Plot: World-renowned archaeologist Indiana Jones travels the world in search of treasure and trouble in the first three stories of the omnibus. As he seeks his quarry, he discovers action and supernatural artifacts. His journeys inevitably bring him in contact with World War II superpowers, crooked leaders, deadly hitman, and, unfailingly, femme fatales.
Genre: Comics, Graphic Novel
Reading Level: Aimed at teens, but younger and older readers may enjoy it, too.
Similar Titles: Star Wars Omnibus, Indiana Jones movies
Personal Thoughts: The book is good, but not remarkable. Most of the stories are exciting, but predictable. The graphics echo the stylized realism typical of superhero comics in a manner which displays the story, but not in an exceptional way. The plots seem slightly rushed and the characters, with the exception of Jones, suffered from underdevelopment. Still the humor and dialog remineces the movies quite effectively. Overall, the book is good, but has room for improvement.
As a side note, it bugs me a bit when an omnibus has multiple volumes. I'm not sure why.
