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.
This preview sets up a fascinating universe where hunting exotic creatures is the norm. Which remind me a little bit of star wars and the creatures we find in the star wars universe which made me give this preview some extra points for.
The concept of this preview is creative and intriguing, and in a way it had engaged me in the expansive world filled with potential adventures which this preview presents us.
But I gotta admit here that the storyline feels at times pretty basic and introductory. Because this preview leaves some plot elements unexplored because this is only the preview of the full version of a comic book. But still it annoyed me a little bit since the plot elements I was interested in, in this preview were left unexplored at the end of this preview.
The characters we are introduced to in this preview have a lot of potential to be very good characters in the full version of this comic book.
All of the characters we get in this preview hints of having a lot of complexity and depth in the full version of this comic book, which in a way got me interested in the full version of this comic book.
However this preview annoyed me a lot because this preview doesn’t give us the characters’s backgrounds or personalities. Because I really wanted to see that in this preview to see if the characters in the full version of this comic book was worth reading the full version of this comic book.
The artwork in this comic book is pretty vibrant and detailed which effectively capturing the exotic and fantastical elements of the narrative.
In a way the artwork in this comic book enhance the immersive quality of the story, bringing the unique setting to life.
This preview gives us the themes of exploration, survival, and discovery which are very well woven throughout the narrative, which are adding layers of intrigue to the main storyline of this preview. While these themes are compelling, their exploration remains surface-level in the preview, likely to be expanded in the full series.
So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I don’t know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.
I Give This Book 3 / 5
