Revisit the fantasy and the mythology of the Ramayana in this graphic novel reimagination of Valmiki’s great epic. Ramayan 3392 A.D. tells the story of Rama and his brothers who hope to one day use their mighty weapons to bring down the evil demon-lord Ravan.
Summary of the Book
The world has been wracked by nuclear war. In the third age, the world is divided into two continents: Nark and Aryavarta. The last kingdom of humans exists within the confines of a city called Armagarh. This city is governed by the King Dashrath, whose four sons, Rama, Lakshman, Shatrughan and Bharat are mighty warriors. They are sent to the outposts of the kingdom to help them against the Asuras. Rama and his brothers are troubled by the demonic hordes that plague the land and hope to end the war by taking it to the demon-lord, Ravan. However, Ravan is no ordinary demon, and he is far more powerful than anyone realizes. But it is Rama’s destiny to one day face Ravan and destroy him. That is a fate that will need Rama to undergo turmoil unlike any he has ever imagined, and in doing so, he will meet a woman who will change his life forever.

Nice story! Excellent Art! OK paper quality. Poor Cover quality
But the paper quality is fine only, not very good. and the cover will fall off in one reading only.

Very good read
Art & paper:
One of the best penciled and coloured comics I've seen in recent times. But the choice of printing paper is godawful! The paper and printing don't seem to take the colours properly, and you end up with details and contrast being lost.
Note to publisher: Please release a deluxe version (similar to Moore's Killing Joke) with better quality paper and printing.
Story:
The overall plot remains loyal to the original source, and meanders in that gener...

Great story, great concept
Coming to the quality of the printing and binding - it's a whole different story. Sub par paper, dark print (literally!) that steals thunder from the artwork, and bad quality pasting that comes off within 2 days (trust me - I know how to handle books) - not a good exper...

Worth the Price !!
Firstly the story is NOT the exact replica of the original. (To which I'm quite thankful). The Writer has taken the liberty of tweaking a few characters (I've especially loved what he has done to Lakshman and his relation with Ram) and few pivotal events. (which is actually pretty good)
What I loved most about this particular volume is that one need not know all the characters that existed in the original. The Writer has explained the characters' relations, instead of sim...

Amazing
After I reached home checked on flipkart and ordered them,
When I started reading I was amaze with the way story goes and how the characters and goal of ramayana remained same with the twist in story line.
I am sure there is a lot of thought and work has gone through while making of these and it is really worth.
I have ordered the latest ...
