Sword of Sorcery #8 (2013)


Cover:
 
The way Eclipso is holding those two women, shouldn’t those clothes just rip or something?
 
Plot:
 
Eclipso has declared war on the House of Amethyst, ready to destroy Amaya’s aunt and her kingdom.  Even though she is an enemy, Amaya and her friends head to battle Eclipso and his forces.  Will they be able to defeat him though?
 
Our Hero:
 
Whoa… she went super badass between issues.
 
Our Villain:
 
The man/demon knows how to throw one hell of a punch.
 
Our Side Characters:
 
Wait, why are you hugging her?  She tried to send assassins to kill your mom!
 
Action:
 
Good old fashion sword action and shield bashing!
 
Dialogue:
 
Still enjoyable to the very end.
 
Art:
 
It says the same artist drew everything, but yet the coloring feels different on some pages…
 
Most Memorable Moment:
 
Banished into the gemstone again!
 
Final Page:
 
And now everybody, serious pose!
 
What We Should Take from This Comic:
 
Amaya, her family, and friends have all defeated Eclipso and banished him back into his gemstone.  However, it disappears and with the threat of an eclipse where his power will be greater than ever, they need to find it soon.  Still, they won… for now.
 
What We Do Take From This Comic:
 
I’ll miss you all!  Please come back soon!
 
Yay or Nay?
 
Yay

Final Thoughts on the Series?

Was an enjoyable run from beginning to end with engaging and developed character and great world building.  Even had a solid backup with the Beowulf story (less said about Stalker the better).  Totally worth checking out, even if the story isn't completely finished and a few loose ends remain.
