The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of LAKE OF FIRE #1 from Image Comics. Nathan Fairbairn writes, colors and letters, and
Matt Smith draws.
It’s the year 1220, and Theo is a newly minted knight of the
cross, traveling to his first military action. The noble in charge really just
wants him out of the way, so he sends Theo and a group of other potential
troublemakers off to a town leagues away. But unbeknownst to the noble, there
really is something going on in that distant town – something that will take
more than a little faith to overcome.
How would the Dark Ages handle an alien invasion? If it’s
any consolation to Theo, no one else has any idea what to do in this situation
either, not even the drunkard veteran knight. You’d think that this story would
have to go in a horror-like direction, but maybe not, given how the characters
work together. And the critters themselves are pretty creepy, with some
interesting coloring choices and just horrible appearances.
One thing we can be sure of – there will be a great deal of
questioning of faith before this story is over. How well these men of God can
handle the reality before them will make for a cool story. So go check this one
out.
