Very well written and drawn. I'm not exactly crazy with the coloring (mostly, the choice of colors used) but, I guess that was the look they were going for. I am very happy with the story( I LOVE Eric Trautmann) and the redesigns of the different races on Mongo. I would also recommend that you read "Merciless" by Scott Beatty and Ron Adrian. It's the origin of Ming the Merciless, and it fills in a lot of the holes of Ming's back story. It's also a good read, with great art.

Good take on Flash Gordon.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic from start to finishs!
When I say start to finish, I mean from ordering the book to receiving it and reading it! Book arrived on time and in great condition. It has beautiful artwork and a really solid, great story. Being a fan of Flash since the 70's, I loved the updated storyline and designs. Alex Ross did an amazing job getting this project going. Dynamite has been a little hit and miss with me, but this one is definitely a HIT!
5.0 out of 5 stars New and old
Great mix of old and the movie
3.0 out of 5 stars Great premise that gets abandoned too quickly.
Most people's knowledge of Flash Gordon is probably limited to the 1980 movie, and if that's true for you, you should enjoy Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist. It follows the same basic plot structure as the 1980 movie. It borrows specific scenes and even bits of dialogue from the 1980 movie as well; it gets to the point that the narration describes the title character as someone who will "save every one of us". In many ways, it's an introduction to the classic Flash Gordon. However, being set in 1934, it takes actual history into account, showing an alliance between Ming the Merciless and Hitler, and, in the series' best single issue, tying Dr. Zarkov's backstory to the Russian Revolution and Stalin. There's even a slick reference to 1980s cartoon Defenders of the Earth. For the most part, Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist is nothing that readers didn't already see in the 1980 movie (or the 1930s serials, for that matter). The only element that feels somewhat fresh is a subplot that follows a team of aliens on Earth combating Ming's invasion, but little is done with the premise. Where the series begins to take off is in the last few issues, picking up where most Flash Gordon stories leave off: the heroes overthrowing Ming and becoming the rulers of Mongo. The final few issues take things in an intriguing direction, showing the difficulties in uniting the feuding kingdoms of the planet and dealing with the idea that Ming, while merciless, perhaps provided a necessary strong hand. Just as things start to get interesting, the series ends, and rather abruptly too. The artwork ranges from quite good to average; there are a few spots where characters are indistinguishable and a handful of battle scenes where the action is incomprehensible, but not many. The Alex Ross covers for the series, and the painted-style art of the series goes a long way to show that nobody can do Alex Ross' style as well as Alex Ross, I guess.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good read!
Wow, I really enjoyed vol. 1! How can I read the next vol.??? It doesn't seem to be available to buy on Kindle.

It's what I wanted and more. Brought back memories of the 1980 animated series and movie special on NBC.
3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but Rushed
Flash Gordon Zeitgeist is a fun revisiting of the Flash Gordon story that contains visual and story references to just about every version of Flash Gordon to ever come out. As a fan of all things Flash Gordon I enjoyed all of references that appear in this volume, and while the art is terrific the overall story felt rushed and somewhat rote. There were some new elements to the story, but overall it really needed to be a few issues longer to give those new elements time to develop.

Fantastic Graphics! Story line never out of date. Feels like it is written in today's technology world. Wow !! Wow !!
Zeitgeist
You get a solid story, with some excellent art work, but may be one too many competing story strands leads to over-complication. The real gem in this purchase is the last 28 pages which are full of Alex Ross sketches and alternate covers. A must for any Flash Gordon fan.
A very positive surprise from an all times carácter.
Great book and story, with a gorgeous art and a very classic 80's flavour. If you are a Flash Gordon fan don't miss this book!
Enttäuschend
Flash Gordon, geschaffen 1934, war ohne Zweifel prägend für die gesamte Comic-Welt."Zeitgeist" versucht, Alex Raymonds ursprüngliche Geschichte mit den heutigen Möglichkeiten der grafischen Gestaltung neu zu erzählen - Auf Speed.Alles geht viel zu schnell: Ein bekannter Charakter nach dem anderen wird in die Handlung geworfen, kaum einer Figur wird die Gelegenheit gegeben, irgendeine Tiefe zu entwickeln. Stattdessen wird viel gekämpft, ohne daß die Kampfszenen besonders beeindruckend oder furchteinflößend wirken - Meistens sind sie nur verwirrend.Selbst die Geschichte kapituliert früh vor dem viel zu hohen Tempo: Flash Gordon kämpft mit allem und jedem, Dale Arden ist die Trophäe und Zarkov ist das Mastermind mit dem Plan.Alles andere löst sich irgendwie in Nichts auf.Das alles bleibt leider weit hinter dem zurück, was man von einem "Flash Gordon Restart" erwarten würde.
