This wasn't bad but I'm unfamiliar with the video game, and therefore found myself playing catch up for most of it. Thankfully I was able to grasp enough to still enjoy it, and the steampunk type setting i pretty cool. It's a prequel to a video game so there's not much of an ending and you have to play the game to see what happens next, which I guess is sort of the point. Overall not a bad read, but I'm sure it's much better for fans of the game itself.
Decent art, a chaotic plotline and not so great attempt at plugging the gap between Dishonored 1 and 2 games. Would the novels be more interesting than this? My Rating - 2/5
In my dreams this comic had Martha Cottings as the sole point-of-view protagonist, and we got to follow her investigation seeing the City Watch from the inside, Corvo from the outside, and a very different take on the Dishonored universe from what we've gotten so far. I'm not reviewing my dream comic, though, I'm reviewing this one. And, it's okay. There's some stuff I enjoyed - Cotting's character, especially - but the overall thing is, well, okay. The plot is okay. The art is okay. The charact...
NEEDS MORE EMILY. OR....ANY EMILY REALLY
This graphic novel didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was good, but I wish it would've either focused only on already established characters or developed the new characters that it introduced further. The only character I felt connected to at all was Corvo, and honestly, I prefer him in the game. That aside, I did enjoy the story, and I would read future issues of this comic if they are made.
Some very cool story ideas and fantastic artwork throughout
Fairly decent graphic novel, but does not hold a candle to Lady Mechanika.
I think this is a worthy read for the fans of the game, for someone else it might be too confusing and with too little background. However, the story is solid, interesting and keeps up the tension. The detailings at the end of the book are a great insight into the working process and I think the comics managed to capture the mood of Dishonored well.
3.5 stars. Good but something only Dishonored fans would like. Good idea to play the games first.
As someone who is a fan of the games, I'm glad they had a small tie in from Dishonoured to Dishonoured 2. I enjoyed the art. I just wish there was more..more Emily..more story from that between time period. I do like the big tie in to the newest game. All of the hints. Please play the games though because this will spoil you and also you will probably have no idea what's going on without that game knowledge.
One of the best comics series I've read in a long time! This volume was made very well! Full of cool action, intrigue, lore and a great plot. Amazing! Would love to read more!
"Oh yes. A very tricksy little Missy, indeed.""Call me that again and it'll be your blood all over his clothes instead, now..." — Sly Harold & Martha CottingsI think you could read this without having played the games, well game it's based on the first one. But it makes more sense if you have some idea of what is going on, why the art is the way it is, who The Outsider is and the basics of the world. The art is clever it matches the style of the game well with the green colour schemes for steal
I've only played the first few minutes of Dishonored 2, after completing the first game, so I think that offered a little extra grounding in the world (although the Dishonored 2 aspect wasn't really necessary). Corvo is exploring a new threat that comes in the form of the son of his missing sister. But is it really him? There's a whole subplot about Corvo's protege investigating a magical painting, as well. Honestly, the art was really distracting. It kind of captured the feeling of Dunwall, but...
The art was pretty interesting, not really my style, but I dug the way it was colored. Admittedly I don't know a lot about dishonored the game or the lore, so why did I pick this up? Not really sure, was mostly a curiosity impulse grab. The story focuses on some gangs smuggling weapons into the city, both Corvo and Martha [a very capable guard] are looking into the why and what these gangs plan to do with so much firepower. Corvo is chasing a lead that he feels might take him to his lost sister
Very fanservicy. There isn't much plot, and the villain is some random witch we never met. What bothered me most is how many people Corvo kills despite being a "pacifist" character. We get to see each of his powers used exactly once, and I'll give credit where credit is due, that looks cool.I also had an issue with the art style. It's too messy for my liking. I've had trouble recognizing recurrent characters from the background NPC's.
This one's honestly a smart side story, however it does not stand too tall without the plot of the games. I give it a +1 because I like Dunwall.
Great story with one hell of an ending. Fans of the video game series should enjoy this comic very much.
I now have more questions than I did before.
I'm actually really enamored of this story. The texture of the world is fantastic, and I look forward to whatever else is in store.
