Summary: An excellent read for anyone of all ages
Review: Elfquest - Fire and Flight has to be one of my favourite fantasy books that I have read. At first I was skeptical about reading a novel based on comics, and it has been sitting on my shelf for about 2 years before I thought about reading it. At first I thought it was very childish and rather silly but after the part about the meeting with the trolls, I started to get into the story. To summarise the plot as simply as possible, the story is basically about a group of elves (Wolfriders), driven from the forest after it has been destroyed by humans, and their journey across a desert to a place known as Sorrow's End, which is inhabited by another group of elves. There Cutter, the leader of the Wolfriders, meets Leetah, a healer from Sorrow's End and they know each other through what the elves call "Recognition".(Read the book to find out about this!). An elf, called Rayek, who is in love with Leetah, is hateful of Cutter and is jealous of him.I really enjoyed how the authors drew out all the characters, especially Cutter and Leetah, and because of this and the simplicity of the story, one can guess how the story would evolve and pan out as one can guess how the characters would behave. That is not a bad thing. Believe me. Even though the story is short, it is an engrossing and entertaining read. I believe the reason why I liked this book a lot has to deal with the emotions and feelings the Wolfriders undergo, especially the part where they travel through the desert. We have Cutter trying his best as leader trying to hold his tribe of Wolfriders together, Skywise and his trust in the "magical stone" and the love Nightfall has for Redlance, and the anguish of the elves and wolves. All the emotions are portrayed briefly and powerfully. You see many examples of the good and bad side of elven nature which can easily be translated into our lives and which makes the reader feel good all over.
I recommend this story/comic to anyone who wants to read an inspiring story, abut the strength of the elven (human) spirit and how love overcomes all.

Summary: A lifechanging and incredibly coming of age story
Review: ElfQuest impacted my life in ways I'll probably never be able to comprehend. I first read the comics that make up this graphic novel when I was 13, and I was hooked. I collected all the reprints of the original series I could find, and then found my way to more. This story of love, honour, betrayal, and being one with nature is a must-read for anyone from 8-80. If you find comic books a little daunting and/or simplistic, there are novels as well. Perhaps read those and then come back to the comics and allow them to fill in the blanks. A marvellous gift for a creative kid or an adult who hasn't lost that gleam in their eye.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I first read this book ten years ago, and I have read it at least twenty more since. Aside from being the best comic book ever written or drawn, it is a sensitive, exciting, and fantastic epic anyone can enjoy. If you are not into fantasy just yet... don't worry. You will be after reading the story of the Wolfriders. The World of Two Moons does not let go of its captives easily! Happy reading!

Summary: Monumental work of science fiction!! Hooowl for the Pinis.
Review: I grew up reading this series with the original black and white single issues with the awesome character sketches on the back. I feel that this world of Elfquest allowed me and my friends to escape into a world of wonder and excitement that I feel everyone who is lucky enough to experience will benefit from. I feel honored to write this review 15 years after I read my 1st Elfquest and still feel the nostalgia of running through the woods in my childhood neighborhood howling and climbing trees in our imaginery holt. Thanks to the Pinis for this treasure from my childhood!

Summary: The original is wonderful!
Review: I had always seen ElfQuest on the shelves at different bookstores and I was always fast to pass it up. Recently, one of my friends who works on a Renissance fair circuit got me to read Fire and Flight and I fell in love. The drawings are nice and the characters well developed (Skywise, Redlance, and Cutter forever!). The story is well rounded and all in all it's one heckuva beautiful read.

Summary: A great relief!
Review: I have waited for elves to be portrayed in this way! Cutter and his followers (Tree Stump, One-Eye, Strong Bow, etc.) are absolutely captivating. The whole Elfquest series is breath taking and well planned. Definately a good read.

Review: I own the whole EQ series in its original, softcover editions. Nothing compares to its brilliance in color. But the black and white edition is good as well. Invest in this one and you'll want the rest in no time!

Summary: Pure Excellence
Review: I picked this up about 9 years ago and have been hooked ever since. At the time i was not a comicbook or fantasy fan, but this book has changed that. This is a series that can keep you glued to the pages for hours. Wendy Pini is an amazing author, and her artwork is just as great. You will love this series.
