  Regicide #1 is a strong opening issue that blends dark fantasy, political intrigue, folklore, and horror into a story that immediately feels unique. Patrick Kindlon builds an intriguing world around Doru and Mihas, while Ludovic Lalliat’s eerie artwork gives the book a haunting visual identity. With a compelling mission, memorable atmosphere, and plenty of mystery left to uncover, this debut makes a strong case for following the series into its next issue and beyond. Read Full Review

It just fails to capture the potential of the script completely as of the first issue. Read Full Review
