Blood & Thunder #6

In this issue we get some more interesting storytelling and message building. Benito Cereno is really driving a message home about the privileged and taken advantage of. This message is key and is done very well. Cereno also mixes in some very good action sequences to help entertain the reader and break up some of the tension from the message. With that being said, the story kind of stalls a bit and drags for a lot of this issue. The last few pages with the conversation between the Prisoner and Akeldama really saves this issue and makes it not just another filler issue. Read Full Review

Blood and Thunder remains a tricky series to figure out. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem like Cereno could quicken the pace a bit instead of having lengthy discussions that don't do much to progress the story. Read Full Review

I was wavering on this book the past few issues, with the complete shift in tone and setting, but this issue got me back on board. It's still different than I was expecting, but the "monstrous villain" that the main character was targeting is actually intelligent and mostly just sticking up for the oppressed was a swerve I can appreciate. The way it was talking down to her and disregarding her as if she were a yapping puppy was pretty humorous. My only real gripe is the design of her hair and that bigass forehead lol.

Blood & Thunder #6 - while not horrible makes a great jumping off point. The book was intentionally anticlimactic … with nothing too important to say. I don’t mind a good bait & switch, but the switched out segment needs to at least mean something … not just “see ya next issue”. When I first started reading this series I felt that the writer was just making things up as he went along, now I’m pretty sure. 

I’m out.
