His immense body of work also includes Marvel superheroes such as Daredevil and Shang-Chi, the Alex Rider graphic novels, the post-apocalypse epic Wasteland, and more. He wrote and directed the film Crossover Point, made entirely in quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic. year-old Alex is an orphan. Around 3 weeks prior to the start of the first book in the series, Alex’s uncle, Ian Rider, who had been raising him, dies in a car crash. Alex later finds out that his uncle used to be a secret agent who was working for M16, a premier spy agency in Britain. M16 later forces Alex to take up his uncle’s place in the spy operation. The adventure constitutes the opening book in the series. Currently the graphic novel series is comprised of four novels. Each book in the original series is to have a graphic novel adaption in time.

All of the action readers find in Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider books are displayed in attractive detail in this graphic novel, right from the beginning, and I am happy to say that the action adds to, rather than takes away, from the book’s plot. Confession: I have used the Alex Rider books, both the traditional novels and the graphic novels, in my own classroom now for almost a decade. So maybe I’m a little biased.The illustration style was easy to follow and understand. The characters fit with the descriptions I had in my mind and I think I’ll definitely read more of these types of books in the future! Things are explained to him about who actually killed his father (Surprise, it was MI6) which turns Mr. Rider into a hate filled weapon that can be used against the British establishment. Things take a pretty dark turn in this ting which helps nullify the feeling that these are just children’s or young teen books. Mr. Horowitz has brought his game up a notch or two from the standard fare that was produced in the first four books and I hope the ark continues. The Charlize Theron movie Atomic Blonde was based on his graphic novel. His murder mystery series The Dog Sitter Detective won the Barker Book Award. The Brigitte Sharp spy thrillers are in development for TV. And his productivity guide The Organised Writer has helped authors all over the world take control of their workload.

I really liked the drawing style. I also enjoyed this form of the story, and now I was encouraged to re-read the entire series, albeit in comic form.

Nagy Alex Rider sorozat rajongó vagyok, imádtam az egész sorozatot. Ezért is érdekelt, hogy milyen lett a képregény. Ez a rész a 5-6. rész (nem emlékszem pontosan) képregény változata, az előzőket nem olvastam képregényként (még!!!). Ezt a részt 3-4 éve olvastam, így a sztorira már annyira nem emlékeztem, így részben új élmény volt, de azért olvasva eszembe jutottak a dolgok. Scorpia: The Graphic Novel' by Antony Johnston and Anthony Horowitz with art by Emma Vieceli is the 5th graphic novel based on the Alex Rider graphic novel series.
