Thank you again Epic for giving us another fine Image comic.
Marvel Comics’ failed attempt last year to lure new talent into working for peanuts through their Epic imprint was a disaster. With the regime change at the “House Of Ideas” the plan was scuttled and all those stories in development were forced to peddle their wares somewhere else.
Jai Nitz and Kevin Sharpe’s Season Of The Witch was one of those stories and thanks to Image and what continues to be one of the best forums for creators to tell their original tales, it is finally in print.
This black-and-white prequel to the ongoing colour series gives readers lots to chew on. We are introduced to the Queen of Asamando, an orc-slaying warrior who inhabits a mysterious and dangerous realm. But as she hunts down a group of murdering orcs and exacts her sword-swinging vengeance, she reflects on a simpler life, an orc slaying warrior who inhabits a mysterious and dangerous realm. But as she hunts down a group of murdering orcs and exacts her sword-swinging vengeance, she reflects on a simpler life — on earth!
Season Of The Witch #0 is easily good enough to merit picking up the debut issue in October.
