 1 is available in print in North America from Vertical
