Today’s post is on Bloodborne: A Song of the Crows by Aleš Kot, illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, Brad Simpson. It is 31 pages long and is published by Titan Comics. The cover is red with the Eileen the Crow over the city. The intended reader is someone who has played the game Bloodborne and is interested in more of this world. There is no foul language, no sex, and some violence in this volume. The story is told from Eileen’s perspective. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the blurb on Hoopla- The city of Yharnam: an ancient, Gothic metropolis and home to the Healing Church.
Recent days have seen the city fall foul to a nightmarish plague known as the Ashen Blood disease, the source of which remains a mystery.
In a world of gods and monsters, sanity is merely subjective, and fear and blood are sanctified.
Hunters now stalk the streets in search of beasts as the moon hangs ominously low in Yharnam's sky.
But as uncertainty fills the air, and the thirst for blood becomes insatiable, the hunters become the hunted…
Review- Once again we are before the beast plague over takes Yharnam happens with Eileen seeing that she needs to be hunting again. She is older and has hoped to put aside the hunt but something has changed in Yharnam and now she must hunt again. The art is good, the story line is interesting, I liked seeing more of Eileen as she trying is discover what is going on in her home, and the way the story is told is interesting. Eileen is losing time, from all the years of hunting and using the blood to help her hunt and it gives the story the proper surrealism that fits the bizarre setting of Bloodborne. I look forward to going with Eileen on her journey to find some answers.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library’s Hoopla account.
