Today’s post is on Bloodborne #1 by Ales Kot and illustrated by Piotr Kowalski. It is 29 pages long and is published by Titan. The cover is a beautiful picture of Yharnam with the hunter in the center. The intended reader is someone who is interested in and familiar with the video game. There is foul language, no sex, and lots of violence in this comic. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- From the creators of Dark Souls, a brand new comic series spinning out of Fromsoftware/Hidetaka Miyazaki's critically-acclaimed, best-selling Bloodborne videogame! Nominated for eight Golden Joystick Awards! Awakening in an ancient city plagued by a twisted endemic – where horrific beasts stalk the shadows and the streets run slick with the blood of the damned – a nameless hunter embarks on a dangerous quest in search of Paleblood… Written by Image Comics superstar Ales Kot (Generation Gone), with artwork by Piotr Kowalski (Sex, Dark Souls).
Review- The story is very familiar if you have played the game. A nameless hunter moving through the night of the purge in Yharnam, meets different people, and is killed by a Beast. The hunter wakes up in the Hunter’s Dream and it all starts over again. Until the hunter meets a child with Paleblood. The comic does a very good job of the death, rebirth, fight, then death cycle that is the heart of any Soulsborne game play. I liked the storyline, having someone of paleblood in the story, which in the game you are told to seek the paleblood. The art is very pretty with all the gothic themes and rolling darkness that is the constant in the game. If you are a fan of the game then you need to read this comic. I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next volume.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library.
