Set in the Honorverse from the bestselling military science fiction novels by DAVID WEBER, this is the first-ever completely original comics story arc! Honor Harrington's uncle, last seen investigating a Vegas-like space station for its use of Mesan genetic slaves, is now missing and she takes a leave of absence from the military to find him deep in Solarian territory.
There isn't a whole lot of action in here, despite the rather explosive start in the first few pages, but it is all in the simmering stage yet, and that's fine with me. First, get the readers familiar with the character(s) and then throw them off the deep end. That works for me, and I can certainly see myself becoming a regular reader here, and also going back to read the first volume. Read Full Review
Tales of Honor: Bred to Kill #1 is an amazing new entry in the Honorverse mythos, as though there'll be some diehard fans on the fence about this original tale, it's both fun and entertaining, keeping the characteristics of Honor firmly intact. It also has some mysterious aspects to its narrative, with some developments that will surely leave old and new readers returning for a second issue. Read Full Review
Hawkins and Wickline write some pretty solid dialogue that reads well and they've got the futuristic bafoon down with Honor's male companions. Honor though is written a bit too "dramatic" which I guess makes sense since she would need a grandiose life in order to serve as chief protagonist in a sci-fi comic. Read Full Review
Overall, I thought the comic was very nicely done: exceptional artwork partnered with what became an interesting story (once I got past the exposition).So whether you're an enthusiast for space adventures or a fan with a passing interest in sci-fi, Tales of Honor: Bred to Kill is definitely worth the read, and holds enough appeal that I want to read more and find out what happens to Captain Harrington next.

Not only is this book interesting, but it is stylistically sound, with a vibrant and solid basis for the art. Futuristic stories always intrigue me, because I think, however “out there” any given story is, it could happen. Who knows what the future holds? Granted I won’t be around 115 years from now, it’s pretty cool to see an idea of what my great great grandkids might be doing! I definitely recommend this book for any and every sci fi buff out there. It’s worth the read, I promise. Read Full Review
