Ivan the Terrible grew Moscow from a medieval nation state to an empire, but he had help. The machinations he used were terrible to behold, as he made a deal with Beelzebub. Kade has been working both sides of this nightmare, except instead of these two being at odds, they are in theory both allies, with each is trying to get the upper hand on the other. Beelzebub hasn’t recognized Kade as the Demon Hunter, but when he begins to realize that Kade will rise to a higher level of power, he plots Kade’s assassination.

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 kind of intriguing glimpse into a supernatural world with potential, but ultimately feels like a somewhat uneven introduction to the comic book series of Kade.

This preview presents a story that blends mystery and action, though it struggles to fully develop its characters or plot within the limited preview format. 

The narrative which this preview has, has some moments of promise, with hints at a deeper mythology and personal stakes for the protagonist, but the pacing feels rushed, leaving little room for emotional connection or world-building.

While the setup of this preview is interesting at times, it doesn’t quite hook me at the very least as strongly as it could have if the preview was more improved and added something to the plot or setup of this preview.

The artwork in this preview is clean and serviceable, effectively conveying the mood and action, but it lacks the distinctive flair that might elevate the story visually.

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
