Evan Leach's Reviews > 300

300 offers a very cool reimagining of the Battle of Thermopylae. Like the famous movie adaptation, the book oozes style (I particularly enjoyed the exotic interpretation of the Persian Emperor and his armies), and the story is action packed and engaging.

This is not the deepest or most nuanced graphic novel I've ever read; it is the literary equivalent of an action movie. However, it succeeds on those terms very well. The artwork had some definite high points (creativity being #1), but personally I like Miller better as a storyteller than as an artist, and overall I found the art to be a mixed bag.

A strong, exciting, fun read. 4.5 stars, highly recommended!
