It’s been nearly 50 years since the death of Ezra. Kade is alone and is losing meaning in his life. Unable to sleep, the gothic demon hunter pushes forward walking to new lands and a new adventure. Kade is an ageless entity and his story will span over 3,500 years across various regions and eras.

I need to admit here that this comic book is a very striking, self-assured comic book in the Kade comic book series. 

This comic book has a lot of confidence and it is blending dark fantasy and mythological echoes into a sleek, cinematic prologue. Which I really liked a lot in this comic book.

This comic book has a lot of Eastern mythology which works amazing with the Kade’s brooding, immortal-loner ethos without feeling gimmicky. In a way it is evocative rather than expository, which keeps the mystique intact.

It gives us a fair share of world-building, stakes, and a hook which made me at least want to read deeper into this series. At the same time this comic book does all three with lean dialogue and confident scene transitions, never bogging down in lore-dumps.

Kade in this comic book across as purposeful, restrained, and morally complex. Which in a way made me like him even more than I already did from reading previous comic books in this series. 

The artwork in this comic book has a stark contrasts and cinematic compositions. Panel layouts guide the eye cleanly, and the action choreography lands with clarity and heft. The visual tone feels appropriately austere—almost ritualistic.

The brooding palettes and deliberate of the artwork in this comic book in a way underscore the story’s spiritual and violent currents. At the same time it gives the story a satisfying balance between close-quarters grit and wider, symbolic tableaux.

The writing style in this comic book keeps things spare and meaningful, in a way it is trusting the art to carry subtext

I can easily say that I will be continuing reading this series, because the more I read of it the more I seem to like it.
