A new series set in the world of LOST FANTASY!

Apr 15, 2026This is a fantastic first issue! Everything about this is done in a fashion that will leave you wanting more, as well as making you go back to read it over and over again.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Apr 15, 2026It’s going to take a while before.Aaron will have the opportunity to feel like anything other than a relatively generic young male protagonist. he’s off on the right foot, though. There’s more than enough that’s appealing about him. And there’s no reason why he can’t make a name for himself in a wave that feels interesting and unique. The script travels a little bit too closely to science fiction and fantasy action tropes to suggest that there’s going to be a whole lot about the protagonist. That’s going to seem particularly new right away. There’s a lot of background that has to be delivered. There’s a lot of action that has to be delivered. Once they get all of that out-of-the-way, he might actually come across us being someone deeply interesting. It’s just going to take time. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Jamison Nilsson
Apr 16, 2026At 56 pages, Fireborn #1 is a sizable comic and a long read. Unfortunately, that is a very unbalanced read, as the writing is rather awful with a self-important voice that weakens the overall experience despite the issue’s incredible artwork. Read Full Review

Apr 15, 2026Fireborn #1 is an exciting comic that is definitely a fun read, but that doesn’t mean that it’s actually a great first issue. Image has some amazing fantasy books, and this one definitely has all the right pieces, but this issue isn’t the best showcase of them. I don’t even remember the name of the main character. That’s sort of a problem. The book has cool action scenes and the art is great throughout, but this one is average at best. Read Full Review

If you read something new on a whim , well your either disappointed or it's kinda meh to okay. Firstly the good. Manga style art that literally pops of the pages. It's cool , fast paced and leaves you kinda breathless. Now the bad. If I knew what was going on at the start I lost the room by the end. No offence to Image Comics and the creators of this comic but I absolutely loved it......... outstanding. Now let's go start that issue again and see why lol ........JM

Very surprising comic, with a strong manga influence.
A bit confusing in the beginning with art that is really hard to digest. This comics need time to get used too and I don't mean a few pages but more a few issues (3).
