10 Page preview! In Sunset Canyon, Colorado, there’s trouble in town. When a lone rider enters the town to clean things up, he’s killed by something mysterious. His body is left to rot in the desert…where a wagon train passes it. ‘What’s that, Pa?’ a young boy asks. ‘Nothing we need to bother with,’ says a man. The man’s name is Elias Kade.

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

The concept of this preview centers around a mysterious protagonist navigating a world of magic and conflict. Which at first sounded very interesting and intriguing for me personally. But after reading this preview I realized that the narrative lacks clarity and cohesion. The storyline feels fragmented, which left me with an unclear understanding of the plot’s direction.

The main character in this preview had the potential of being a very good main character. But he has very little personality which would make him standout or make him memorable. His motivations and background are not fully explored, making it difficult for me personality to care about his journey throughout this preview. 

The side characters in this preview appear very briefly and lack development. The side characters also add very little to the overall narrative or the storyline itself.

The artwork in this preview is the best part of this preview. The artwork is visually striking, capturing the dark, mystical atmosphere of the setting. The artwork is detailed and engaging. 

This preview tries to give us the themes of destiny and inner conflict. Which would have been very good themes if the they were developed fully, because in this preview the themes feel very underdeveloped and unexplored to a certain degree. 

So will I buy and read the full version of this comic book ? I don’t think I will. The main reason behind this is how poorly this preview was very uninteresting for me personally.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
