I want to read more of these characters, but this issue won't encourage new fans to continue. It's a decent read, but the story seems padded and all aspect of the visuals are mixed. I'm a Zenescope fan, so I'll continue on, but my fingers are crossed for improvements. Read Full Review
This first issue of Dance of the Dead takes some time to find its footing. It re-introduces Mystere and tosses Jasmine into the fray.

She feels forced into this situation and her story isn't enough to care about just yet. Hopefully the two women can help each other figure out where they should go next and how to escape the Shadowlands. In the meantime, they've got hordes of goblins, skeletons, and other assorted monsters to fight. Read Full Review
