It comes from a very pretentious place, criticizing other comics that are inspired by the movie rather than the actual text (despite the fact that the most famous graphic novels and illustrated editions simply Do Not Do That). 
It is honestly one of the most poorly made comics I have ever read. The art style is among the ugliest I've ever seen. The text is ripped straight from the book, which is fine, however it is most certainly not done in moderation. One of the first things I learned in a comic class was "do not have more than 35-50 words in panel." There is probably as much text on some of these pages as there is in the original novel. In certain cases, I think it works. Gris Grimly keeps most of Walton's letters in full, but stylizes the pages to look as though they're the actual letters. He keeps large paragraphs but treats the rest of the page as illustrations for the excerpts rather than cramming them into panels. 

Overall, bad comic and I was miserable the entire time.
