Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (Comic) - Thoughts

Sometimes an adaptation is far more well known than the story it originally came from. This is true of quite a few stories over the years, from the Original Wizard of Oz to the 1939 film, to Pinocchio and it's Disney counterpart, to even the Swiss Family Robinson. However, sometimes this does happen in a more modern setting, in a more modern time, as with the case of the Fate of Atlantis.

Everyone knows of the point and click adventure which is touted as the true "4th Movie" of the Indiana Jones series, from it's multiple pathways to it's ending, to Indiana's partner of the story Sophia, and the trip around the world being a sort of bridging point between the Religious Artifacts of the original Trilogy, and the more Space-Time trinkets of the new series.

However, what originally began the Fate of Atlantis, was a comic, one that had a few interesting side pieces and characters cut from the game, a much more fleshed out tale (like one of Kerner's attempts at Atlantean relics actually sending Indiana to the Hospital), to Marcus having more to do with the plot and helping Indiana plan his journey to find Atlantis before the Nazis, and even Sophia gets more to do, with her hi-jacked mind by that of the Atlantean Leader, to actually helping Indy on his adventure to find the clues to the sunken city.

From a fan of the game, it is a refreshing breath of air to read a new version of the tale which captivated Indiana Jones fans even now.
