Ratings and Reviews I loved the book as a kid I can't believe I payed for this, it wasn't as great as I remember. I passed it a lot faster than last time. Genius! Thank you for the breakthrough approach to interactive comics! Brilliant! Love it! I own the hardcover book this app is derived from. Awesomes: This is a fantastic implementation of the interactive comic. I dig that it's not just jammed into an app, but that the flow and structure have been re-thought so that it's a block instead of pages. The controls are intuitive, worked right off the bat. It's also cool that you let players just browse the whole shebang; that was possible in book form (obviously) and could have easily been "restricted" in digital form in some misguided attempt to make it more game-like, or challenging. Kudos!Complaints: on a retina device the images are a little aliased/blocky. I assume the whole thing is half resolution for memory reasons. Maybe an HD release in the future? I'm playing on a 4S. My only other gripe is the icon. Edit the plist file and turn off the automatic shine! Also maybe a thin, dark border around

But of course the two will eventually prove to be connected. As a mystery I think it works quite well. It draws the reader from one clue to the next, and does so fairly logically. And one gradually realises what is going on. By the time Hergé wrote this one, he had become a good writer. This isn't the barely connected cliffhangers that one got in the first few books, but a plot that well thought out.This is obviously a children's book, and they are not just about the adventure. The other angle of the Tintin formula is the humour. He mixes these two elements together in the books to various degree. Here he does a good job with mixes these elements together into a great cocktail. Thomson and Thompson are in good comic form, but the humour doesn't just rest on them, but also on Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and other characters. At the same time none of these characters are there just for the humour, even Thomson and Thompson get their moments where they show something else. It all just works wonderfully together in this volume.belgian-literature comic-book971 reviews228 followersNovember 3, 2020First published in French in 1943 as The Secret of the Unicorn (Le Secret de la Licorne.

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Note S Pen SDK, the toolkit to allow developers to code apps for the pen-enabled phone/tablet hybrid, will be released in December. Meanwhile, the company has also revealed a selection of new pen-enabled third-party apps for the Note: OmniSketch, ComicBook! and Sooner Workplace.AdvertisementOmniSketch is familiar from the iPad, of course, a drawing and sketching app that has impressed artists with its flexibility and precision. Samsung will allow for basic editing and annotation in the native Gallery app on the Galaxy Note – permitting annotation on both photos and video – but OmniSketch will take those capabilities one step further. As for Comic Book, that's a more humorous art tool, also familiar from the iPad, allowing users to create their own comic books complete with box-outs, speech bubbles and effects. Finally, Sooner Workplace takes the Galaxy Note into the enterprise, with pen-enabled support for communal documents and document editing.It's unclear what Samsung intends to do when it comes to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which Google unveiled earlier in the month. Ice Cream Sandwich already has native support for pen input, including pressure recognition, hover tracking and nib-tilt, with differentiation between pen and finger use.Advertisement

Meanwhile, back at the office... Plunging straight into questions of authenticity, this is a game that truly answers the calling for genuine comic book thrills. All the elements are there: the corny wise-cracks, the larger than life superheroes, the ruthlessly inefficient villains.Spider-Man, in particular, looks fantastic in his transition into 3D and executes his plethora of moves just as would be expected of him. The supporting cast and characters carry off their own distinctive stylings quite well, bringing more to mind the recent Saturday morning cartoon than anything else.The levels themselves don't hold up quite so well, though. While projecting an adequate comic-book feel, they are still a little bland sometimes. Because of the game's console origins, of course, and we knew from the start that they weren't going to make major improvements, but it seems' a shame when the PC is capable of a lot more detail. Still, that's something we're going to have to live with, so we might as well look at the game itself.The Supporting CastIn a genre that doesn't rely heavily on plot, don't expect anything too substantial. While the story draws its influences from the comic, it's basically just an excuse to shove in a handful of differently themed levels leading to a fair few rapidly-skewed plot U-turns along the way. It's self-contained and plays out more like a 'best of' collection than something that carries on the continuity of the comics. No bad thing, of course, and at least they concede to the introduction of something moderately new at the end for fans. With an array of villains throughout the years, they were spoilt for choice when deciding who to include, but most of the more well-known names manage to squeeze themselves in, from Doctor Octopus, Venom and Mysterio, with others like The
