Enjoyed the read. Good art and interesting story. I would read more in this universe.

Frank Cho's latest - Skybourne - is a hell of a lot of fun. Featuring fantastic artwork and a great story, this is one of those graphic novels that seem destined for the big screen. Its got a great central concept - three immortal children fathered by Lazarus, the guy that Jesus brought back from the dead in the bible, fight magical monsters to keep the world safe - and artwork and writing combine to tell a thrilling story. The ending leaves plenty of room for a sequel and I'm really hoping we g...

AMAZING! This was amazing in every aspect of a graphic novel. I loved the characters and the graphic work. I read the first 4 issues in the series last day of the last year and was waiting for this issue since then. This comic series has Greek Mythology elements. And I highly recommend this to mythology-lovers.

This random purchase was a real blast of a quick read for me, found it in a comic shop today and gorgeous artworks made me buy it.Frank Cho's Skybourne creator-owned mini-series from BOOM! Studios is a real blockbuster of a comic book, a funny and sexy action/ultraviolence-packed genres mash up of creature feature, arturian mythos, Highlander (1986) and Cabin in the Woods (2012).My only criticism is that Cho is a far better artist than storyteller and a few profanity and a pointless author signa...

Frank Cho + mythological creatures = A rip, roaring good time. Sure the plot is a bit simple, but who cares? You've got one of the best comic book artists on the planet, plus an immortal brother and sister fighting supernatural creatures. Do you really need anything else?

There were a couple decent chuckles in the final battle, especially from a particularly anticlimactic rocket launcher. Other than that, it's just your generic mythological monster-mash with mediocre artwork and not much of a plot: it feels like a tiny part of a much greater story, never truly realized or properly fleshed out, with cardboard-cutout characters in unremarkable and overdone situations. The main characters don't seem to be anyone important at all - though you could have cast them as

The Frank Cho artwork is great, (of course.)

Pero mira tu , nunca pense que me fuera a gustar tanto.A mi Frank Cho me aprece un gran artista, al cual su detalle y trabajo no lo deja hacer muchas cosas seguidas y por eso su producción es un poco mas baja de lo que se merece, pero habia algo en esta historia de seres casi inmortales que pelean contra bestias mitologicas, con creaturas magicas por aqui y por alla, y BANG!!!, 160 paginas bien contadas, que no descuben nada nuevo pero entretienen, y mucho, con bestialidades y bizarreadas que pa...

Story: ok. Art: spectacular.A couple super-beautiful immortals running around messily killing stuff, ultimately going up against Merlin who wants to open Pandora’s Gate. The story is pretty thin and it never feels like there are any stakes. It mostly acts as an excuse for super-cool drawings of battles between various mythological beasties. The whole setup is lifted right out of Cabin in the Woods, which is fine, but it’s so obviously derivative. Good thing Cho is a real good drawer.

If enjoyed correctly, you'll spend more time basking in the artwork than actually reading the story. It doesn't do much in the way of world building, mostly borrowing elements from Arthurian legend plus a little from The Cabin in the Woods. The paper thin plot is just enough to string you along from one beautiful panel to the next, and that's quite alright for me.Skybourne doesn't ask the reader to do much beyond setting aside a few minutes of your day and enjoying the beautifully rendered escap...

Frank Cho is a master at work in his standalone series, Skybourne. The problem that is oft-cited is that despite his clean, modern style, and exquisite colors, there is little substance, no real plot. There are too many plotholes and deus ex machinas, but it is a rather average affair and nothing too bad. Frank Cho also has a way of drawing the same woman with the same exact body type, which gets boring after awhile.

Sarebbe 3/5, ma il 4/5 se lo becca per i disegni fenomenali di Frank Cho. Per il resto, la storia è veloce e piena di azione ed adrenalina, spesso ben bilanciata tra umorismo e serietà. Però Frank Cho si dimostra ancora un narratore acerbo, avente un buon soggetto di fondo, ma ancora incapace di sviscerarlo in ogni minimo dettaglio, dosando bene ogni sua idea. L'uso del protagonista, poi, mi è sembrato abbastanza ad cazzum, oltre che personaggio superfluo, rispetto all'attenzione che dà al resto...

Zábavná jednohubka! Scénář není žádné veledílo. Příběh je velmi jednoduchý a přímočarý. Zároveň ale rychle uteče a pobaví. Frank je především kreslíř a výtvarná stránka tohoto komiksu je prvotřídní. Snad jen je tam málo ženských "předností" na Frankovy poměry…

Frank Cho's writing is so bad it fucks with his other artistic talents.

I don't want to promote the idea that artists can't (or shouldn't) write the stories they're illustrating, but Skybourne is definitely an example of an artist whose work I enjoy telling a story better told by someone else. It's an interesting, if not particularly original idea, but the execution is just weak and the dialogue is sometimes utterly atrocious.On the title page we get a few lines of introduction:Lazarus, after his miraculous resurrection, fathered three children:Abraham Skybourne, Th...

44) Skybourne by Frank ChoThe children of Lazarus (from the Bible) are born with super-strength, invulnerability and incredibly long life spans. Two of them (we don't meet the third one yet) work for a clandestine organization that acquire magical artifacts and creatures and lock them away. That's almost the entire story right there. Its a bit thin for a book that collects five issues but the artwork is beautiful which is to be expected from Frank Cho. I think I read the entire thing in about 45...

First off, Frank Cho's art is stunning. Him getting a chance to draw fantasy creatures is a treat. The story itself does have its share of hiccups, being extremely too fast-paced being the most grievous. I have no idea what the need to tell a years worth of story in five issues but it was still a fun and super entertaining read. If Cho ever gets another shot with these characters, sign me up.

Esta obra es entretenida pero nada más. Admito que el mundo que pinta es interesante, y el diseño de personajes y arte de Frank Cho, es maravilloso, Y si esta obra tuviera más volúmenes podría evolucionar a algo extremadamente interesante lamentablemente eso es todo lo que hay.El problema de esta obra es que introducen muchas cosas maravillosas: Los hijos del Lázaro biblíco son una especie de súper hombres que se encargan de proteger a la humanidad de la magia y otras cosas igualmente extrañas.

This book showed me that industry legend Frank Cho doesn’t just draw wonderfully, he’s also able to write. The mix of Arthurian mythology with our modern world is not only interesting, it is also fun and entertaining. The character of Thomas Skybourne is badass and funny, I really we’ll see more of him in a possible sequel. The story isn’t very complex, but it was enough for me to greatly enjoy the comic in itself. Merlin wasn’t a great vilain thought, he was just ok, wasn’t charismatic enough.
