I'm possibly not the best qualified to review a comic, but I will share my thoughts.You can watch the animated first comic here v.v. cool.
The artwork is just the sort of thing I like, dark and moody, it's gorgeous & the use of colour was clever and emotive nicely complimenting the story. So far so good.
It's only the first issue which makes it hard to asses the story but again it's a good start.
It seems to be following in the footsteps of ronin samurai style stories, a lone warrior and his sword, I suspect a dark history to be involved somewhere. I'm not complaining, I love that type of tale so am perfectly happy to be thrown in. I am interested to see where it goes, which I suppose is the point.
The basic premise is that the lead character has been given seven days to collect seven souls to be freed from hell and I have to say that really apeals to me, it's a great idea and beautifully drawn so well worth a look. Also they got a great recommendation from Clive Barker who is the last word in dark as far as i am concerned. Really if he thinks it rocks you don't need to hear anything more from me.
The "blog from another world" has an interview with Sebastian for those wanting to know more.
I suspect that this will be on my ereader before Christmas Day is out (love my husband for taking the hint).
