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 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.
The characterization is okay. A bunch of pretty weak okays. The coloring is really dark and sometimes makes it hard to properly distinguish between different characters and interiors, and for some inexplicable reason the entire mystery is revealed by the end of issue one.
After that I was mostly being dragged along while the characters were trying to find out something I already knew all about. Why not let it be a proper surprise at the end? There are many things in this world I don't understand. I would have given this two stars were it not for the ending, and the appearance of the most exciting character in the whole franchise, opening up for a whole bunch of exciting adventures with them and Cottings.
That bit was more than okay. View 2 comments. A very tricksy little Missy, indeed. The art is clever it matches the style of the game well with the green colour schemes for steal "Oh yes. This is the place Osric told me about If he's been lying to me, the next time we talk, I'll be leaving bruises. They wouldn't hold out on me. Not after the damage I did to them the first time around. In truth, these are the best weapons of an officer of the watch. These are the favoured tools of Dunwall's infamous Royal Protector.
Jun 01, Cale rated it liked it. 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 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.
It kind of captured the feeling of Dunwall, but it was so chaotic and dark that is muddied up much of the plot - anyone not a major protagonist was unrecognizable from page to page. And the story jumped around a lot, making it hard to follow. While I think the conclusion pulled everything together well and fed into the game in an appropriate manner, I spent most of the two middle issues not entirely sure what was going on. If you're a fan of the games, you might get some pleasure out of this.
But I don't think people who have played the games will get anything out of it. May 09, Arnela rated it it was amazing Shelves: action , adventure , blood , bootleg , fantasy , graphic-novel , magic , mystery , politics. 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 The art was pretty interesting, not really my style, but I dug the way it was colored.
Corvo is chasing a lead that he feels might take him to his lost sister and Martha is following a path leading to witches and magic [neither of which she thinks she believes in]. The mystery of what's actually happening and who's pulling all the strings was still incredibly captivating and capable of being followed even if you don't fully understand the world these characters inhabit.
I had a lot of fun reading this and I'm very curious about who the mastermind really is. I'm eager to see if the story was continued. 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. 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.. 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. Mar 14, Kamille rated it did not like it. 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. 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. Dec 23, Heiki Eesmaa rated it liked it. This one's honestly a smart side story, however it does not stand too tall without the plot of the games. Jun 05, LaToya Donnellan rated it it was ok.
Some very cool story ideas and fantastic artwork throughout. Oct 17, Viki rated it really liked it. Great story with one hell of an ending. Fans of the video game series should enjoy this comic very much. 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. Would love to read more! Jun 26, Salamanda rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics , owned-book , paperback-owned , video-games. I now have more questions than I did before. Nov 24, Graeme rated it really liked it. Good but something only Dishonored fans would like.
The biggest draw of this comic, honestly, is how it is so well tied with the source material. Artistically, it makes a number of nods to the art style, down to the color palettes, but it also follows the details of the locations, costumes, and equipment.
Dunwall feels alive in the comic, down to the details of the buildings, the character appearances, and even the story elements. One of the biggest issues I have with comics revolves around the two-page panels. This comic uses a number of these, and unlike some other comics, the flow is an issue and makes it difficult to read, being one of the biggest downfalls of this book. A personal pet peeve is the usage of cliffhanger endings.
While they are sometimes fitting, this one was just too…open, perhaps? The comic is intriguing, decently written, and has nice artwork.
