Fans of
MediEvil are in for a real treat. A prequel comic has been released from Titan Comics called
MediEvil HC which comes out today. Titan was nice enough to send us over an advance review copy to share our thoughts with you guys!
This comic is only a one-shot, so don't be expecting more entries. That being said, the story is self-contained and it is not only a thrilling time-traveling tale, but it also mixes humor and heart with action and adventure.
Fans of the video game are likely to be happy with this, seeing the tale of how Dan teams with his old buddies to save his fleshy self. In a race against time itself, our hero must lead his kingdom against an army of the undead - even knowing the consequences to come.
The characters in the story are fun and colorful - with the imagery in the art leaving one wanting to flip back for a second read through. For people looking to explore more of Dan Fortesque's univere or for anyone looking for a great self-contained story (I have never played the game and thoroughly enjoyed it), this is a wonderful piece to get into this holiday season.
After being swept through time and landing in his own past - Sir Daniel Fortesque finds himself teaming up with old friends - including a were-dog and cockney fairies - in order to once again save the kingdom of Gallowmere. The evil sorcerer Zarok is raising an evil undead army, and Sir Dan is the only one who can ensure his cowardly former self prevails!
MediEvil HC hits shelves today!
