These Savage Shores

A great story told in impressive pictures. The end of the first part surprised me, but came together very well. The historical setting and the political situation were inspiring. I only wish there was a continuation of the story of Kori and Bishan. I can highly recommend this comic.

Songs For The Dead #1

Yes please! The art is great, and I love the characters! It's great to finally get away from the "Skank McGank" Necromancer Archetype. Keep them coming!

Vampire: The Masquerade, Winter's Teeth #1

https://www.teilzeithelden.de/2020/11/02/vampire-the-masquerade-abseits-der-pfade-des-rollenspiels-was-gibt-es-noch/#Der_Comic_Winters_Teeth

Erfreulicher als die Computerspiel-Umsetzung ist die neue Comic-Reihe. Winter’s Teeth wirkt den erfahrenen Vampire-Kenner*innen sofort vertraut durch seine Gothic-Punk-Optik. Der Zeichenstil von Devmalya Pramanik erinnert an die Werke von Timothy Bradstreet, die der World of Darkness ihre einzigartige Optik verliehen.

Erzählt wird die Geschichte der Cecily Bain, die als untote Gesetzeshüterin tätig ist. Als sie das Recht erhält, eine neue Vampirin zu erschaffen, sieht sie sich mit der moralischen Entscheidung konfrontiert, ob sie ihre alzheimerkranke Schwester mit der Bürde des ewigen Lebens belegen soll oder nicht. Zu allem Überfluss nimmt sie eine rätselhafte junge Bluttrinkerin bei sich auf, die neu und scheinbar verloren durch die Stadt irrt. Damit gerät sie in ein undurchsichtiges Ränkespiel, und ein Dickicht aus Rätseln, Geheimnissen und Gefahren tut sich vor ihr auf.

Der erste Band enthält zudem eine Geschichte über einen jungen Klüngel – also ein familienartiger Zusammenschluss von Vampiren – von Anarchen, die grausamen Morden nachgehen müssen, um ihre eigene Existenz zu retten.

Der Band ist sehr spannend erzählt und überzeugt durch eine dynamische und atmosphärische Tuscheführung, ergänzt durch stimmungsvolle Farben. Abgerundet wird das Lesevergnügen durch Charakterbögen, die für den Einsatz im Rollenspiel gedacht sind. Durch diese lassen sich Cecily Bain und die Anarchenführerin Colleen Pendergrass auch am heimischen Spieltisch zum Leben erwecken. Ich freue mich bereits auf die Lektüre der weiteren Bände.

Vampire: The Masquerade, Winter's Teeth #1
by Guido A. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/17/2020 02:33:27

If you're a longtime fan of both Vampire the Masquerade and comic books, this is a must buy. Finally you can read a high quality comic book set in the VtM universe. -The tone is good, there is no shunning of the darker elements but also no puerile indulging on them. The personal drama is there, but in a measured way which is good in my book. -There is not much meat of the story in this first issue, due the decompression techniques of modern comic books. So it's hard to give an opinion on the main plot. -The two main protagonists aren't that great or original, but they work and they're cool enough and they avoid the usual tropes and stereotypes overused for female leads. So overall it's a good point for me. -There are a few very good strong sequences that can inspire your games if that's what you're looking for. Really liked them.

Four stars instead of five because: -From this starting point it looks like the scope of the story will be rather limited. Kinda feels like a "test" to see if comic books set in the WoD can sell. What I mean is the book doesn't seem to aim too high. -As first issues goes, it doesn't make a very good job at introducing you to what the series will be about. Sure if you're watching a movie it's fine not to know what the movie is really about just by watching the first 15 minutes. But we're talking about serialized fiction here. I get it's a common flaw in the american comic book media, but the fact that it's common doesn't make it less of a flaw. -There is some humor that feels forced. And it's there because all the modern fiction seems in need to put humor at any cost. Maybe it's just that I'm not american and so the more humorous aspect of the joke was lost on me, or maybe it was really forced. Anyway this need to make humorous commentary in any kind of fiction is becoming tiresome.

Overall my issues with this first issue are the same issues I have with the media as a whole. Seriously if you like comic books and Vampire, just buy it because it's worth a read.

Vampire: The Masquerade, Winter's Teeth #1

while the art is ok and having the character information at the end is useful , there does seem to be a mismisunderstanding between independent and anarch
