Comic Crusaders Podcast #518 – Edward Brown/Deathblade: The Awakening

REVIEW of Deathblade: The Awkening #1:

Deathblade: The Awakening is a comic book that represents the culmination of years of hard work, passion, and dedication. â€‹ The creators have poured their excitement and pride into this project, aiming to create something truly special. â€‹ The journey from a seven-year-old’s dream of creating a comic that transcends all boundaries to the present day is nothing short of incredible.​ The creators feel inspired as they craft a new comic universe, while respecting the origins of art and storytelling, and giving it a modern look for today’s readers. â€‹

The story is set in the Skull Valley Comics universe, welcoming readers from all genres with an open ear for feedback.​ The creators aim to reflect their dedication to both their vision and the audience, with characters and storylines designed to resonate deeply.​ The writing duties are handled by Brian Cochran, who brings a unique voice to the comic. The dialogue is engaging and the characters are well-developed, making the reader feel invested in their journeys. The writing is dynamic, capturing the intensity and emotion of the story while maintaining a sense of mystery and intrigue. The narrative flows smoothly, with each page revealing new layers of the plot and deepening the reader’s understanding of the characters and their motivations.

The art is a standout feature, with contributions from various talented artists including Alfred Hf, Leo Colapietro, and others. The illustrations are vivid and detailed, bringing the world of Skull Valley Comics to life. The character designs are unique and memorable, each one reflecting their personality and role in the story. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the scenes, creating a visually stunning experience for the reader.

Deathblade: The Awakening is a compelling comic  book that combines a gripping story, engaging writing, and stunning art. The creators have succeeded in crafting a new comic universe that respects the origins of art and storytelling while giving it a modern look for today’s readers. The dedication and passion that went into this project are evident on every page, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.​ Whether you are a long-time comic book enthusiast or new to the world of comics, Deathblade offers an exciting and immersive experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
