The movie started with some clear gaps that needed answering, and this book answers those. For instance, what was the story behind the "brides" and how Furiosa came to protect them? Or what's the backstory on Immortan Joe? The graphic novel also tells us the background for Nux, a couple novel stories for Max before he came to the movie, and even a chapter on the history of the War Rig!
Not only does it have the movie director, George Miller, at the helm, but veteran Mad Max storyboarder and artist Mark Sexton contributing to the art. Any fan of Mad Max should purchase and read this at once!

Oh the story doesn't fit your narrative and Furiosa doesn't approve of coat hangar abortions? Cry me a river. The Furiosa comic was actually a fascinating commentary on the way knowledge exacerbates the thirst for freedom. No matter how relatively pampered the living conditions of the wives were, they still sought out freedom. Even if they would die in the wasteland, at least it would be on their terms. The illustrations, story telling, and message were excellent in my opinion.
The rest of the comics were great as well, however, I believe the Furiosa comic is unjustly getting a bad reputation. Therefore, I am only taking the time to share my thoughts on it alone.
Giving it a 4/5 because the book has a small dent on the cover.

Spoiler alert
When Joe and his crew were taking the Citadel they couldn't climb the walls of the because snipers. So they sent a lizard to climb up there with a rope tied to it's back but the lizard wouldn't go on it's own accord so they cut off someone's finger and hung it in front of the lizard to motivate it to move up the cliff.
So a few things here.. he has an army of people he's feeding why not just use a piece of food instead? Naw.. so the lizard climbs the cliff with the rope.. then what.. does the lizard tie the rope to the top? Nope.. so now you have an untied rope attached to a lizard and someone else now needs to climb up there to tie it up.. but remember snipers and if someone has to climb up to tie the rope and can evade the snipers then why didn't this person just carry the rope up in the first place so that dude could keep his finger? Finally great they have a rope everyone is going to climb but what about the snipers?
Just not loving it, it felt half baked.

Fand ich super.
Aquí podemos encontrar referencias a otros filmes de Mad Max (cómo en el caso del enfrentamiento en el nuevo Thunderdome en Gas Town) y los detalles que conectan directamente con "Fury Road", así cómo también las historias de Immortan Joe, Furiosa y Nux. Como extra, podemos encontrar las historias de como fueron creados los vehículos que aparecen en el filme, más que nada, su origen dentro de la historia.
Una lectura breve, pero muy entretenida, y que al menos para mí, tiene los elementos para leerlo una y otra vez sin aburrirte. Como fan de la saga, te puedo asegurar, que si tú lo eres, no te va a defraudar. ¡¡¡5 estrellas de calificación!!!
Recomendable 100 % para quienes se inician en la saga de Mad Max y para ¨Fans From Hell".
