Maximum Ride: manga version

Posted on February 21st, 2008 by Becky.

Have you heard that Yen Press is going publish a manga version of James Patterson’s popular Maximum Ride series?

“I am completely over the moon that Max’s story will be told in manga editions,” said Patterson. “I can’t imagine a more visual tale than this one. Truly, this is Max taken to the max.”

Thanks to Jordan for the heads-up!

Would you read a manga version of Max, or are you faithful to the original? The fourth book, The Final Warning, comes out on March 17! Reserve your copy today!

Quite possibly you did, and it fell out of my brain. Sometimes it helps to write a small note and stick it to my forehead. Or, alternatively, send me an email in all caps. At any rate, what do you think of this MR manga idea?

Yeah…I’ll keep that in mind.

As for the manga…I don’t like the idea. -.-’ Ever since Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, Patterson’s ideas have totally gone downhill. The idea for The Final Warning sounds like a wreck, as does the movie, so I’m really not sure about the manga…

It’s always a bummer when a strong idea gets the juice squeezed out of it…so would you call this a case of “know when to stop”?

The manga is and will be terrible…

Don’t waste your money buying it… and I’m not all that positive the library should get it…

There’s this huge disscussion going on and now we’ve come to a conclusion; JP has been using his old MR website for our ideas and mixing them together. That’s what the fourth book was. Everything is becoming worse than the one before it.

Sorry… -.-’ I know this is wierd coming from me, but I’m giving up on Maximum Ride other than The Angel Experiment.

… I’m in a rant-ish mood tonight. x]

I’m not so sure about the manga, but I’m open. I hope its good…

And about the books, I disagree. They’re still quite good, in my opinion.

And about the movie… I don’t know about it, but I’m kind of looking forward to it. I felt the same way about Twilight. But I suppose, if they put in the right people for the characters and follow the plotline closely, it couldn’t be that terrible. But I really hope its good.

I like the idea of a manga, I just hope they don’t change things TOO much. It’s cool to be able to SEE the characters. Although, if they make them too different from how I imagine, it gets confusing.

The fourth book wasn’t as good as the others, but it was still good. I think it was because their goal wasn’t really defined, and they didn’t really work towards it much. I hope the fifth one is a bit better.

The erasers look so… creepy *shivers* I gueess that’s how they’re suppose to look like. The manga version is AWESOME it’s exactly the same as the book but the character designs. The only thing I disagree with it is Fangs long hair and Max’s hair color, but everything else is awesome!

What’s this? A blog on the Max Ride manga? If that’s the case, then let me throw in my two cents: The manga is visually epic, and the original storyline from James Patterson made it seem it was destined to become a manga. This is truly a book that I recommend, seeing that I, too, have read it myself. Come to think of it, wonder what it would be like if they made this into a videogame? They did something like that with The Chronicles of Narnia, but I could actually care less…

I’ve read the series, i like it. i read the manga…. I CAN SEE!!!!!! plus Max actually has FEELINGS (thats a good thing for me). You are all going to hate me for this, but Max is one of my least favorite characters because: She talks about how pathetic 100% humans are, when in reality if they couldn’t fly but still had the whole strength factor, most of us would be able to still fight one of the older ones off. the Gazzy and Angel would just be annoying screaming kids. Another reason is because she is just do dang annoying! She rants and rants about how much her and the flocks life sucks but, REALLY? I mean she has had SO MANY chances to turn that around but for each one it’s ” They can’t be trusted!” Holy crap if i was a member of the flock i would leave! Also her life compared to mine is awesome! Oh i no what your thinking ” How could Yours even compare to hers!?! Well! I’ve been dis-owned by my mom AND my dad! Lived at an orphanage, Got adopted by abbusive Douche-bags, Got hit by a car, Joined Football was good at it but then got completly tanked by a player, went into a coma, woke-up from coma to find that no more football (No football ment no College). Then after that i met the love of my life, Got married, she died of Leukimia, found out I had a 2 baby brothers, and 3 baby Sisters, all raised horribly by my REAL parents. Finally after a year i got them all on the right track… i thought. All but my baby girl (12 year-old sister) died in a Drunk Car accident. Real Mom and Dad die of Poisoning and a Shooting. Why should i care, you ask because! they’re my MOM and DAD!!!!!!! Little sister Got Pregnant at 13!!!! had baby, kept baby, didn’t learn first time got Gonerrea or something! THEN on top of everything else wrong in my life I GOT ARRESTED FOR A CRIME I DIDN’T COMMIT!!!!!!! And here i am now, just got out of jail cause GUESS WHAT!!!!!!! ” Oh i’m sorry sir, I guess you really didn’t kill that man…” NO FRIGGIN’ CRAP!!!!! you just arrested me cause i KNEW the guy! JEEZ!…. i didn’t actually say that. But i wanted to! Plus there is a whole bunch of crap that happened in the middle of that but… I’m all right now so… yeah…. i guess i went a little to far with all that… And Guys don’t say i complain to much cuz thats the FIRST time i’ve ever EVER said anything about my life other than my late wife. ~R.I.P.
