In a realm where hollowed champions rise and fall with the ages, where brave knights quest for absolution and bonfires blaze against the everdark, myth and legend will forever prevail...
From the desolate worlds of Namco-Bandai's critically-lauded videgame series comes this unsettling collection of all-new Dark Souls tales, written and drawn by some of the comic industry's finest. Building upon the extensive lore of the franchise, this action-packed anthology is essential for all fans of the game.
With three gorgeous standalone stories and a strong ongoing thread connecting them, Dark Souls: Legends of the Flame #1 is a strong example of having your cake and eating it, too. Read Full Review

Dark Souls: Legend of the Flame won't convert non-fans of the games or fantasy adventure, but will probably please the people it is supposed to. Read Full Review
This feels significantly more like an appropriate adaptation of the series, not just in the artwork, but in the writing as well, both capitalising on the game's themes, and morphing the narrative architecture over to fit into a piece of sequential art. Read Full Review
A fine dark fantasy anthology with two enjoyable stories, but not one that captures the magic of Dark Souls. Read Full Review
