![]() Kinda puts Ben's attitude from The Maze Runner into perspective. It's the shortest one in the book, but I will have to say it's my favorite. So when it turned out the first story was about him and Ben, I was actually really excited. Let me start by saying this bridges absolutely zero gaps.įor a character who played a main role in all three books, Minho got surprisingly little story in them. Since I just preached for less angry nerding, I'm not gonna bash what I hated. So, much like when I reviewed Joe Hill's Terrifyingly Tragic Treasury Edition, I'm gonna break this down story-by-story. I loved The Maze Runner trilogy, even though I saw the Maze Runner movie before I read them. Keep them on your shelves and open them up when you want those familiar, original moments. Nothing WILL ever change within those volumes. Thomas, Alby, Teresa, Minho, Newt, Chuck, Gally- all of them live, and sometimes die, withint those pages. The differences are subtle enough to keep you on your toes and allow you to experience the roller coaster as if it's the first time you had the guts to step up the Maze all over again. The characters you love are there, the spirit and the tone and world structure are there. Like me, I hope you'll set aside any concerns over the differences between these two versions of the same world. This part of the intro really got me, and whatever reservations I had about seeing The Scorch Trials next month were way past the Gone after I read it. Hell, there's even a shout-out to fanfiction-writing trash like me! Seriously, I wish people like Stephen King and Stan Lee would stand up against the angry nerds and represent themselves fairly and make the point that some things don't transition. If the adaptation of The Maze Runner pissed you off, or The Scorch Trials already looks like it'll piss you off, read James Dashner's introduction to this comic book. In the vein of other reviewers, I'm going to recommend you read that freaking introduction. Featuring an introduction from Dashner himself, this collection of all new short stories reveals the hidden histories of your favorite Gladers, including Aris, Ava Paige, and Mary Cooper before The Scorch Trials hits theaters on September 18. With over 6.5 million books in print, and an international hit film series, it’s plain to see fans lost themselves in James Dashner’s bestselling series. Discover what it takes to survive in a post-Flare world, against the violent Cranks that have begun to take over humanity, only to learn that the Glade may not be the only Maze W.C.K.D. came to be, and how the very first Maze was designed. Now it's up to Thomas, Teresa and the others, who will discover that while they may have escaped the Maze, they've entered into an experiment more terrifying than anything they could imagine. Simply known as the Flare, the disease seemed unstoppable until a cure was discovered, but that relief came at a human cost. But then an unstoppable illness ravaged the bodies and minds of the remaining survivors. The world thought it had seen the worst after the Sun Flares struck the Earth’s surface, and millions of people were killed. ![]() ![]() Escaping the Maze was only the beginning.
