I'm a big Assassin's Creed fan, like many others are, and I have to say the scenery was beautiful as in the artwork and colors, they almost seem to shine at times. The characters are nicely done and the story...is a little rushed, but it fit well enough. The best part was the departure from Ezio Auditore da lalalala (He's very proud of his name) the guy who has gotten three Ac games so far. And no more Desmond.Instead they took a Leap of Faith-it's an inside joke-and it worked. Especially with h...

When it comes to tie-ins of any sort, I think most people's reactions is not to expect too much, because a lot of times it's just... not very original. Not so this one. It's written by people who're obviously fans of the games, and rather than being just another generic tie-in, this is a story that can stand on its own - but still fits in with the story of the games. Assassin's Creed is the kind of game that has a lot of potential for all sorts of prequels, sequels, tie-ins and whatnot - whether...

Backstory for fans, with great art.

An interesting but not really mind-blowing story...Blog ∙ YouTube ∙ Instagram ∙ Facebook ∙ Twitter

That is not my typical read. I found it at my brother (who is a huge fan of Assassin's Creed games.I can say that the drawing was very good, and the characters were described quite good for a comics, but the plotline... Well, maybe the problem was that I know Russian history very good, so the whole story was just ridiculous for me. What do you get, if you take Tesla, Lenin, two Russian Emperors, the Tampliers and a mystical sceptre? Maybe if you don't know history at all you'll get a great comic...

I love how the story flashbacks (or rather, occurs concurrently at the same time that Daniel, the junkie, is having these flashes of remembrance), to the Russia before the Soviets came to power.I love the historical allegation, of running two interconnected stories - the modern person who is having flashbacks of his ancestor's life experiences when he was appinted by the Master to assassinate teh Tzar and the Imperial Family - while he is also looking for an ethereal staff.Can';t wait to finish

Tutto sommato un bel volume a parte il fatto che gli assassini moderni (nel fumetto) sono molto meno svegli dei loro antenati (in primis il Mentore, ma (view spoiler)[come si fa a regalare la propria lama celata ad un quasi sconosciuto e a voltagli le spalle? (hide spoiler)]) e dei frutti dell'Eden che sono un po' dappertutto (probabilmente (view spoiler)[Adamo ed Eva, quella volta sono scappati dal laboratorio con una carriolata di tecnologia aliena (hide spoiler)].Tornando al volume, bei diseg...

Read via the Assassin's Creed: The Fall & The Chain collection.Hot damn, now that was an Assassin's Creed comic! After the disappointment of the Ankh of Isis trilogy I'll admit I was a little hesitant to read this collection, but after being thoroughly confused as to who Daniel Cross was in ACIII I figured trying this out wouldn't hurt.Both writing and art convey an engrossing story featuring Daniel as he experiences maddening visions of a past life in late Imperial Russia. The dual narratives o...

I loved this.This is the story of Daniel Cross and his Russian ancestor Nikolai Orelov. Daniel sees visions of "strange Europeans", breaks into random violence, has blackouts, and tries to drown his life away in alcohol and drugs. But the secrets of his life might finally be catching up to him...The art and coloring were simply gorgeous. The story was well-crafted and I loved the characters. Daniel is... actually probably more fun than Desmond, and Nikolai is a force to be reckoned with. If you

Very interesting ending. Although it doesn't feature any of the characters from the games, this comic book really shows the spirit of that of the games.

Vuelvo a reseñar una nueva historia sobre el universo AC, en este caso la colección recogida bajo el nombre 'The Fall' y creada por Kerschl, Stewart y Thomas bajo la tutela de Ubisoft. Por lo tanto, cabe destacar que estos cómics (a diferencia de los que conforman la Trilogía de Ankh) sí son considerados canónicos dentro del mundo creado en torno a los Asesinos.En este caso se deja de lado la historia principal sobre Desmond Miles y se centra en otro asesino que tendrá su importancia en la propi...

I am not a gamer so for me the game is an unknown I have seen the movie that was hit and miss and got this comic and as I was kind of impressed by the visuals belonging to this brand Assassins Creed.This comics story is somewhat incoherent and now that I finished reading it I am still not sure what the story was about. It felt like the story was jumping between a story today were a young man who is seemingly mad becomes part of the assassin guild only to betray them after killing their leader. A...

3.5 StarsThis book covers 3 missing aspects of the overall general series of Assassin's Creed: 1) Further adventures of Nikolai Orelov, the assassin shown in the game AC Chronicles: Russia.2) The murder of the modern day Assassin Mentor.3) The rise of Daniel Cross and his betrayal and defection to the Templars.Drug addict and drunk Daniel is experiencing "the bleeding effect" with the memories of his great great great grandfather Nikolai, an Assassin in Russia. He is picked up by a modern Assass...

This is the definitive piece of secondary Assassin's Creed content yet to be created. A unique and original story within the Assassin's mythos, this comic serves as a prequel to the present day story of the franchise, while also elaborating more on the Revolutionary Russia setting first alluded to in the second game and subsequently expanded on more. As far as my experience goes, this is probably as good as video game comic books get. However, this story may not be as interesting and might be co...

Uma bela HQ dividida em quatro partes (lançada no Brasil como um encadernado com todas quatro) que conta a história de um jovem rapaz que possui alucinações com um assassino russo que é encontrado e inserido na Ordem dos Assassinos. Esse jovem trilha uma jornada pelo mundo todo, em várias sedes da ordem, em busca do Mentor.A ambientação russa é bem bacana (e faz a roupa branca ter mais sentido), e a história paralela mescla de forma bacana com o que é mostrado nos jogos. A arte é bem detalhada e...

22. June 2016Reread it, loved it. Gonna read Assassin's Creed: The Chain next...13. April 2016This is the first graphic novel I've read, and I'm so glad I chose one with a story I'm already interested in. Getting backstory and more AC content is awesome! I only started playing the games 1½ years ago so I'm still new to the world (playing AC3 at the moment) and I've fallen in love... (I've read some manga before and I think I prefer the style of them more.)Update 14. April 2016Well...It did throw...

This is how comic books are supposed to be done.Ties into the established story. It doesn't make pointless cameos that serve no purpose other then to make people go "OMG IT'S SUCH AND SUCH SO COOL."The art is really beautifully done. There is a lot happening in a single page without overwhelming the reader. It has a very fluid looking design.The only real downfall is that to those who aren't interested in the series, it doesn't add anything super new or interesting that will grab your attention....
