This title might be one of this year's best pieces of visual art as well. Beautifully twisted, the art is nightmarish in that the imagery will no doubt produce horrible nightmares...I love it! Read Full Review

Blood Realm #1 is proof that you shouldn't read fantasy comics while drunk. I read the issue a couple days ago and passed out confused dreaming of hellscapes. I read it again the following day and loved it. 

In a last ditch effort to save the kingdom of men from total annihilation the queen of Voragoth dispatches the Sisters of Silence to obtain a relic powerful enough to stop the Evil General, Gorn.

Blood Realm is a very dense read packed into a single issue floppy. At times I was lost but always intrigued by the story and imagery. If you are a fan of "Dragon Age" "Willow" or "The Lord of the Ring's" you'll be right at home with this series.  

The art style is very stylistic so that may be a negative in some circles. I enjoyed it because it reminded me of the art direction from Dragon Age 2 and DA: Inquisition. The colors are a stark mix of black's, whites and reds that make the pencils stand out even more. Blood Realm is a beautifully dark fantasy setting. 

There is an addendum to the issue explaining the key characters and events for the series. I appreciate the world building being done in this issue. The storytelling is very efficient which brings me to my key concern for the series. How do you wrap up a world and story this complex in a 3 issue mini-series? 

I'm willing to give it a shot because I was thoroughly entertained but my god man!!!
