^Actually I dont think the writers and artist really thought it through which was a reoccuring failing of the comic series where a lot of the dialogue seemed regurgiated almost verbatim from the series. They really should allow for more character growth and depth. I hope the next series is better but I have my doubts.

Ah. I'm always a little torn on that sort of thing. On one hand I understand using quotes from the series as a guidepost for the new material/help keep it connected, or perhaps trying to call on the nostalgia factor to appease some of the fans, but if it depends too heavily on it then it feels like you're not getting your money's worth. It's why I disliked the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 movie; too many of the jokes were just rehashed versions of the first movie's jokes. It was immediately annoying.
But I have hope that The Search will fare better. The Promise series was Gene's first venture into this thing atla-wise, so there was necessary soft-treading to be had. (here's hoping that rephrasing made any sense.) But this will be a new series, so hopefully lessons learned from the first books will be applied, and that there will be more wiggle room for more depth and original dialogue. At the very least there will have to be dialogue-wise, since there is so little known about what happened to Ursa.

Yeah, there will certainly have to be more dialoge in The Search. I really wish that it could be presented some way other than a comic, maybe diary entries from Ursa or something (not that I expect that or anything though). I just hope we don't get shortchanged on the story after we have waited so long.
