Book Reviews of Warhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade
Book Review: Excellent Window into the 40K Universe
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently started collecting the 40k figures on a whim, and have really gotten into it. I was interested in the Black Templars and decided to pick up this book. Definitely a good move.
This book is an excellent window into the 40k universe that you simply can't really get outside of graphic novels. The regular old block text novels do a great job at painting the picture for you, but they don't really have that extra edge that this books has, as well as the other 40K graphic novels, I'm sure.
Dan Abnett, as usual, sets a story and characters that are believable and fun to learn about. His amazing writing techniques coupled with the art from up-and-coming artists make this book a visceral experience in 40k's brutal world. I very much enjoyed the story and definitely feel it was worth the money I spent on it.
Book Review: I love: women, cheesecake and EPIC Battle scenes, blood, war and GLORY!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is nothing but pages upon pages of battle scenes and tales of GLORY! sure most of us have read the books, played the game, but this actually adds the visuals. So see how massive and dark the templar space marines are...This comic novel is a must read. You can go through the whole thing with an hour or two..but then you'll want to go back and read it over and over and over again . It is that good.
Read it give times already...
Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of the Warhammer 40,000 novels and especially of author Dan Abnett. However, I've alwasy considered myself to have outgrown graphic novels. This book, however, has made me a believer again. Awesome story! Great Graphics! Good Length! I'm a graphic novel guy again!Book Review: 40K Brought to life.
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a fan of warhammer 40,000 books, I recently purchased Damnation Crusade and am now planning on purchasing more 40K graphic novels to see what I've been missing.
Damnation Crusade Follows three members of the Black Templar space marine chapter: Neophyte Raclaw, a Space marine in training, Brother Gerhart, a space marine of the elite sword brethren, and dreadnought Tankred, A centuries-old space marine kept alive within an armored robotic shell. The plot switches regularly between the three characters, though this does not slow the story or become confusing. Anyone familiar the 40K universe will instantly settle in to the well paced, action packed read.
My one complaint is the artwork, Damnation Crusade was illustrated by six different artists, all of whom did an excellent job, but the artwork switches randomly throughout the story, which at time can make it hard to follow. One character, Brother Tove Skeld, completely changes appearance several times throughout the course of the story as he is portrayed by different artists.
Despite this slight shortcoming, Damnation Crusade is a fantastic piece of work; if you like Warhammer 40,000, or you just like a good graphic novel, your going to love this.
Book Review: Damn good crusade
Summary: 4 Stars
I read a few reviews before I got this product and I'll admit I was a little worried that I would be throwing away some money. To tell you the truth though, If you have a Templar army or just plain enjoy the hell outta warhammer 40k, I would Highly recommend this. I couldn't give this book a 5 star because some of the art was... average, however, The story was good, the fight scenes were great and it's warhammer. I would really like to give this product a 4.5 if that was an option.
