Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #6 is an amazingly well rounded high fantasy experience. As a strong appreciator of high fantasy storytelling, taking this spin on DC Comics is absolutely refreshing and something I am endlessly hungry for more. Read Full Review
I was not expecting Viking Deathstroke to come out much better than many of the main characters in Dark Knights of Steel, but surprises are always good, and this definitely has me excited for the return of the main series next year. Read Full Review
Sadly, the ending of this series feels improvisational. The entire first half of the series follows Jar Vandar and his bounty hunters trying to hunt Alec down. However, the goalpost shifts to Alec needing to bring the world back by defeating Viktor, but the details keep changing. I never tire of TIRSO's stylized artwork, but a lot of the conflict develops fairly inorganically. Still, a lot of the world remains impressive, even if this only feels like part one of a drawn out larger story. Perhaps, Jay Kristoff hopes to continue the adventures of Alec, Deathstroke, and his band of allies in another follow-up. Overall, the redemption story doesn't quite land if you keep changing the terms of the redemption, but it certainly looks good. Read Full Review
