Grizzled Action Lab veterans Jeremy Whitley (script) and Jason Strutz (art) bring a tale of myth and mystery with the release of The Order of Dagonet #1! When mythological creatures of ancient Britain return, the call goes out to England’s knights for help. Unfortunately, the call is answered by an aging rock god, a classically trained actor, a writer of boy wizard books, and a pop star in funny glasses!

This comic book introduces us as readers to a pretty unique and fresh take on Arthurian legend which has a modern twist. This comic book is blending fantasy and adventure in an intriguing setting. I personally found this aspect of this comic book to be very intriguing and interesting, which had build my expectations for this comic book pretty high as I was getting into this comic book.

The storytelling aspect of this comic book was very promise, offering an interesting premise and a cast of characters that could develop into something memorable. And here we arrive to the “but” aspect of this comic book. But this comic book sometimes struggles with pacing.

The pacing in this comic book is pretty uneven. Because at times the plot drags out for too long without going anywhere. But most of the time the plot feels very rushed which leaves a lot of interesting or intriguing parts of this comic book underexplored or underdeveloped because of how the plot rushes over some aspects of this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book is easily my favorite aspect of this comic book. The artwork here effectively conveys the mood and tone. At the same time the artwork gives us a solid character designs and atmospheric backgrounds that help ground the story. 

The artwork in this comic book is pretty appealing. But there are moments in the artwork where the action sequences could be clearer which weren’t. Which had impacting the overall flow of the story in this comic book in a negative way in my opinion here.

The characters in this comic book are pretty okay for the most part. The characters in this comic book weren’t the best I’ve seen in a comic book. Because the characters here lacked something that would make them unique and standout from the rest of the characters in this comic book. But also the characters in this book doesn’t have a lot of personalities to them.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
