“Dead Men Tell No Tales #1: Preview” By Dwight L. MacPherson & Fernando Acosta Review

SPECIAL 22-PAGE PREVIEW! In the golden age of piracy, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, and Black Bart Roberts, the three most reviled pirates in history, contend for the most sacred prize the world has ever known — the lost Relics of Christ! This absolute edition collects the entire sold-out series hailed by critics and fans alike as “Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones.” Featuring a cover illustration by Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night).

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 offers us as readers a very captivating blend of action, mystery, and supernatural elements that immediately grabbed my attention and didn’t let it go until the very end of this preview.

This preview has a story that is crafted with both suspenseful and immersive, introducing intriguing characters and a plot filled with secrets and danger. Which I really liked in this preview and because of this I got very interested in reading the full version of this comic book.

The pacing in this preview is very well-balanced, keeping the tension high without rushing through key developments. Which made me give this preview some extra points for doing because a lot of comic books and previews I’ve read in my time had a lot of issues with uneven pacing. But this preview doesn’t have this problem.

The artwork in this preview is a standout feature, combining gritty textures with dynamic layouts that enhance the story’s dark and thrilling atmosphere. I personally liked the artwork in this preview a lot because in my opinion the artwork really adds a lot of good things and interested into this preview. 

The character designs are expressive and detailed, while the action sequences flow smoothly, making for an engaging visual experience.

The only thing which I didn’t like about this preview is that it leaves a lot of questions unanswered which really pissed me off. but at the same time this preview effectively sets the stage for an exciting series ahead.

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 4 / 5
