Customer Reviews

A Good Start

Warlands is a great comic series, undoubtedly, the first few comics are a little clumsy, but the series really blows up into an epic fantasy adventure. The idea of an apocalyptic war against legions of vampires isn't a new one, but how its presented in the first few volumes of Warlands is addicting, you really cannot get enough of the action!

Fantastic - But what about the second part?

All I can say about this book is that it is fantastic - The artwork is great, the storyline builds up well with some good action, but here's the problem: It ends on an almighty cliffhanger and the sequel is no longer available. I would give this book 5 stars except I don't know how the story ends... :-(

Something new

Volume 1 introduces readers to the land of Warlands by introducing a great story and unbelievable artwork. The story is different type, but not hard to follow since it uses a lot of elements from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The cast of characters is brought together well, and the Darklyte story is a setting for other Warlands events that happen down the road. Most action is in Volume 2, but this is still worth the money, especially if readers are tired of the typical superhero books. Highly reccomend this one

I agree

I agree with the other reviewer on just about everything, and I just want to add this. The darkness of the work is because the villians are vampires and can't do out in sunlight; but, except for that, they don't seem very horrific. I mean their evil and turn everybody into vampires or use them for food etc.; but none of it is shown and I didn't really get a feeling of them being any different from any other baddie out to take over the world. I'm hoping this is all because of story exposition and plot development, and it'll be made clearer in upcoming editions. That said..It was interesting, holds promise, and I give it 4*.

Warlands: Not another medeval tale!

Starts out slow, but there is something intriguing about this new take on the vampire/elves/knights story. Artwork is Beautiful. The story is engaging yet a little predictable, however there are some surprising plot twists. One problem is that the Narrative Text (font, color, and size) is hard to read. If you have a little extra pocket money, pick this one up.
