Customer Reviews
I gave this Comic to my little 10 year old brother since he spends most his time playing video games, and i try to get him to read, but this is the first book where he actually enjoyed reading and he is asking me to get volume 2, I am very impressed of his improvement. I look forward to reading this myself, since i have already read and watched the original Ramayana, I expect it to be as deep and penetrating as the Original Ramayana

As the title of this review suggests, this is a very vivid comic book, both in plot and illustrations. This is the most beautiful comic book I've seen so far. The illustrations are very intricate, just like Hindu art. I also like the storyline, which is a combination of Hindu myth and the Matrix. The only problem is that I'm anxious for volume two to come out.
