In the near future, an already unstable world alliance is set into turmoil when a trio of American teens (David, Carrie, & Dean) are arrested in a foreign country and forced to participate in a highly-televised and brutally twisted version of the Olympic Games called The Deathsport Games. A cadre of sadistic Sportsmen stand between the three youths and their freedom, but losing the games means losing their lives. It’s post-apocalyptic sports adventure at it’s finest with high speed action sequences written by Ain’t It Cool News’ Mark L. Miller and gritty art by newcomer Roy Stewart!

I heard a lot of good about this comic book series, so thats the reason why I decided to give this comic book a shot. And I gotta admit here that I wasn’t a big fan of this comic book. But as always I will explain everything in this review. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts about this comic book then keep reading.

This comic book tires to blend sci-fi, action, and a touch of campy charm, which was a fun and interesting premise for me. But ultimately this comic book falls short of its potential.

The story itself in feels disjointed and lacks the thrilling momentum which I’ve heard was big in this series. But this comic book didn’t live up to the hype of this comic books series. 

The premise of this comic book revolves around an arena where combatants engage in deadly games for survival, which sounds promising. But the way the premise is presented to us leaves much to be desired. Because of how flat and one-dimensional the premise is presented us as.

The characters in this comic book are very shallow and one-dimensional. They dont have nay personalities or something which would make them standout and be memorable for us as readers. The characters’s motivations feel thinly sketched and very underdeveloped. 

The dialogues in this comic book have some humor to them occasionally. But for the most part the dialogues feel very flat but also they lack the sharp wit or memorable lines that could elevate the experience.

The creators of this comic book tried to create a dystopian world filled with intrigue and danger in this comic book. But the narrative we actually got in this comic book often stumbles over itself, leading to a pacing that feels uneven and sluggish.

The action scenes in this comic book are sometimes confusing and fail to deliver the adrenaline rush that which I expected to see in this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book was really the highlight of this entire comic book. Because t was very vibrant and it played well with the storyline of this comic book.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
