The Art of ReBoot is the most comprehensive collection of art from the groundbreaking CGI animated series. It features conceptual design illustrations from UK legend, Brendan McCarthy (Judge Dredd, Shade the Changing Man, Solo). Also illustrations from Scott Lee (PITT Crew) and Dean Ormstrom (Lucifer) and many others. The artbook also features a 10 page section of new artwork from leading industry artists. A must-have for any ReBoot and animation fans!

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This preview offers us the artistic journey behind “ReBoot. Which ive heard was a big part of a lot of people’s childhoods but not mine since I never heard about this series before reading this preview.

The artwork is very stunning and it offers us a unique animation style to this preview. Since the illustrations are vibrant and showcase the creativity that went into bringing the digital world of Mainframe to life.

We as readers get the behind-the-scenes glimpses of character designs, concept art, and the evolution of the visual style throughout the series.

One of the things which annoyed me a lot in this preview was the lack of cohesive narrative. Since the storyline in this preview often feels disjointed and lacking in depth. We don’t get a lot of context about the creative process or insights into the challenges faced by the artists and animators of this series.

The information we do get in this preview feels somewhat surface-level, which can leave fans craving a deeper exploration of the show’s legacy.

In my opinion this preview could have included more diverse perspectives from the various contributors. While there are some interesting anecdotes, the voices feel limited, and a broader range of insights would have enriched the overall experience. Because I think it would have helped to capture the collective effort that went into creating such an innovative series.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
