i havenвЂ™t been able to get ahold of die hard: year one, vol. ItвЂ™s not a bad way to spend an hour or so, especially for die hard fans. itвЂ™s a fault thatвЂ™s common in most current post action/avid fart/quick editing/too close zoom dtv action movies.

for (action) movie fans who want to see everything that happens, it seems to work against the die hard scenario. the only other criticism i have is that maybe iвЂ™m too used to the film medium, but in the last chapter when the die hard situation finally appears, the panels seem to skip over what had happened. I do think that the 24-ish time stamps on every other page is unnecessary. and in the final pages, thereвЂ™s a little bittersweet ending that we feel for mcclane as a character, rather than a relived triumphant movie ending that only cares about the resolution of the die hard situation. i also like the hard boiled noir-ish narrations and attitudes. he also gets love interests, which we never really get in the die hard movies. plot wise, itвЂ™s interesting to see mcclane doing routine police work like busting pickpockets and flashers. bruceвЂ™s likeness appears just enough times that he feels like a new character instead of a total tie-in to the movies. i like the fact that not every single shot of mcclane looks like bruce willis, which people complain about. the color schemes and drawing is in tune with the 70s new york time period.

This is probably the second teenage picture book iвЂ™ve ever read in my life and i have to say, itвЂ™s a pretty enjoyable experience.

of course the bad guys show up and take over the ship and their plan would have worked too if it wasnвЂ™t for mcclane meddling. mcclane eventually works as security on a ship thatвЂ™s owned by a wealthy businessman during the celebration. Though i was a bit worried about that introduction, the supporting characters turns out to be as interesting and important as mcclane, which doesnвЂ™t happen very often in die hard-ish movies. itвЂ™s also kind of like those 70s cop-in-a-big-city type movie that probably would have been directed by the likes of sidney lumet or john frankenheimer. it is more like an ensemble that happens to have mcclane in it. in fact, we donвЂ™t really get that much john mcclane in the first half. itвЂ™s a device thatвЂ™s been used in many die hard-ish and action movies. the first few chapters we get snapshots of various characters throughout the city.

so i guess heвЂ™s an analog hero in an analog world. john mcclane is a rookie cop back from vietnam. 1 takes place during the 4th of july in 1976, the bicentennial celebration, in new york.

die hard: year one came out in 2010, after the last die hard movie, live free or die hard, which is the highest grossing entry in the die hard franchise.Дie hard: year one, vol. it not a die hard-ish product where someone is simply capitalizing on the die hard scenario but rather it feels more like a genuine exploration of john mcclane as a character. it also feels less forced because unlike all the above, it was not made because the franchise is running out of steam or someone trying to milk more money out of a dead horse (yes thatвЂ™s my new 2-in-1 metaphor). probably so you wonвЂ™t think about other origin stories and prequels like x-men origin: wolverine, hannibal rising, or star wars episode i, ii, or iii. the publicity uses the batman and the bond casino royale as comparison. 1: the graphic novel picture book contains the first four issues of the die hard: year one comic books, with the second volume holding issues 4-8. if it feels rushed and not quite satisfying, just muse over that tylenol bottle in the phone booth and jeremy irons in a helicopter.Дie hard: year one, vol. So this is kind of an anti-climatic ending, like die hard 3: with a vengeance. there are several other die hard-ish movies that i wish i have the time for. 1, a prequel in picture book form about john mcclane.

With the clock ticking, time is of the essence, and the one thing i donвЂ™t have, i have to settle for a post on die hard: year one, vol. but i only got around to seeing 16 blocks but not hostage, and the two die hard videogames (die hard trilogy 2: viva las vegas and die hard: vendetta) turn out to be pretty sucky (i even hook the ps1 back up). One was to review all four die hard movies, another was to write about bruce movies that i havenвЂ™t seen before (16 blocks and hostage), one was to include die hard-ish products like video games and other medium. Here we are at the official ending of die hard-ish month.
