New DVD release, , , , ,
Last year the Animorphs triumphantly returned in a new graphic novel series that pleased not only hardcore fans but kept extremely true to the original books, right down to using much of the same dialogue. This has brought new visual life to the well beloved franchise and hasn’t sanitized the sometimes-bleak series; it still contained all the hard choices, deep conflict, and snapping bones while morphing that made the series such a fan favorite to this very day.
