The Bronze Award Goes To:
Spirit Leaves #3 (August 2016)
By Rossi Gifford
Both are on the cusp of adulthood, and anxious to demonstrate their value to their tribes. This mutual yearning turns into a scaffold to kinship between them when they meet out in the forested areas.
It doesn't unequivocally express that these two ought to be foes, however you get the feeling that their companionship is unnatural.
I truly appreciate the scene craftsmanship in this comic. It is truly rich and shrewdly used to express the progression of time on a trip. Issue two had some kind of printing incident since it appeared to zoom in and pixilate the pictures, yet fortunately, issue #3 has us back on track.
Issue three conveyed us to a clamoring backwoods town, amidst a celebration, and presented another enemy.
I cannot wait to see which part of the forest the story takes us next.
The Silver Award Goes To:
The Haunted Masion #5 (July 2016)
By Williamson, Coelho, & Gist
A bashful kid named Danny discovers his boldness in the wake of being brought into the spooky manor set for spare an apparition who is essential to him.
Be that as it may, are things in the chateau genuinely as they appear? On the other hand is Danny being deceived by the more vile inhabitants?
This arrangement got a tiny bit stale for me in the center. I felt that a portion of the enormous uncovers were not too shocking, but rather Danny stayed amiable, and whatever is left of the characters were alluring.
This closing issue truly spared the arrangement for me. We saw a greater amount of the Mansion, and in genuine Disney design, got hit with a few feels. It offered a to a great degree fulfilling finishing which perfectly wrapped up the whole arrangement and made it a critical read for me.
The Gold Award Goes To:
Lake of Fire #1 (August 2016)
By Nathan Fairbairn & Matt Smith
I lifted this comic up in light of the fact that it helped me to remember the motion picture Outlander (2008) where we had Vikings versus Aliens.
This is the main issue in what is wanted to be a 5 section miniseries taking after a band of rejected Crusaders, Religious Zealots, and a Cathar Prefect (Their sinful adversary).
I was super amazed by the amount I delighted in this comic by the end.
It had a moderate begin, so good thing its a XL issue. The talk it opens up with is between a youthful well-to-do knight and the administrator of the camp he has quite recently landed in. Plainly the knight has not seen a significant part of this present reality, and I rapidly got to be distinctly stressed that this entire arrangement would fall exclusively on his unlikable shoulders.
In any case, once the bored old Crusader was acquired to lead the gathering with the critical world perspective of a man that has seen it all, I bounced appropriate on board. He's going to face something absolutely new: Intergalactic parasites that have crash arrived in the wide open.
The characters are ones I've seen some time recently. The setting, and even plot, are not amazingly unique to me (But rather I'm certain there are still a lot of individuals whom it will be new to), however I really think the nature of everything is a solid point for the arrangement. I like "this kind of thing" and I am eager to see a greater amount of it.
Historical tidbit:
The story takes place during a particularly bloody and futile Crusade which occurred in France for nearly 20 years. Essentially, during this time, the Crusaders killed everyone.
It is from this bloody time period that we get a very famous historical phrase...
"Kill them all, and let god sort them out."
- There, according to the Cistercian writer Caesarius of Heisterbach, Arnaud Amalric responded when asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics
