Re: I actually partially agree with you.

In Response To: Re: I actually partially agree with you. (Ain Soph Aur)

: The title "Graphic Novel" in this case is misleading. I don't know
: what a graphic novel normally is, but if it's a collection of small
: stories rather than a single large one, it's not a novel.

You're right, it's not a novel, it's a graphic novel. Actually, interesting enough, novel used to mean a short story.

: Well, the entire point of a graphic novel is to convey visually the story.
: When the visuals don't match up with other things that are supposed to be
: in the same universe, it's confusing.

The worse things are supposed "Ma5bs, which may be just carbines or, more likely, fuel rod guns, just colored gray. The cylindrical tanks, well, I think those were in concept art.

: Short stories generally have endings. The story that took place in New
: Mombasa didn't.

Actually it did. It very much had an ending. It wasn't the ideal ending, but it was an ending nonetheless. It really only left the fate of the main protagonist in doubt. That's common in fiction.

: Short stories generally have points, or some kind of new information. Until
: the frame-by-frame, pixel-by-pixel crowd lays into "Breaking
: Quarantine", I'll say that that one had neither. It was like watching
: a replay of the last half of 343 Guilty Spark with a different
: protagonist.

It did have a point that much is certain. The point was Sarge didn't just get knocked out after getting attacked by the Flood and just wake up not a zombie and walked out the door. It was a short action story that really only intended to tell a simple story and make a simple point.
