07.Feb.2010 Bone: Treasure Hunters and Crown of Horns (Last 2 Volumes)
Like all good adventure story, Bone is ended with a great battle between good and evil ala The Lord of the Rings (not that I’ve read or watched LOTR). Bone series has been such a fun journey and I’m sad that it has ended, though the ending is pretty open to possibility of a sequel. But really, Jeff Smith has spent almost 10 years to complete Bone, so let’s give the guy a break.
To recap, I wrote some sort of reviews for almost every single volume, except no 2: (Well, if not full review, it’d be an exclamation “Hey, another great volume!”)
- Bone Vol 1: Out from Boneville
- Bone Vol 2: The Great Cow Race
- Bone Vol 3: Eyes of the Storm
- Bone Vol 4: The Dragonslayer
- Bone Vol 5: Rock Jaw Master of the Eastern Border
- Bone Vol 6: Old Man’s Cave
- Bone Vol 7: Ghost Circles
- Bone Vol 8: Treasure Hunters
- Bone Vol 9: Crown of Horns
If I can encourage you to read one post, it’d be the first one! I wrote a rather lengthy post when I first read Bone in late 2008, in which I compared the Bone brothers with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy (I’m so surprised nobody else has!), the comparison between graphic novels and comics, and Bone the game.
It’s hard to give rating for individual volumes at this late stage of a series, but as a whole I would give it:
Took half a star off, just because some parts of storyline left me confused near the end. But the humour and characters are great, the drawings are always amazing. It’s a fantastic series and very well worth reading!
I guess this means goodbye to Bone for now… *sob*
