Last Reign: Kings of War, by Walt Becker

Plot

Far in the future, well after humanity has destroyed itself, the last vestiges of civilization are thrown back into a feudal society. From these last remnants, the kings possess armor that has been handed down from before the fall.

First Impressions

The first few pages introduce the comic’s mix of sword, sorcery, and technology. The action scenes start right from the beginning and are the highlight of the comic.

Lasting Impressions

The plot is a good vs. evil story in the same vein as Star Wars with horses. It even has lightsabers. This isn’t Shakespeare. Remember to leave your brain at the door and you’ll have a good time.

Behind the Scenes

The last section of the graphic novel is a compilation of the comic’s different covers.

Audience

The style is an old school throwback similar to the Masters of the Universe comic during the 80s. The story of good vs. evil will appeal to young teen boys who are looking for an action fix.
