Summary: Very Good, a must read!
Review: My review on GW #2:
This is the part of the series where the characters develop more than in the first one. The third book is definatly the best, and this second book builds up the storyline for the final book.

The Domon/Gundam G comics at the end are hilarious and rivial the comics at the end of the third book, but I favor the 3rd book's myself.

This is another GW must read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but the rest of the series is better.
Review: My review on GW #1:
This book is close to the T.V. series yet different. The character's personalities are more different (for example, instead of being difficult to read, hard, and reserved Heero is cynnical, kinda crazy and funny because of it, whose favorite phrase is "I'll kill you!". Other character changes are minor) There are scenes that are missing from this fast paced comic that were in the T.V. series, while there are all new scenes added. The GW Mangna Trilogy contains the whole T.V. series except Endless Waltz, so each book is very fast paced and might be hard to understand for new fans.

The Domon/Gundam G comic part at the end is funny in some parts, but the 2nd and especially 3rd book's comics are funnier.

Overall, this is a must read for GW fans that want more of the series or just a different outlook.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shinzigami strikes again!
Review: This may not be the best Manga in the world but its pretty cool.Totally different from the series though..I was expecting a book..not a comic book...like..with like..2327492 words on each page but..yeah..Anyway I liked the book er..thing..and read it right away.I purrsonaly thought that they went a little over-board with all of the action words like 'POW!' ..and junk..but yeah..xD..Ohwell..Oh!And the story moves waaayyy to quick..and stuff..umm..yeah.. Lates

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good for any GW fan
Review: The world is at war with the space colonies. Relena wants to bring total peace, but the colonies revolt. This story is very intense because its not the usual two sided war-theres other battling views and conflicts involved. Friends end up on the enemies side, etc. Although you should read either the first two books in the series first, or seen the TV episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Domin W
Review: This book is awsome! I am one of the worlds biggest gundam fans, and I would highly recomend this book for anyone who likes gundam. My fav. part is in the back...there is a parody of gundam with all the characters (and some new ones, too) drawn in SD style. Its called DominW and it's really funny. I hope you really like these books as much as I do. Can anyone beat Alenby in videogames? How does Foo like his carots? To find out, you'll have to read all 3!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not for those who have seen the anime
Review: If you've already seen the anime for this series then I seriously doubt that you will like the manga. I give it a three because, while the artwork is nice, the story strays from the series and jerks around horribly. The characters show up at strange times and they are slightly Out Of Character when they do show up. The story is sometimes ahead of itself, skipping events, or the events will come to late to make any difference. I don't recommend this to fans of the anime.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Gundam Wing RD (Reader's Digest)
Review: First off, this 3-part manga series is very different than the anime. Lots of stuff was cut out, some stuff was changed around, and some new stuff was added altogether. Call it "Gundam Wing Lite", if you will. The artwork is pretty good, the parody comics in the back were kind of funny, and Duo's suggestion on how to get Trowa's memories back made me burst out loud laughing (maybe because it was perfectly in character) but I cannot recommend this series. The artwork saves these books from being rated 2-stars. If you want the full experience, check out the series on DVD, then the Endless Waltz movie and the Ground Zero, Blind Target, and Episode Zero comics. But it's safe to skip these books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What can I say? It was pretty funny...!
Review: I watched the T.V. series before this, and I just want to say that if you want the story in it's best form, watch the T.V. series, but if you want some funny/interesting entertainment for about a half hour, read this. I liked it, but I wouldn't have understood it if I hadn't seen it on T.V. since a lot of the details were taken out and the story line was slightly changed. The biggest change was Heero...I laughed my head off! Instead of the norm anti-social, determined "strong-silent type" there is a suicidal maniac that goes around telling people he was going to kill them, and I tell you, it was halarious! The comics in the back were pretty funny, but since I didn't know much about the G Gundam series I had to figure them out. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I laughed my head off.......
Review: I'm pretty sure this book came out after the T.V. show. I saw the show before I read this, and it has the basic story line but who was where and when is really different, and a lot of the characters personalities are completely changed. The comics in the back were close to halarious, and one of the main reasons I laughed at this book is because of Heero. Normally one of my fav. characters, he was pretty much a ruthless maniac, lol! The storyline also goes very fast and doesn't include as many details as the series. Overall, I'd recomend it mainly because it gives you a different veiw point. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great read!
Review: I enjoyed reading this manga, even though I'm in high school. The drawings were nice, the storyline was good, but I also saw that the series went by much, much faster than the anime series. It almost seemed like the artist was trying to rush through the story. But despite this, the manga was pretty great! I look forward to reading the next.
