Dec 11, 2022The artwork is of similar high quality. Ryan Kelly's characters all look distinctive and have unique appearances, which is surprisingly rare in most of the fantasy comics I've read. The colors by Jordie Bellaire are uncharacteristically muted and dark, but this suits the setting and quick establishes it as a dark, dreadful world. There are no colorful fairies or happy endings to be found here! In any case, this is a must-read for all fantasy fans. Read Full Review

Dec 14, 2022Quite a bit of world-building can be found in Assassin's Apprentice #1, though it sets about doing so mostly through dialogue, and that helps keep you bonded to Fitz's journey through this harsh and cold world. Read Full Review
