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 introduces to us a mysterious and shadowy world with potential for depth and intrigue. Which in a end this preview doesn’t live up to.

The concept in this preview is promising. But it was like the creators of this preview didn’t know how to make this preview good and live up to the promising concept it has.

The narration of this preview lacks clarity and cohesion, making it difficult for me to fully grasp the plot or its direction. Which made it very hard for me to like this preview or be interested in buying and reading the full version of this comic book.

The characters in this preview have some hints of complexity but for the majority of this preview the characters remain very underdeveloped. Which for me is a big “no no”.

The protagonist’s motivations and background are not sufficiently explored which left me not caring about the protagonist or get investment in his journey.

The artwork in this preview effectively captures the dark and atmospheric tone of the story which is the only good thing I have to say about this preview.

The illustrations alone cannot compensate for the disjointed narrative. The style aligns with the mood but doesn’t enhance the storytelling clarity.

This preview tries to give us the themes of mystery and morality are suggested but they aren’t thoroughly explored in this preview. The potential for thematic richness exists, yet the lack of narrative focus prevents these elements from resonating effectively with me personally.

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
