Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Ground Zero: Ground Zero

I've always wanted to get Gundam Wing: Ground Zero because I'm a big fan of the series. I greatly enjoyed reading this volume (though I'm saddened that it's so short), and I like how the author made it humorous and tried to show the events that happened before Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. I almost wish there were a continuation of Gundam Wing after the Endless Waltz. ^-^;; I recommend buying both this and Gundam Wing: Blind Target (it's quite rare to find). It's worth the buy. ^-^

This book is great! Besides the great artowork, the author did very well on keeping you on the edge till the end.It explains a lot of what happens in EW. Like why they sent the gundams, and why Wing Zero suddenly was upgraded. It also explains why Wufie didnt send his gundam. It's a must read, real good!

At this moment, I do not know whether or not this manga associates or even connects with the "Blind Target" manga, but it doesn't matter. This comic is called Reku Fuyunagi's "version" of the time period between the Gundam Wing anime series and the Endless Waltz movie, and it is very good.For those who are familiar with the three-volume Gundam Wing manga (for good or ill), this manga will definately appear different in almost very way. For starters, "Ground Zero" involved the work of a leading shoujo (girls) manga artist, so don't expect any Gundam mecha fighting and expect a lot of emotional confrontations between the characters. A few of the characters (particularly Relena and Wufei) are drawn in a way that makes them look younger than they really are, almost like 10-year olds. But that doesn't mean a Gundam fan, male as well as female, can't enjoy this delightful work.Being influenced by a shoujo artist, the characterization and emotional tensions are a lot more apparent and satisfying than the Gundam Wing three-volume manga. And it isn't always serious; one minute Heero looks determined and serious, and the next he resembles a by-stander from "Sailor Moon". The action found here might not be too satisfying to readers who want hard-core mecha action fight scenes, but for me this manga shows a side of "Gundam Wing" that defines the series. After all, if "Gundam Wing" didn't have its complex story and deep characterization, it would be nothing more than an animated version of "Power Rangers." There's also the added bonus of Trowa actually laughing more than once (it's true!) and Relena lovers will definately love the last part of the manga.Of course, nothing's perfect, and this is no exception. Fans of both the series and the Endless Waltz movie will find a few inconsistencies here, but anyone except a purist perfectionist can easily overlook them.All in all, this is a worthy addition to the Gundam Wing universe, despite being someone's "version." For (the majority of) female readers, it'll show the side of the anime they enjoyed through the Gundam battles and fights. For (the majority of) male readers, it'll show the factor that made sure "Gundam Wing" wasn't just another mindless mecha-robot show.
