Book Reviews of Warhammer 40,000: Damnation CrusadeBook Review: Until they make a movie, the cartoons will have to do Summary: 5 Stars
I missed the orginal Warhammer 40k cartoons that the black library put out. I might have to go back and see if I can get copies. This cartoon, book, just left me longing for a movie or computer generated graphics movie (i.e. Beowul or Rennisance) that pulled the whole Warhammer 40k universe into a visual end. The Black Library and associated writers have spend so much time building this universe and related story lines, books, characters, etc. that a movie or series of short stories would take this whole universe in a new direction. For example, I think the Star Trek series has forever strengthened with books ... Star Wars too ... Blade Runner has had a few positive, impactful books ... and any of the Aliens based books make that freaking nightmare of a creature just that much scarier. Read this cartoon/book if you like the Warhammer 40K universe, but take your time. Appreciate the artwork, appreciate the visiuals that move what you have read with the books together with the vision the writers and designers with Games Workshop!
Summary of Warhammer 40,000: Damnation CrusadeIn the nightmare future of the 41st millennium, Mankind teeters upon the brink of extinction. The galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by ravening aliens and threatened from within by malevolent creatures and heretic rebels. Only the strength of the Immortal Emperor of Terra stands between Humanity and its annihilation. Foremost amongst servants of the Imperium stand the Space Marines, mentally and physically engineered to be the supreme fighting force, the ultimate protectors of Mankind. The Black Templars are fearless champions and unforgiving crusaders against the enemies of the Emperor; Forged from the Imperial Fists Space Marines in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, the Black Templars have undertaken the longest crusade the Imperium has ever known to prove their loyalty. The series centers upon a new recruit to the Black Templars and a member from their elite Sword Brethren squad and, the most venerable of their warriors, the Dreadnaught. From the "Battle of Carrion Gulf" to the "Torment Crusade," we follow these genetically-enhanced super-warriors in their dedicated hunt for the enemies of the Imperium. Warhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade serves as an accessible opening chapter introducing new and old readers alike to this bloody, dark, ravaged universe of science fiction and fantasy! Gods of War and Ancestors, bless us now, for we go to war...
