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.

The concept of this preview  hints at an adventure with potential. But they way the concept is presented to us in this preview makes it feel very lacking of clarity and engagement. 

The narrative of this preview feels very disjointed and underdeveloped. Which made it very difficult for me to stay focused in the plot or become invested in the story.

The characters in this preview are introduced to us without any sufficient depth to them or any form of background. Which really made me care about them.

The main character as well as the side characters in this preview felt very lacking of clear motivations and personalities which really left me not invested in their journey in this preview. Because this lack of development made it very difficult for me to care about their outcomes.

The artwork in this preview has moments of visual appeal, but for the most part it struggles to elevate the narrative. The illustrations in this preview feel most of the time pretty inconsistent and don’t effectively convey the story, contributing to the overall sense of confusion

This preview tries to give us the themes of exploration and adventure. But in reality these themes in this preview are very underdeveloped or unexplored. Because of the lack of cohesive storytelling prevents these elements from resonating 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 1 / 5

This preview sets up a narrative centered around psychological tension and mystery. Which I personally found to be very interesting and intriguing. Because I tend to love stories about the psychological mind fuck mystery and horror.

This preview has a concept which is engaging and has the huge promise of suspense and depth. Which really shown how much potential this preview had. 

The storyline is very interesting because it is about all the things I love in horror and mystery stories. But at times the storyline in this preview seems somehow underdeveloped which left me wanting more depth and details to the storyline to fully be interested enough to buy and read the full version of this comic book. 

The characters in this preview had a lot of intriguing potential. But the potential in this preview wasn’t used fully in my opinion. 

The main character in this preview shows signs of complexity, though their full depth and motivations are not completely explored in the preview.

When it comes to the side characters in this preview, I gotta admit that they were pretty average in this preview. Because they don’t have a lot of personalities which makes them standout as much as the main character.

Enter Alex Crane, a slacker college student with a crappy job and problems with his girlfriend. When Alex blunderingly releases the ancient evil, he’ll have more to worry about than rent and his love life.

This comic book tries to blend the elements of fantasy and adventure, but in doing so, it misses the mark a lot in my opinion. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts about this comic book, then keep reading.

The concept of this comic book involves a mix of mystical elements and modern-day settings. But the narrative of this comic book makes the concept of this comic book feel very lacking.

The storyline itself in this comic book feels very disjointed and confusing,  which left me with an unclear understanding of the plot and the direction in which this comic book tried to go.

The characters in this comic book were without sufficient depth or clarity. At the same time, it was very hard to find a character with any form of personality in this comic book because the characters with personalities didn’t exist in this comic book.

The main character lacks any form of personality or something that would make the main character stand out or be memorable to us as readers. The main character didn’t have any backstory or motivations at all in this comic book. This really made it difficult for me to like the main character or be invested in his journey throughout this comic book.

The side characters in this comic book aren’t better than the main character, which I already talked about. All of the side characters in this comic book don’t have any development or personalities of their own. At the same time, none of the side characters in this comic book added anything to the narrative of the comic book or the story as a whole.

The artwork in this comic book had some appealing moments throughout this comic book. But for the most part, the artwork in this comic book felt very cluttered, which I found to be very distracting at times. 

This comic book tries to give us the themes of fantasy and adventure, which I mentioned at the beginning of this review. The themes that this comic book tries to give us aren’t explored, and they seem very underdeveloped if the creators of this comic book didn’t know what they were doing. 

The potential for thematic depth exists, but the lack of cohesive storytelling prevents these elements from resonating with me personally. Of course, it can be just me being the picky reader that I am. But that’s my thoughts on this comic book.
