Swordquest #0 is a great introduction to a new series for only twenty-five cents! That is a hard price to beat and this issue is well worth the pick up to see if you are interested in the series. While not perfect this was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting our main character to be transported into a magical world or something more "comicbooky" to happen, what I got was a start to a very heart-wrenching story about a man about to die and trying to reconnect with his past. Go dig through your couch or look through the car and pull together 25 cents and pick up Swordquest #0 you won't be disappointed. Read Full Review

I'm not quite sure what to make of Swordquest just yet. The execution is solid enough and it ties well into the nostalgia element as it talks about what it was like back in the day and how those memories can linger and be brought back to the surface. Peter's story is one that feels tragic already and it's hard to imagine it ending any other way, barring something magical coming into play, and that can be a rough one to dig into depending on your circumstances. The artwork has an almost indie approach to it that works well for it as they capture the expressiveness of the characters and what they're going through but also feeling different enough from the norm that it fits with the intent of nostalgia, almost capturing a kind of simplicity in the in-game pieces that reminds of the original comics. Considering the pricing, it's very easy to check out the first installment and we definitely recommend that. Read Full Review
