For a first issue, Bloodborne does a great job of drawing the reader into the world and the combination of writing and art style work really well and conveys the various narrative beats in a quick and concise manner. Read Full Review

Yharnam has once again begun the hunt, and the Hunter must transcend it by seeking paleblood. The same people, the same church, the same monsters. Even the doll and the old man stay the same. Can the Hunter break the cycle or will he fall into it as well? Read Full Review

Perhaps surprising no one, putting a good property in the hands of a good writer will yield a good story. Bloodborne is the first video game comic tie-in I'll recommend, which feels a little odd if I'm being honest. Yet, I'm glad it's good. The property deserves it because the property is awesome. Enjoy the hunt! Read Full Review

Overall, "Bloodborne The Death Of Sleep" is a fantastic story with a set up that makes me really excited for the remainder of the story. I am very excited to see where the story goes and to see any way that it is pulled back to tie into the game. As a fan of the game I truly enjoyed this comic. I rate "Bloodborne The Death Of Sleep" issue one a high 4 out of 5 stars. Read Full Review

This debut new series proves that adaptation is possible, as long as the creators are thoughtful, and this team is exactly that. Bloodborne players will undoubtedly enjoy this comic. Admirers of the game who thought it was too hard, or who, perhaps, gave up because they couldn't beat that goddam Martyr Logarius no matter how hard they tried, this comic's for you.

Bloodborne is not only an excellent addition to the franchise it adapts but to the ouevre of the creators involved. Perhaps more licensed comics will follow its own example and do their part to break the cycle of mediocrity that normally plagues comic adaptations of games. Read Full Review

A surprisingly good issue to an adaptation that could have ended up like a beat-by-beat retelling of a game's story, but instead choses to use the medium's strengths to deliver something unique. Well-complemented by an art and colouring style that add to the experience and show promise for future issues. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed the art by Piotr Kowalski, but unfortunately his panels didn't always flow from one to another. There were a few times where the action felt as though it was missing some panels, or Kowalski missed the opportunity to lay his pages out differently to tell a clearer story. His full page splashes are wonderful though and the monsters are whet you'd expect from the game. I didn't enjoy Titan's attempt at the Dark Souls comic and dropped it after two issues, but I enjoyed this first issue of Bloodborne much more and plan to be back for at least a few more issues.

Choppy paneling aside, this is a solid comic and a must-read for those who enjoyed the game. Read Full Review

Excellent artwork, an almost there script, and simplistic colors and lettering make the start of this series a mixed bag. Read Full Review

Working with a source that is infamously known for self-piecing the lore together is forgivable on the part of the creative team. The feel and tone of the game is not captured well due to bizarre and odd coloring choices changing the whole feel of the setting. These choices in writing and color are the biggest knocks against this release. It is a very quick read, however, though should only be reserved the most diehard fans of the SoulsBorne series. Easy pass, not recommended. Read Full Review
