Assassins Creed has a devout following, and this is for good reason. Shadowy organizations battling for the fate of the world is makes for one compelling story. Fans of the series will probably enjoy the exploring the universe further. However, readers with only a cursory understanding of the story may want to steer clear until they have either played the game or read previous series. Read Full Review

This is a very good beginning for Paknadel, Watters and crew, it's right on the money, and worth yours. Read Full Review

Although I liked the overall action film vibe, and the integration of characters from different books, I didn't like the complete lack of any Animus ancestor hopping. There are plenty of action comics out there and we need Assassin's Creed to keep its individuality, not join that generic genre, or at least combine the two better. Secondly, I was not sold on the art by Jose Holder. It was often too busy, too many panels crammed on each page, making the reading experience harder work, and not helping the story to flow. Granted, there was a lot to cram in, so I'll be interested to see if the art settles down as the storytelling does. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, while the script mostly avoids becoming too cluttered, the same can't be said for the art. Jose Holder makes many odd framing choices that make it difficult to follow the flow of battle and leave key characters relegated to the background or obscured by shadow at awkward times.

For fans of the comics and games, this will be an enjoyable read, leaving you awaiting the next entry to find out in what kind of situation could Assassins and Templars have actually joined teams? And for me, this series already has me doubting myself as I'm intrigued and drawn to the character of the Black Cross. Can I actually root for a Templar? Read Full Review

This series is definitely written for those who have been reading the other Assassin's Creed comic titles while also playing the games. It merges characters from both Assassin and Templar comics into one interwoven story-arc. Theoretically, this is also the conclusion of the Phoenix Project storyline that permeated the game Assassin's Creed: Unity, meaning that it is best understood in the context of the current timeline of that game in particular.  Read Full Review

Overall I am not disappointed with the issue, but I found a lot of the character introduction fast paced and throwing too much information at the reader in such a short space of time. I feel like possibly these opening issues could possibly being 1.5 times the size of a standard issue to make sure they take the time to get all the character building to a reasonable pacing.Hopefully the next issue builds a good solid foundation for the rest of the series to move forward on.
