A fast paced, well written
first issue that had me hooked by the time I was on page 3. The Legend
of Red begins with a very nice first issue that won’t leave you
scratching your head wondering what is going on. The story follows a
girl named Red who has just lost her family to werewolves and has now
been told she is the protector of a blade named Benevolence.
Artwork: 4 out of 5
Very nice artwork runs
through the issue. I felt that the details on the werewolves stood out
more than than people, but over all very nice work. The panels were
very easy to follow with no confusion on what was going on. Plus the
death scenes were great.
Story: 3.8 out of 5
The problems you run
into with first issues of a series is not enough info on what is going
on. The Legend of Red though does a great job of building up the
intensity of the story as it moves on. The story follows a nice line
and I never had to stop and wonder what the characters were talking
about.
Dying Breath: 4 out of 5
A great first issue overall. Nice art nice story. The introduction to
the the main characters were well written and when you reach the height
of the story you realize that the issue is over and you need more. I
know I need more. Job well done to the guys at Paper Street Comics. Now
back to work!
