Review: Atlantis Chronicles #7

Atlantis Chronicles #7 is an excellent conclusion to the miniseries that creates a greater appreciation of Aquamans origins #comics #comicbooks

Prophecies are a tricky thing especially when they come through. Belief and blind faith give people hope when everything around them fails. It’s the one thing that usually gives people a glimmer of light when they are sitting in darkness. I remember the first time I heard and saw a comprehensive explanation of what prophecies were and who these soothsayers were, it was a documentary about…

Atlantis Chronicles #6 continues a story that deepens with every issue #comics #comicbooks #aquaman

Man’s fascination with the sea has gone for centuries. The depths have been explored in myth, stories, and fables. The many tales surrounding the god Poseidon reach back centuries.

The rest of the world tends to look at our Civil War as residual effects of slavery. As anyone who has read about the events that lead to that point can see war was inevitable.

Review: Atlantis Chronicles #2

Atlantis Chronicles #2 is an entertaining chapter in a thrilling prequel. #comics #comicbooks #aquaman

The true mettle of a leader is tested when they are in the heat of battle. Being in the military, I saw how so many people in leadership roles would fail on a consistent basis. It would infuriate so many of us, even when we got in those roles, as we saw the true failing came from the top down. These missteps and just plain poor decisions would often put us in some dangerous situations. Often the…

Review: Atlantis Chronicles #1

Atlantis Chronicles #1 is a dense history that feels almost biblical in its telling. #comics #comicbooks

There is a level of attraction for readers of high fantasy which usually draws them to Terry Brooks in the first place. His books are usually steeped in lore and imagined worlds shaped by the past. Each story carefully taking the reader on a journey through eyes of a few narrators, each possessing an attribute that his audience can empathize with. Take for instance his Shannara Chroniclesbooks,…
