Best Tintin Comics
I watched the movie based on this comic, and it's great.
This has a very thick suspense and treasure hunt quality in it.
The Calculus Affair is an awesome Tintin comic book. The genre of this comic book cannot be defined, as it contains thrilling adventures, a really well-constructed plot, suspense/mystery, and, of course, some exclusive comic relief. This was my first Tintin comic. I hope it will remain the best forever...
I like it very much.
Funny, action-packed, and well plotted.
At last, a top ten Tintin list with Tintin in America on it. My all-time favorite Tintin book. I love it from start to finish.
It's not my top favorite comic, but it's my top favorite episode of the '90s TV series.
Too good. Bad for the gangsters of Chicago.
This is a valuable lesson: never call Calculus a goat. Also, never spray Calculus with water.
My favorite. Calculus actually gets mad!
Probably the best Tintin book ever!
Tintin in Tibet has a double meaning about friendship. I love Chang as the characterization of Tintin's best friend from China. The atmosphere is also beautiful, especially with the Chinese Buddhists. A masterpiece!
Beautiful, visually and storywise. Elegant, simple, yet very deep. Brilliant!
I love all the books, but for some reason, this one captivated me the most. For one, it has the debut of Calculus, and the bits set in the ocean and on the island were very well thought out.
This and Prisoners of the Sun are the best Tintin adventures. But truth be told, I love them all.
I was pretty disturbed when I found Cigars of the Pharaoh in first place. There were a handful of loose ends at the end, all of which were "tightened" by The Blue Lotus. I'm not going to say anything about the plot to avoid spoilers, but I will mention that Tintin first met Chang in this book. So Tintin in Tibet, which is one place higher and features Chang heavily, could not have happened without this book.
Now, already breaking my spoiler alert rule, I never would have expected old Rastapopoulos as an antagonist. Then again, if he wasn't, Hergé may as well not have included him. The madman who tried to cut off Tintin's head was hilarious, and his "experiment" with Snowy was comedy gold, like the rest of the book.
The storyline is very good! Nice twist!
This one's so funny! Why isn't it higher?
The artwork is amazing, and so is the twist in the tale, as well as the fact that it takes place over only 24 hours. Some critics say it is just a lame action piece. There is a lot more going on, especially with the developmental psychology of Carreidas and others, if you look past the machine guns. The only better artwork was in The Picaros, possibly.
I like how this one has more fantasy in it, especially the part with the giant mushrooms. It is the most exciting.
1. The Shooting Star
2. Destination Moon
3. Cigars of the Pharaoh
4. Tintin in America
5. Red Rackham's Treasure
6. The Secret of the Unicorn
7. The Crab with the Golden Claws
8. The Broken Ear
Though Tintin wasn't the main protagonist in this case, due to this entry being the first time we meet Haddock, it was still a great story. We also meet First Mate Allan, who happens to be my favorite Tintin villain.
The Thom(p)sons were hilarious in this, especially the ending when they accuse Omar Ben Salaad of selling opium, which he denies. Then, just as he is about to pull the trigger, Allan breaks the bookcase behind him, saving the Thom(p)sons!
The artwork is amazing, although it has been dated too strongly with 1970s references, so it is not timeless in that respect. Some say the main characters are lifeless, but this is progression. They have lived and experienced many adventures, which would change us as well.
It has a finale air to it, and it is fitting as it is the last Tintin adventure.
A great adventure in Africa. Sadly, it is hated by today's ignorant and totalitarian youth.
A mild portrayal of the savage socialist regime that killed millions of innocents. Still, a nice adventure.
This was the very first Tintin book. It was in black and white, but it was still an instant classic.
With simple drawings, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets is one of the most attractive Tintin magazines out there.
Tintin goes back to Syldavia! I agree it was an episode/movie first, but it has been a book too.
Even though it is unfinished, the classic action is entertaining. The simple sketches are nicely drawn, and the fact that it doesn't have a canon ending makes it one of the most important Tintin magazines.
