Review: A King’s Vengeance #1

A King's Vengeance #1

In A King’s Vengeance #1, a King must lead his dwindling forces against an evil force in Mozdial. The issue is that setup… and not a whole lot else making for a first issue that both sucks you in and is frustrating.

Written by Peter Ricq and Davila LeBlanc, A King’s Vengeance #1 has everything to suck you in. There’s solid twists and turns. There’s shocking moments. There’s also some heart and very human moments as well. It’s a debut that hooks you in easily and then it just leaves you hanging.

There’s something both intriguing and frustrating about A King’s Vengeance #1. It’s all the setup and then kind of leaves you in a weird spot. It’s a hell of a scene before the credits begin on the big budget film. The comic feels a lot like that setting up the story and leaving you in a shocking moment before the movie really begins. It also feels really short too where both a lot and not a lot happens at the same time. It’s rather odd like that in that though there’s all of the setup for the series’ concept and lots of shocks and twists, the first issue also feels like it’s not filling enough.

Peter Ricq also provides the art delivering a style that’s interesting for this sort of story. There’s some aspects of the issue that feels like a mix between Andrew MacLean’s Head Lopper and Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. That’s not a bad thing at all in that both series has great style about them. What’s cool about A King’s Vengeance #1 is that it’s a slight twist from what you’d expect. The tease of the series makes it feel like you’re about to dive into more traditional fantasy of knights on horseback with some magical elements. But, the comic twists that a little with dinosaurs and giant junk piles. There’s also gore delivered in a way that’s almost comical.

A King’s Vengeance #1 is an interesting debut and first issue. I generally liked it but also felt like it needed about a half issue more to really hook the readers. This could be one to wait until it’s collected to read but it’s absolutely a series to keep an eye on.

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

A King’s Vengeance #1 (Scout Comics) – A warrior is brought back to life to avenge himself on the demons responsible for his death. That cover just looks so damn cool.

Avengers Forever #1 (Marvel) – Marvel is going all in with its multiverse as Avengers from across it are gathered to take on a massive threat.

Batman: One Dark Knight #1 (DC Comics) – Batman must escort a prisoner from Arkham to Blackgate as gangs descend on him during a blackout. The concept has been done before but this is a pretty solid and entertaining execution.

Black Panther #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was fantastic delivering espionage and intrigue, some politics, and action all grounding the series and character a bit.

Chicken Devil #3 (AfterShock) – The series feels like a throwback to 80s action flicks and we’re enjoying the over-the-top violence and humor.

Deserter: Junji Ito Story Collection (VIZ Media) – Junji Ito. Nuff said.

Fist of the North Star Vol. 3 (VIZ Media) – Collecting the classic series in beautiful hardback. If you’ve never read it, here’s your chance!

The Harbinger #3 (Valiant) – Peter Stanchek is back in the Valiant Universe and this series is paving way for the future of psiots.

Hawkeye: Kate Bishop #2 (Marvel) – With Kate in the spotlight as part of the MCU, the series shines a light on her in the comics as she heads back east to deal with a case… and family.

Impossible Jones #2 (Scout Comics) – The first issue was so much fun delivering a new entertaining superhero world that was a mix of homage, sendup, and its own thing. We’re excited to finally be able to read the second issue.

King Conan #1 (Marvel) – Conan grows weary in his old age and heads off on one last adventure.

Menopause: A Comic Treatment (Graphic Mundi) – Short stories about menopause in this graphic medicine anthology.

Nightwing #87 (DC Comics) – The series goes experimental with art that’s just one giant continuous image.

No Holds Bard #1 (Behemoth Comics) – When Queen Elizabeth I is kidnapped, only the dramatic duo of William Shakespeare and William Page in their superhero alter-egos, THE BARD and PAGE can save her! All written in iambic pentameter!?

Search for Hu #4 (AfterShock) – The series has been just solid mob action as two warring families/factions go after each other and a son attempts to figure out who attempted to kill his parents.

Serial #9 (Abstract Studio) – This series has been an amazing build with every issue and the last one left us shocked. Horror, serial killers, so much tension!
