It followed the story of the book pretty well, but the book is much too in-depth to show in a graphic novel. I did enjoy it though. The artwork is very well done.

Speaker for the Dead, Orson Scott Card
Speaker for the Dead, Orson Scott Card -- 128 pages
This is the graphic novel of the third book in the Ender Quartet, Speaker for the Dead. Ender Wiggin is going to Lusitania to speak the deaths of Pipo, Libo, and Marcao, but there is more going on that just the speaking. Strife has broken out between human colonists and the native Pequeninos. The one who once wiped out an entire species, might be able to bring back that species, as well as prevent another one from being destroyed.
