Kevin Pourmostofi Comic Reviews

On top of the great story, there are a plethora of extra bonuses given, which may come as a happy surprise to readers. For example, at the end of the comic, there is a note from the author, Andrew Fielden, outlining what inspired him to come up with such a great, yet simple story, yet also warning us about the power, and perhaps, the lack of power the abuse of alcohol will bring to your life. To top it all off, there are some lovely additional character sketches at the back of the book, this time in full, vibrant color, provided by the wonderful and very talented artist, Jesse Davidge!

The only thing I could fault with it is the pacing of the story " some parts are long and could have been cut a lot shorter without compromising on quality and, on the flip-side, a few parts were shorter and could have been expanded upon"

The art in the comic is done by Agustin Padilla who, other than a few inconsistencies with the game, captures the graphic art style very well indeed. I had a few problems with Lilith's and Marcus' faces, as they seemed too smooth and weren't on par with the game. This said, if you hadn't played the games and had jumped into the series with no prior knowledge, it wouldn't be noticeable. Other than that, the environment was done great, the shading had the style of the games and the bandits were done in good detail.

Overall, the story was very good, with plenty of plot twists along the way that kept me alert. The art could have been better, but was OK nonetheless. I'd recommend picking this up, acknowledging the flaws but simply reading and enjoying the story as it is interesting and a breath of fresh air to read.
