The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of DARK
SOULS #1 from Titan Comics. The story is by George Mann, with art by Alan Quah,
colors by Komikaki Studios featuring Norah Khor TCS, and letters by Rob Steen.
The comic is based off the game by Bandi Namco Entertainment Inc. and
Fromsoftware, Inc.
Fira and her companion Aldrich are on a quest to find the
tooth of the dead dragon Andolus. Returning the tooth will hopefully restore
the flame of life and the restore the land of Ishra to its former glory. But to
do that, she must get it from the Dragon Augerer, who wields it like a
blade. She must also battle much to get
to him, including her memories and doubts. Even if she is successful, that is
only the beginning of her quest…
Never played the game, but I’m familiar with it. Fans of
the game will love the book, but those who aren’t shouldn’t be afraid to take a
look at it. There’s enough explained so you are not lost and there is a good bit of action. As
awesome as the art is, the colors are unbelievable. Easily one of the best
looking comics I’ve seen this year. Worth checking out.
DARK SOULS #1 is in stores now, or available for ordering
at www.titan-comics.com.
